Episodes

What a beautiful surprise! Episodes has recently changed chef, and the transformation is remarkable. Every dish felt thoughtful, creative, and full of flavor. You can sense a new energy in the kitchen, confident yet refined. The experience was smooth from start to finish, with warm service and a cozy yet elegant setting. A must-visit if you’re looking for something fresh and exciting on the Paris dining scene.

Amazing experience at Episodes!! The food is creative, subtitle and obviously delicious. The service and atmosphere are unique. Really recommend this restaurant!!

We visited this restaurant as it earned one star from the Michelin guide. Probably we are not used to south american gastronomy, but many ingredient and dishes are too sour for our taste. The chef made a nice show of meat grilling with his specific barbecue. The waiter made us confused about the welcoming cocktail. I thought it was complementary as we were usually offered pisco sour when we travel in Peru and Chile. But finally we were billed 20e for the small pisco. Not sure if I would recommend this restaurant for my friends and relatives.

#94 in my challenge of testing every Michelin Stars in Paris in 12 months (follow me to get the latest publication). Ok, so as usual my question: what’s interesting here? Although it’s not a 2 stars, I’ll ask what’s extraordinary instead, because there is too much to say. Really a lot. So I’ll focus on only how the chef manage to transport you in his world. A bit of context, the chef is Brazilian but it’s not about Brazilian food. It’s about his universe. Right of the bat, the appetizers will take you away. So much so, that I was genuinely worried that they could not maintain that level all dinner long. It’s really a cuisine d’auteur, with of course, some strong references to Brazil. Then the starters arrived and the level was still there. Impressive. Often you have chefs that are good on appetizers, because it’s a style exercise and you have more freedom, but then fades away. Here it was not the case. Still, I was waiting for the main dish, as it is actually more difficult to succeed. But once there, the chef came and delivered us an extremely “gourmand “ (tasteful) one. Moving from exploring to grounding. Very smart move. And the desserts allowed us to land progressively. Masterful. I had the chance to speak with the chef (I guess it’s very likely you will as he’s very present), he’s just like his cuisine. Full of energy, yet exploring, able to focus sometimes but also with some explosions . With Alan Geaam, Oxte and le Palais Royal (I’m not mentioning the Japanese chef), he’s a good exemple of how assuming his roots to “overcome them” delivers a quite unique experience. A top tiers one star experience Ps: came back check the update

We were lucky to find a table the same day we arrived in Paris. Hope you will be lucky too :) the menu was like a trip to Brazil , with a truly intense flavor experience. A 5 star experience indeed :)

I went with high expectations and unfortunately found a mixed bag. Some of the dishes were absolutely delightful and surprising, but some were a bit off (the fish e.g. was a bit overcooked). The chocolate dessert was amazing. On the whole I would have preferred a more consistently Brazilian experience without the lobster for instance. The note however does not reflect the quality of the food, but rather ther service: we had communicated food allergies etc beforehand just to find them totally ignored, and one of the dishes was served without its main ingredient. But asking people what perfume they are wearing is totally inappropriate.

Great tasting and looking dinner - not cheap but definetly qualitative products used. Also the famrer from which farm the products came were there and toalked to us. For my opinion too much service - to many waiters looking on every move you make and filling up yout water glass after doing a nip on it, opening you the door to the toilet and helping you with the chair evertime you stand up or sit down. Also the professional photo team which was there and photgraphing and filming the cook and sometimes us made us feel a bit inconvient and observed.

Amazing restaurant. We truly enjoyed our time. The food was delicious and special. The Chef is very approachable and made sure we had everything :)
