Haute gastronomy, inventive French cuisine, seasonal ingredients, wine pairings




























"Run by an art-collecting couple, the restaurant feels like eating in a painter’s studio, where color, balance and quiet refinement guide the experience." - Ty Gaskins
"A Canadian couple, Noam Gedalof from Montreal and Etheliya Hananova from Winnipeg, run this fine Parisian restaurant. The chef draws his inspiration from Gallic traditions, to which he adds a modern spin. His mission is to highlight seasonal ingredients with the utmost care, tailoring the single set menu to the produce of the moment. The flavoursome results are to be sampled in a natty modern interior with vivid blue walls hung with paintings by contemporary artists. The cordial front-of-house team is directed by Hananova, who also welcomes diners in a manner befitting the Canadian reputation for warm hospitality!" - Michelin Inspector
"At this intimate, casually elegant Michelin-starred restaurant in eastern Paris, Canadian chef Noam Gedalof cooks suave, inventive French cuisine and his wife, sommelier Etheliya Hananova, runs a wine list that features well-priced, lesser-known bottles from around the world. The menu evolves regularly according to Gedalof’s latest inspiration and the seasons, but don’t miss dishes like sea bream tartare with buttermilk vinaigrette; risotto with beurre blanc, butter-poached lobster, and caviar; organic Corsican veal chop; and chocolate soufflé for two. Located in the 16th arrondissement. Best for: A special meal that doesn’t break the bank." - Alexander Lobrano

"The only reason to come to this quiet stretch of the 16th arrondissement, about midway between the Roland Garros stadium and the Trocadéro, is to have dinner at this charming Michelin-star restaurant. Canadian-born owners Noam Gedalof (the chef) and Etheliya Hananova (the sommelière) lean into the classic French repertoire but give both the food and the space's interior a contemporary twist. For the four or five-course meal, you'll invariably start with the most ethereal gougères filled with an aged comté Mornay sauce, and a seasonal velouté you'll be thinking about days later. For the rest, diners choose among several options for the starters, mains, and desserts—all of them radiant and bright—but can also add on splurge-y dishes to the prix-fixe, like lobster, turbot fish, or a meat course for two. Chocolate lovers, take note: the soufflé served with homemade vanilla ice cream served tableside, is pure pleasure." - Lindsey Tramuta, Sara Lieberman

"Tucked in the 16th, Comice felt improbably chic for its location: the tasting menu was a finely choreographed sequence with thoughtful wine pairings, run with the casual elan of a French‑Canadian husband‑and‑wife team; everything we ate was a delight." - Elise Taylor
