"Chef Grégory Marchand learned the trade in some of the English-speaking world's top restaurants (Gramercy Tavern in New York, Jamie Oliver's Fifteen in London, Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong). In his compact restaurant in the heart of the Sentier area, the space (with exposed brick, beams and stonework) quickly fills to capacity, thanks to cuisine that is perfectly in tune with today's international inclinations, rooted in meticulous sourcing (from the ceramic plates to the fruit and vegetables from Terroirs d'Avenir opposite). The marriages of flavours are original and ingredient led, and the Anglo-American twist is particularly noticeable when it comes to the desserts. Two services (6.30pm/7pm and 9.30pm)." - Michelin Inspector
"One of the hardest restaurants to get into in Paris, Frenchie is Chef Gregory Marchand’s Michelin-starred temple to contemporary French gastronomy. Having worked at top restaurants like Gramercy Tavern in New York City and Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen in London, Marchand transforms traditional French recipes and techniques with unusual flavor combinations drawn from an international repertoire. With exposed brick and stone walls, wooden beams, and an open kitchen, the restaurant has a laid-back, unassuming atmosphere that belies the level of culinary invention happening in the kitchen." - Laura Itzkowitz
"Nam was formerly the pastry chef at Electric Lemon and One Star Frenchie in Paris." - The MICHELIN Guide
"This first-come-first-serve wine bar is a tough seat for good reason: The small plates are crafted from superb ingredients, and the wine list is reasonably priced. Closed on weekends, you can usually snag a spot in the first wave by going early in the week, and arriving 20 minutes before the 7pm opening."
