Everything you must do in Paris in July

Summer is here! To properly celebrate the radiant sun and the upcoming holidays, we don't miss the most desirable events offered by the capital. This month, we jot down in our agenda some wildly inspiring happenings in the most beautiful gardens of the region, a bouillabaisse just like on vacation signed by Mauro Colagreco, a dreamlike and soothing installation at the Bourse de Commerce, an ephemeral pool set up on the coolest rooftop in Paris, an exhibit on the early days of fashion, or even a 100% creative fair to catch artworks, clothes, and lovely jewelry. And because it’s time to take our financial future in hand, we don’t forget to make an appointment with Homki to sell our apartment in no time flat. Are you following us?

“Everyone should have access to a quality real estate service without having to pay exorbitant fees.” Starting from this idea, Homki launched in 2018, with the ambition of making life easier for sellers and buyers. Zero pressure, zero stress: super simple to use, the online platform allows for easy handling with free valuation by a local agent, photo shooting, management of visits from A to Z, shorter sales times – just 42 days on average between signing a mandate and accepting a purchase offer – and real-time reports. But the big advantage of this new gen’ real estate agency, which breaks the rules, is above all to offer lower costs compared to traditional physical agencies: in full transparency, instead of 5.78% of the property’s price, Homki charges fair and fixed fees (from €6,900 to €8,900 in Île-de-France and not one euro more).

The Homki Île-de-France agents, from the biggest French real estate networks, offer premium support for more peace of mind. With its unbeatable price, ultra-human services, and significantly shortened sale times, Homki has already helped more than 15,000 French people with their transactions and boasts a 4.9/5 rating on Trustpilot. Unbeatable here too. Result: you sell faster, go on holiday with a light heart, and have only one thing in mind: find your next dream apartment. Good news: the Homkers also take care of finding it for you in 600 cities in France, to catch the best deals, everywhere in the country...

It’s a piece of info we would have liked to keep secret to enjoy it before all the time slots are taken. But duty calls, so we’re tipping you off about the best heatwave plan of the summer: the Hoxton, the HQ of cool nestled in the heart of the Sentier, has turned its backyard into a real pool house with pool, deck chairs, soft serve ice cream, and 100% foodporn snacks. To enjoy it, just pick a time between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. (after that, no more dipping, only the terrace stays open until 10:30 p.m.) to enjoy three hours on site.

The deal? You pay €30 for a deck chair, €55 for a sun lounger, or €100 for a bed (so €50 per person). But the good news is that these reservation fees count as credit to use for food & drinks à la carte with Latin vibes, thanks to Patrón tequila sponsorship. Expect: quesadillas, croquetas, guacamole, fried squid, or grilled sea bass and Caesar salad, to be washed down with a cocktail served in a cute little bottle, unless you prefer refreshing mocktails like the Peach Tan (Martini Floreale, rooibos tea, peach, lemon). Yum: the soft serve is definitely worth a pretty story on insta. Nota bene: if all online slots seem full, don’t panic! Every 15 days, the Hoxton opens new ones.

La Piscine au Hoxton Paris, 30-32 rue du Sentier, Paris 2nd. Pool: 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.. Terrace with food and drinks: 11 a.m. – 10:30 p.m. Online reservations required.

We wrongly associate the liberation of the female body with Coco Chanel. But before her, there was Paul Poiret, to whom we owe the abolition of the corset! With his genius under his arm, he passed through the Belle Époque and the Roaring Twenties, ever more innovative and overflowing with ideas. From young couturier at Maison Worth to soldier during the war, big party-goer of the 20s and pioneer of commercial fashion, Poiret lived many lives... and had many interests. Because an eclectic genius doesn’t limit himself to one field, Poiret drew, painted, wrote books, decorated houseboats in Paris and launched the first perfume line by a fashion house. He was also the first to organize a fashion show tour across Europe, for publicity. A colorful man, revealed at the Musée des Arts décoratifs, in a fascinating monograph titled Fashion is a Party.

The exhibit gathers hundred-year-old dresses, drawings and prints of his collections and archival photos of his models wearing his creations. We learn about his passion for dance, parties, and travel, three major sources of inspiration in his work. The exhibit is composite: a wide variety of media interacting, and also polyphonic: we find works by other artists who once gravitated around Poiret, or contemporaries referencing him today. This artistic plurality reflects Poiret, who was the first to do the “collab”, meaning to call upon other artists to bring their expertise to his creations: textile workers, decorators, and illustrators worked with him, just like today. Let’s rush to discover this visionary who marked fashion history!

