Cool Paris

Discover a unique place conceived by the architect Odile Decq in the heart of the Palais Garnier. A mezzanine made of amazing shapes surrounds the original architecture of the Palais Garnier without ever touching it. The design is special, yet a big contrast with the classic Palais Garnier. But it matches, no doubt about that. The chef is Yann Tanneau who makes great dishes.

“We went to this restaurant a few days ago just for one course and came out with a big smile on our faces.

After we ordered our food we got an appetizer. It was a bisque of langoustine with whipped cream on it and ciboulette.It was exceptionally good and tasted like more.
The wine and the meal were very professionaly served. I had young leek with a poached egg and some really good sauces. My mother got scallops with an espuma. My father got carpaccio of langoustines with a fresh salad. I’m not really a fish eater but the dishes of my parents were really good but I loved my dish the most. I’m a vegetarian and my dish was like heaven for me.
When we went out I had a very big smile on my face and I was asking my parents to come back for a whole menu.”

When you like pizza, this is the place to be. Pizza di Loretta serves pizza by pieces. The price is charged by weight.Wines are good price/quality.

When you come in, the friendly and joyful staff asks you to make your choice. Eight or ten different kinds are begging to be chosen, they all look better than the other. You can eat in or take away. It’s simple but correct.

Last night we were offered some risotto croquette.Then the chef made some jokes(it was typical italian style). You can actually see the chef making the pizza’s.

Pizza di Loretta is the place you want to go to!

When Gilles Choukroun started at Mini Palais we had great meals. Some months later we invited some friends : half of the platters where great, half of them where so-so.

Now he started up a new restaurant MBC (Mint-Basilicum-Coriander). It is said that his meals are great when he’s in the restaurant. Otherwise it’s as before. He’s a kind of adventurer and it’s always nice to try some of his new creations, so next time I will try to make a reservation. The interior seems rather daring modern chic. The service is very friendly.
