Chef's Restaurant

Gilles Choukroun is just as happy in his Baca'v as he was in the good old days at the Café des Délices, in this setting, which he has significantly enhanced with the help of close, handpicked artisans—from the mosaic in the entryway to an engraved mirror—creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that extends onto a sidewalk terrace. Today, his cuisine features fewer spices and Mediterranean influences, but instead offers a beautiful and authentic Parisian home-style cuisine, with puff pastries, sauces, and quality ingredients—though, of course, the chef still possesses a keen sense of seasoning and the perfect balance of flavors. This is evident in his take on burrata with tomatoes—featuring fresh vegetables and an addictive vinaigrette—an inspired celery and foie gras remoulade, a delicious pâté en croûte to share as an appetizer, the parmentier with blood sausage and pig’s trotter, or the generous and indulgent hot rabbit and Swiss chard pâté with a lovely reduced sauce. Pleasant service, an extensive wine cellar curated by the owner—over 400 labels, ranging from today’s classics (Da Ros, Pithon, Chidaine...) to well-established names—and a very fair price-to-pleasure ratio.