Paul Poiret, Fashion is a Party – at the MAD, from June 25, 2025 to January 11, 2026.

With the three stars of his Mirazur restaurant in Menton, his love for sunny cuisine, and all the menus he signs on the Riviera, Mauro Colagreco is the most Mediterranean of Argentinian chefs. Simple: all he needs is to change his accent to fool us. So when this product virtuoso takes on a monument of Provençal gastronomy, we rush there. Head to GrandCœur, his stunning restaurant in a cobbled courtyard in the Marais. Of course, we sit on the pretty terrace, lulled by the piano from ballet classes upstairs at the Centre de Danse du Marais. The setting is already perfect.

First service: crudo of the catch of the day (for us, prawns), rockfish broth to be jazzed up with rouille, grated cheese, and croutons, with extra garlic toasts to soak up and add to the delight. We try to save room for the second service featuring the star bouillabaisse, its chunks of rockfish (redfish, scorpionfish, black mullet...), slices of potato, fennel, and fresh herbs. Pure joy! We wrap it all up with a divine Peach Melba, just to cool down and prolong the holiday vibe (€14).

GrandCœur by Mauro Colagreco, 41 rue du Temple, Paris 4th. Bouillabaisse available until end of September. Menu at €69 per person for two services, lunch and dinner.

A summer ritual that we adore, it’s to receive one’s tribe at home around a sublime table, toast with rosé and chain the burrata tomatoes in a pretty service. The most desirable deco collab’ of the summer brings together the delicately compatible universes of Cabana, the devilishly chic deco house of Martina Mondadori and DESTREE, whose graphic and so stylish wardrobe comes straight from the imagination of Géraldine Arnault. The result of this enchanting capsule? Sublime ceramic plates made in Italy (starting at €75), whose floral and striped motifs evoke this Provençal aesthetic in the air of the times and are directly inspired by a former service belonging to Géraldine.

One inevitably invests in the tablecloths with Indian prints, available in a beautiful orange or a signature green of DESTREE (starting at €290) with matching table napkins (€110), unless you want to mix and match with lovely sets (€80) and embroidered napkins (€50). And because fashion is never far away for these two, superb passementerie accessories have also been crafted with an authentically French know-how. Perfect for a wedding: belts (€450) and clutches (€550) come in orange, black, cream or green.

It’s the exhibit that’s setting Instagram on fire since its opening in June, and you’ve probably already seen it while scrolling through your feed. clinamen, the contemplative and poetic artwork by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, invades the Rotunda of the Bourse de Commerce and won’t leave it until September 21. A multi-sensory installation to admire gladly for hours on end.

In Epicurean physics, “clinamen” defines the deviation or swerve of atoms from their fall in the void, which allows them to collide. This thesis, often reused in philosophy to demystify the notion of free will, is here adapted by the artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, who conceptualizes it in the form of contemporary art. The result? A dreamlike water feature, on which floating bowls collide their porcelain, composing on their own a meditative and ethereal symphony. We wander around this giant circular basin 18 meters in diameter, offering visitors an aquatic ballet where the bowls, everyday objects, create a poetic dialogue between materials, sounds and architecture, for an experience that can be just as individual as collective. Art lovers will find a modern air of Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, or the feeling of infinity in the blues of Mark Rothko. The musical ears will catch the aspect bordering on minimalist music, with randomness added. No surprise: Céleste Boursier-Mougenot is as much a visual artist and musician as he is talented and sought after by cultural institutions. A magnificent installation that urges meditation, to take a break in an always restless Paris.

clinamen by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, until September 21 in the Rotunda of the
Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection. 2 rue de Viarmes, Paris 1st. Open every day except Tuesday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Fridays until 9 p.m.. €15 full price.

With this heat, we have only one desire: to get cool... and go green. This summer, the Île-de-France region encourages us to discover the lush gardens of our surroundings, by organizing numerous events joyfully mixing culture and nature. Kid-friendly activities, ideal to green our weekends sheltered from the burning asphalt of the capital.

