Gare au Gorille

On the Grid : Gare au Gorille

"Gare au Gorille sounds like a tribute to Georges Brassens. Marc and Louis have a leitmotiv: sharing. Plates to share, especially at dinner when a dozen of creations are served. There, everything comes from organic farming, which makes the flagship dish of the restaurant even better: the glazed vegetables with butter inspired from the Arpège kitchen. Louis will make you taste some of his 120 references of natural wines, coming directly from all around the world. Real friendliness and human warmth in a place with minimal decoration, but well-chosen natural materials." - Brand Brothers

"Marc Cordonnier has now found his niche in the Batignolles neighbourhood. He knows how to prepare ingredients without subverting their essence, and devises bold, unfussy and original cooking with more personality than posturing. Meanwhile, his acolyte, Louis Langevin, is a benevolent mine of information on a fine array of natural wines." - Michelin Inspector
