"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
"In Paris I saw his rise to executive chef at the tasting-menu restaurant Frenchie mirror the restaurant's ascent to one of the hottest places in town; across the cobblestoned Rue du Nil the owners opened a wine bar serving snacks such as a merguez Scotch egg and then specialty stores, turning that block into what he called 'foodie central,' where discerning locals shop for produce, meat, fish, cheese, and bread." - Shauna Lyon
"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