In Paris this month, we paint in watercolor at the Delacroix Museum (July 10), observe the stars at night in the big Parisian parks, attend a cuttings workshop at Eugénie’s gardens (July 6) or at the Renoir gardens of the Montmartre Museum, share a picnic at Vertu garden (July 10) or a discovery of wild plants at the Coulée verte (July 26)... A busy agenda we’re not shy to discover in detail on the event map. P.S.: for the launch weekend of Jardins Ouverts, concerts and shows are happening all over the middle and outer suburbs.

Jardins ouverts in Île-de-France, from July 5 to August 31, 2025. Launch weekend on July 3 and 4, a closing weekend on August 28 and 29.

Lovers of art and fashion, you have until July 27 to check out this arty fair blending fashion, cinema, design and music, just steps from the Centre Pompidou. After the success of the last edition, the Creative Fair is back in style in a 400 m² space where each creator sets up their own curated space to showcase their creations. This time, a theme has been imposed: Open field, between nature and creativity. As a result, we walk through a scenography mixing countryside fields, indoor garden, and forest-cinema, while discovering the creators of tomorrow. The not-so-negligible novelty? An immersive coffee shop with vegan drinks and food, which we rush to try. Great for dog parents: your dogs are welcome!

To note in your agenda, an ultra-diverse program: on Fridays, afterworks are organized with DJ sets and drinks, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturdays promise a completely crazy day with a 9-hour musical marathon and even a running club starting from the venue to run through Paris. Wednesdays will delight sharp intellectuals, between short film screenings in the movie room (July 2 and 23) and audiophile listening sessions (July 9 and 16). Among other events: live painting, fashion shows, talks of all kinds, showcases… A month that promises to be terribly fun, under the sign of creativity.

Creative Fair, 24 rue Beaubourg, Paris 3rd (50m from the Centre Pompidou). Open from July 1 to 27, 2025, Tuesday to Sunday, 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., late nights on Fridays until 9:30 p.m. Free entry.

This summer, the rooftop of Brach Paris in the chic 16th arrondissement transforms into a slice of the French Riviera. With its panoramic views of the Eiffel Tower, the space takes on a Provençal flair thanks to Villa Minuty, offering a Mediterranean escape high above the city. Famed for its elegant rosé wines from Saint-Tropez, Minuty brings the spirit of the Côte d’Azur to western Paris. Think rustic wooden and rope chairs, lush olive trees, and rattan light fixtures—every detail evokes the sun-drenched charm of the Riviera.

The experience continues with the drinks menu: start with the refined freshness of a Château Minuty Rose et Or 2024 (€15 per glass, €70 per bottle) or indulge in a Château Minuty 281 2024 (€120 per bottle). As for food, the menu is a celebration of Mediterranean flavors: Tuna-stuffed peppers (€9), Fig olive tapenade (€11), Slow-cooked artichokes with olive oil (€9), Tuna belly in olive oil (€14), Creamy eggplant caviar (€11) — all perfect for spreading on warm, focaccia-style bread (€5). Add a touch of color with a sun-ripened tomato medley (€14) or a bowl of fresh berries (€18) to round out your Provençal apéritif.
Insider tip: Arrive by 7 PM to secure a table and soak up the golden hour before sunset.

Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health. Drink responsibly.

Attention romantics who love to surprise their partner and singles looking for an intimate and elegant spot to impress on a first date. Our recommendation? Opt for the cozy interiors of Parisian luxury hotels for a chic drink for two. Nestled on a quiet street in the 6th arrondissement near Saint-Placide, the stylish 4-star Victoria Palace houses the James Bar, a discreet hideaway offering a velvety interior adorned in green, a pool table, and a charming tree-lined patio.

Behind the bar, Apollonia reigns as the hostess, crafting house-made syrups, infusions, liqueurs, and bitters. Trained in mixology at the École du Bar, this cocktail virtuoso offers a menu of signature and custom creations priced at €19: “I love creating cocktails and quirky concoctions!” she says. After a few questions about your tastes, she delivers a perfect herbal elixir made with rhubarb, Melifera gin (French!), lime, and orange bitters, or a short drink with exotic fruits, three-pepper liqueur, and ginger syrup. Also worth trying: one of the best Espresso Martinis in the capital, here enhanced with chocolate croissant-infused bourbon, house-made coffee liqueur, and tonka bean.(Paris je t'aime - Tourist office)

Pair your drink with shiitake chips (a delightful discovery), thyme, barbecue, or spice almonds, and warm bread to spread eggplant, chickpea, artichoke, olive creams, or mackerel or chicken rillettes (3 pots for €24). It smells like love at first sight here...

