HAS Paris, Cyril Lignac writes a good looking left financial institution story. It was there that he as soon as gained his first star for his restaurant Le Quinzième, now remodeled into Ischia, a classy neo-trattoria. It can also be there, close to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, that the media chef, who was a juror of the culinary competitors Top chef initially, developed its small empire with, amongst others, an atmospheric bistro (Aux Prés), a Chinese counter launched final summer season (Dragon) and the Bar des Prés, which in just a few years turned a “sushi-esque” hit.
So a lot in order that the latter has infants. After London and the Mayfair district, the Bar des Prés is shifting to the proper financial institution of Paris, the place Lignac already owns the Chardenoux bistro. Since this week, Paris has a second Bar des Prés, in 8e district, close to rue Montaigne, therefore its identify. Good information because the neighborhood lacks eating places of curiosity.
Bar des Prés Montaigne: it’s completely uncooked!
Slightly bigger in dimension and squarer in form, the little brother takes up the codes of its elder from rue du Dragon, from which it clearly bears the identical DNA. Always looking out for design and structure, the KO studio has imagined a setting merging inspirations. Wood, marble and floral touches mingle whereas the bar faces an alignment of small alcoves preferrred for tasting.
On the menu aspect, in truth, it's at all times slightly reward of the native produce. Sushi, sashimi and cordial makis sit subsequent to small, vibrant plates the place the slicing and seasonings make the distinction: sea bream marinated in yuzu and rocotto pepper, yellowtail with ponzu sauce, tuna in tataki seasoned with karashi mustard… The totem dish of the Bar des Prés historic, the crunchy curry cake, is after all there. And the place, after just a few days of opening, already completely in place.
