Clutch

Clutch on rue de Montreuil (75011) is a true bistronomic gem where contrasts define the experience, both on the plate and in the vibe. From the moment you arrive, the staff radiate genuine warmth, striking a perfect balance between professionalism and heartfelt hospitality—a rare find in Paris. The menu, crafted by Chef Pierre Rieder (@pierre_rieder ), is a vibrant showcase of seasonal creativity inspired by his years under Pierre Sang. Flavors glide effortlessly from bold to refined, often within the same course. The roasted Saint-Jacques—a personal favorite—arrive perfectly seared atop a silky salsify and celeriac-sarrasin puree, highlighted by the brightness of yuzu-pear gel and the subtle crunch of pecan, each bite a vivid study in texture and depth. Equally compelling, the confit pork is supremely tender, paired with pillowy potato gnocchi - so soft #OMG - and a vibrant red cabbage coleslaw, transformed by aromatic hints of feta and tarragon. Every element sings yet stands in stark, delicious contrast—a testament to Chef Rieder’s instinct for flavor and harmony. A standout among the starters was the tian de légumes croustillant: layers of autumn vegetables delivering crunch and freshness, unexpectedly lifted by the subtly tangy labneh. As you fork through the sunlit colors, there’s this moment when the creamy labneh offsets the crisp veggies—“a bite that sums up Clutch: earthy, bright, and cosmopolitan all at once,” as one guest put it. Chef Pierre Rieder’s inventive, multicultural style celebrates both contrasts and unity—making @clutch.paris a culinary destination and a true reflection of modern Paris.

Went to Clutch on our last night in Paris and it was incredible. The staff were very hospitable for us non-French speakers (we are learning…). The food is the best of modern French food. International flavors with the finesse and presentation so unique to modern French. The dishes were both delicious and balanced and paired well with the wines we ordered. This place is awesome.

This is our second magnificent time enjoying the atmosphere, the staff, and the magical food! The staff is so attentive. The food is both a pleasure to the eyes as it is to your palette! Make a reservation in what is soon to be a 5 star restaurant!

Delicious and light food dishes, perfectly paired with a glass of wine or two by the attentive and knowledgeable staff. The poached pineapple dessert provided a nice balance of sweetness and a refreshing pallet cleanser.

A flawless 5-star experience from start to finish. The warm welcome and genuinely friendly staff set the tone for the evening, while the impeccable attention to detail, excellent wines, and exquisite dishes elevated it even further. Clutch is truly deserving of recognition—I was thoroughly impressed and delighted by both the cuisine and the outstanding service.

Amazing dinner, atmosphere was lively and area a hidden gem.

We came across Clutch on Google maps as it was close to our hotel, but the website showed it was full so we asked to be added to the waiting list. The chef text my husband and offered us a bar seat in front of the kitchen, which we accepted. The owners/staff were great and extremely welcoming from start to finish! They even gave us some little tasters and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Food was absolutely out of this world, not a single criticism.....I would recommend clutch to anyone that is visiting Paris! By far one of the best meals we have ever had and the staff were genuinely lovely!!

Cool place. Dishes are excellent, innovative and quite well dressed. Ingredients are obviously selected with great care and perfectly cooked. The service is fine (the chef or the sous-chef come to your table to explain the intention of the dish). The menu changes quite often as does the wine menu, which is good. Prices are reasonable.