James Bar at Victoria Palace, 6 rue Blaise Desgoffe, Paris 6. 01 45 49 70 00. Open daily from 10 AM. Cocktails served from 4:30 PM on weekdays and 1 PM on weekends. Closes at midnight.

We were already smitten with Le Comptoir du Ritz, the chicest patisserie in Paris opened by the Place Vendôme hotel. Due to its success, the address on rue Cambon deserved a second location. Good news: on June 2, Le Comptoir opens on the Left Bank, right across from Le Bon Marché. At the helm: the excellent pastry chef François Perret, at the peak of his craft.

Tasted and approved: the signature sandwiches, with light and crispy puff pastry, make for a highly desirable snack at lunchtime (€15). A favorite is the subtly lemony and perfectly fresh salmon one, ideal for summer days. On the sweet side, indulge in the new collection of trompe-l'œil éclairs (€14), with a cloud-like texture but bold flavors, especially the coffee one, exclusive to this new address on rue de Sèvres. Its secret: the sweet-bitter flavor comes from using the same coffee beans as those in the bar, carefully selected by the LOMI brand. No excuses, then, not to enjoy a creamy cappuccino before treating yourself to some sweets to conclude your visit to this new spot in style.

Le Comptoir du Ritz, 45 rue de Sèvres, Paris 6. Opening on June 2.

This is the event not to be missed for an unforgettable date: every Wednesday evening, Le Melville, the famous Parisian jazz club, takes to the air just steps from the Bois de Boulogne, at the foot of the magnificent 18th-century Château de Bagatelle.

A dream setting where jazz, gastronomy, and English gardens blend together, ideal for enjoying the sunset that gives way around 10 p.m. to a magnificent starry sky. On the agenda: an exceptional four-course dinner-concert, during which the talented musicians of Melville offer us an enchanting jazz session in front of the rotunda. They are warmly applauded by the guests and encouraged by... the magnificent peacock of the garden, who also enjoys the show! A timeless interlude that feels like being at the Court of the Sun King.

On the menu, a specially designed and imagined menu for the occasion by Chef Malcom Ecolasse, who loves blending inspirations (Latin, Asian, and Tunisian...) and succeeds in offering his guests a sensory culinary journey that perfectly accompanies the music. On the menu: Chinese eggplant with labneh, chicken with marjoram and black curry, tender salmon ceviche, and dulcey-peanut mille-feuille. Fine wines and daily cocktails accompany these crafted dishes. Beware, the combination of all these pleasures creates such a romantic moment that one (re)falls in love!

Jazz at Bagatelle - Bagatelle Gardens, 42 Route de Sèvres in Neuilly, Paris 16th. Every Wednesday, from May 7 to July 30 – 100 covers. Reception from 7 p.m., concert at 8:30 p.m. A four-course dinner (3 savory dishes and 1 sweet dish) and concert - €100. Reservation required by the Thursday before the event. In case of bad weather, rescheduling to another date or refund.

Money means spending, and credit means debt, so let's dance at the new retrospective at the Grand Palais Immersif: Clubbing. On the agenda: a sensory and festive immersion into the world's greatest clubs, those that gave birth to the REAL crazy nights, from New York to Berlin, passing through Paris and Ibiza. An exhibition that makes you want to party until the end of the night!

Nightclubs have taken quite a hit in recent years. Recently, even Macumba closed its doors, signaling a real decline in the industry. As a tribute or a desire to make people dance again, some nostalgics are already working to make nocturnal parties and their decor a legendary subject. While the Disco exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris is a hit, the Grand Palais Immersif continues with a very cool retrospective on the history of the greatest clubs. Put on a headset and read their stories: Studio 54, Les Bains Douches, Le Palace, and Berghain invade the building's corridors, with faithful playlists and photos of these clubs, most of which are already closed, yet still iconic and fantasized. Some testimonies from lucky ones who experienced these crazy years, including French Touch pioneer Etienne de Crécy, punctuate the stroll through the history of clubs. Cool, as a spectator, it's also possible to join the party: either as a Meta Clubber by creating your avatar during the exhibition, or on the dancefloor set up for this occasion. Even better: we grab the few hundred tracks that Clubbing offers during the visit and reserve them for our future after-party after leaving the club.

Clubbing, an immersive dive into club culture. From May 13 to October 1 at the Grand Palais Immersif, 110 rue de Lyon, Paris 12th. Open Tuesday to Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Full price: €18.

