The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Matan Zaken has thrown out the culinary rulebook! After globetrotting as the private chef to top fashion houses, with stints at Frenchie in London, the George V with Christian Le Squer and Saturne with Sven Chartier, the French-Israeli chef now host you in this astonishing vaulted cellar opposite the Palais Royal. In the convivial atmosphere created by having one enormous table laid for 20 guests, he proposes a Scandinavian-style set menu that features creative cuisine drawing on multiple influences (notably Japanese and Middle Eastern) and a variety of culinary techniques (low-temperature cooking, binchotan charcoal, fermentation, brine pickling etc). Think superb line-caught turbot with chanterelles, finished with a potent blackberry-sherry vinegar-Kampot pepper condiment and a fermented rye miso sauce. Very attentive service.
