Contraste

The contrasts come thick and fast at this restaurant, starting with the decor, which sees the original elegance of the location set off by more contemporary details. Contraste is also the name of a famous champagne vintage from Anselme Selosse – featured, among others, on the extensive wine list. This is a place where you can savour meticulous, up-to-date, flavoursome cuisine based on the finest seasonal produce and presented in a number of tasting menus, each comprising several courses.

A dining room built on contrasts

• Period details, then clean contemporary touches, a room that sets old Paris against a newer, sharper line.

Menus as the main format

• Lunch and dinner are structured around multiple tasting menus, built to reveal flavours and textures course by course, with sauces and reductions doing a lot of the heavy lifting.

A wine list that leans wide

• An extensive list, with Champagne as a calling card, sits alongside the kitchen's modern, seasonal cooking.

Signature Ingredients

• Seasonal market produce: Cooking built around peak-season ingredients, the kitchen moves through several-course tasting menus rather than a single fixed signature plate.
• Sauces, jus, reductions: The flavour engine is in the pan work, with concentrated sauces and reductions used as the through-line across the menus.

Tasting Menu

• Menu – De 30 Ans: €98
• Signature Tasting Menu: €250