The beautiful days are definitely here, and locking yourself in museums instead of enjoying such bright sunshine can be disheartening! The good alternative for those who want to have fun while cultivating themselves is to hang out on the banks of the Seine, with two artistic barges: Fluctuart and Quai de la Photo which, starting May 1, open their summer terraces and new exhibitions!

These are true open-air exhibitions offered by the artsiest barges in Paris! To enjoy a drink while boosting your general culture, head over to Bercy starting May 1 to take in the terrace at Quai de la Photo. On the program: urban photographer Jonk, exhibited over 400 m² on movable panels made of curtains that decorate the exterior. And for outdoor aperitif and art lovers, come back starting May 14 at Fluctuart, moored in the 7th arrondissement, hosting 5 Brazilian artists for the France-Brazil season. The space offers an artistic journey full of diversity, to sip a cocktail as if in Rio de Janeiro. Two places, two vibes, for a month of May filled with sun and culture!

"Naturalia, chronicle of contemporary ruins" by Jonk, from May 1 to October 19, at Quai de la Photo, 9 Port de la Gare, Paris 13. Monday to Sunday from 12 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.
"The Amazons" from May 14 to October 26, Fluctuart, 2 port du Gros Caillou, Paris 7. Monday to Sunday from 12 p.m. to 2 a.m.

These past days, you may have spotted a few bronze trees while walking through Faubourg Saint-Honoré. This original way of greening the city is by Andrea Roggi, an Italian artist dressing up the Faubourg with his creations until July 12! A prestigious meeting between Parisian heritage and contemporary art not to be missed.

It's fair to say that Andrea Roggi has carved out a cozy spot on the international scene. For spring, this master of sculpture has planted 6 of his creations in the chicest area of Paris. As you wander through the 8th arrondissement, you’ll find bronze statuettes like an open-air gallery, rooted from Place de la Madeleine to the sumptuous Hôtel de Crillon, where the masterpiece Energia della Vita — designed with jeweler Martin Katz — stands. His organic art, filled with existential reflection, symbolizing life, energy and existence, flows through the streets of this iconic area, blending contemporary art with the elegant architecture of Paris. A great excuse to enjoy a free and inspiring artistic stroll under the sunny skies.

Andrea Roggi, in collaboration with the Faubourg Saint Honoré committee, from April 17 to July 12. Place de la Madeleine, 54–58 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Place Maurice Barrès, at the corner of rue Royale and Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

Because any excuse is good to gather around a very chic drink in Paris, the fabulous MGallery hotels are back in style with their World Cocktail Month concept. This year, the 120 hotels in the Collection are inviting star designer Sarah Lavoine, who certainly has a knack for making tableware as desirable as it gets.

Just look: three cocktail glasses offer a tasting experience featuring exclusive Citadelle Gin recipes. To enjoy with your +1? The Cristal Diva with jasmine and orange blossom syrup, the Timeless Negroni infused with pineapple and pandan, or the Honey 75 with olive oil, verjuice, honey, and champagne. And to recreate the magic at home or give as a gift (Mother’s Day is on May 25, by the way), the hotels will be selling the glasses (€30 each). Our recommendation: cuddle up and toast at the extraordinary 38 Bar Lounge at the Hôtel L’Échiquier Opéra Paris – MGallery Collection (38 rue de l'Échiquier, Paris 10th), which will be offering these signature cocktails starting at €16.

MGallery Collection x Maison Sarah Lavoine x Citadelle Gin, collaboration from May 14 to August 31 in all MGallery bars worldwide.

Sixty minutes of ultimate relaxation in a beautiful setting, that’s a dream come true! This month, let Olivier pamper you with an unmatched wellness experience: a full-body massage at his lovely practice right in the heart of the 9th arrondissement.

What’s promised: relaxation and stress reduction, relief of muscle and joint pain, decrease in body tension, and better sleep quality. His Parisian practice is the ideal place to unwind in the sun: large windows, typical fireplace, and green plants. A well-deserved relaxing break.

We have already confessed our decadent passion for the frozen fruits of Fruttini. Coconut, dates, pineapple, strawberries, or citrus become real works of art to bring for dessert, for a tidy budget and an XXXXXL effect. If its address on rue Saint-Placide attracts the gourmets of Tout-Paris (and not only from the Left Bank!), Fruttini has just inaugurated a small shop/tea room a stone’s throw from Place de l'Étoile to enjoy these frozen delights on-site... from breakfast!

