L'Arrêt by The Grey

The Grey Will Bring Its Southern Cooking to Paris With a New Restaurant Next Year | Eater

"A longtime casual 7th-arrondissement café known for morning coffee, brasserie lunches, and early-evening wine is being transformed under new ownership by American restaurateurs Mashama Bailey and Johno Morisano. Without fanfare the tiny kitchen began serving Southern dishes — red rice balls, chicken country captain, and smoked fish dip — alongside classic Parisian offerings like croque monsieurs, steak tartare, and salades vertes, signaling a formal relaunch planned for early 2024 under a new name. The concept will center on French-focused cooking with explicit nods to Southern, port-city techniques and preparations; the interior seats about 50, an outdoor terrace adds extra seating, and a wine cellar below the dining room will be used for private dining." - Osayi Endolyn