Look at this: for 19 €, in this beautiful cozy setting, all dressed in green, you get a piece of cake or pastry with a hot and/or cold drink of your choice (yum: the café latte is a little bomb). As a bonus: a frozen kiwi or banana to start the day full of vitamins. Too pretty, too chic: to Instagram urgently.

To celebrate its ten-year anniversary, Le Syndicat, the cult bar of the 10th arrondissement known for its ultra-contemporary creations, is revamping its cocktail menu: a radical change that takes us straight back to the 2000s. Wanting to reconnect with those memories of chewing gum, granita, sour candies, drinkable yogurts, and tropical drinks, the highly talented mixologists of Le Syndicat have focused on the aroma question. A major project combining two bold objectives: reconciling the general public with niche spirits and successfully incorporating them into this nostalgic palette of childhood flavors, with each potion priced at €15. A madeleine de Proust? No, a Mister Freeze with Armagnac !

Director Romain Le Mouëllic didn’t stop at a facelift with Y2K posters: the menu has also had a full makeover (literally). Designed by graphic artist Espérance Baux, it looks like CD covers and dresses each cocktail with an illustrative design, providing a visual representation of its taste and inspirations.
And what about the drinks? We’re totally melting for the Double Frozen, a spirit-based granita inspired by Malabar bi-flavor with a strawberry side (Lillet Rosé, Savanna rum blend, strawberry in three ways) and a banana side (Armagnac Janneau, Cap Mattei Blanc, Mélilot, banana); the Yog Deluxe inspired by Actimel and served in glass bottles (Gin Generous with yogurt, Sake Nigori, blueberries, lemon, vegan egg white); the Tropicool, capturing the famous taste of Oasis (Armagnac Janneau, Tropical Cordial, Cointreau pomelo distillate, Belle de Brillet pear); and the Ultimate Sour Mix, reminiscent of those tangy candies we used to love (Calvados Boulard, white Armagnac, redcurrants, green apple, kiwi, Antik Fire rum, lime), also available in Mocktail versions. Feeling nostalgic yet?

Le Syndicat, 51 rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis, Paris 10e. Open daily from 6:30 PM to 2 AM

Want to recharge your batteries without leaving the city? Head to Le Petit Beaumarchais Hôtel et Spa, a cozy spot in the 11th, where you can relax and destress. Here, it’s simple: no crowds, no noise, just a private spa all to yourself (and if you like, invite your partner to join you). The promise: a zen atmosphere, a beautiful pool, stone arches transporting you elsewhere, and 50 minutes to enjoy a perfect break to forget the daily stress.

Disconnect immediately by immersing yourself in the Flotarium to release all tensions, followed by a sauna to detoxify and allow for deep relaxation. Bonus: Hot or cold drinks are available to extend your cocooning moment.

Le Petit Beaumarchais Hôtel & Spa, 8 boulevard Beaumarchais, Paris 11th.
Open daily from 10 AM to 8:30 PM, with 50-minute private sessions.
Online reservations starting at €80.

When we heard that a new dürüm spot had opened in Paris, our blood ran wild. Without a second thought, we headed straight to Sentier to grab a seat at Leven, a pocket-sized canteen launched by Franco-Kurd Victor Yasar. There's good vibes in the air! In a tiny space designed to evoke Middle Eastern covered markets, you can watch the open-flame grilling up close, while in the kitchen, chef Or Bitan (formerly of Dalia) performs a true choreography with the dough for her dürüm bread. After all, these Levantine street food stars are hot items at lunchtime, replaced in the evening by delightful sharing plates served in a dimmer ambiance with music and candles.

Yum: lamb, grilled mackerel, veggie with mushrooms, kefta, or chicken dürüms are filled with fresh veggies and divinely spiced sauces. Also on the menu: chirchi, a butternut squash cream with cumin and garlic (€5), and the incredible grilled pointed cabbage with tahini, date molasses, mild chili, and pumpkin seeds, which we’re still dreaming about (€7). Cool: even the desserts pack a punch, with a perfectly moist carrot cake nestled between syrup and a hefty dollop of crème fraîche (€7) or a light malabi flan with orange blossom (€7).

Leven, 110 Rue Montmartre, Paris 2nd. Open Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner, Sunday and Monday for lunch.
