At Virtus, a chic spot in Paris draped in vintage décor, expect creative tasting menus that spotlight seasonal vegetables and intricate, flavorful sauces.
"A few steps from Aligre Market, the stylish dark blue façade hides a vintage interior dotted with Art deco details. It is now the haunt of a talented couple, Frédéric Lorimier in the kitchen and Camille Gouyer in the dining room. Inspired by his background of excellence (in particular with Arnaud Donckele in Saint Tropez), the chef meticulously, almost surgically crafts dishes using seasonal produce, thanks to flawless technique and exquisitely aromatic sauces: roast langoustines, almost scorched baby broccoli and a gutsy jus or veal sweetbread with confit of shallots and lemon-flavoured jus." - Michelin Inspector
"Behind the blue façade, a vintage interior with an Art Deco feel awaits you – as do dishes that are notable for being perfectly cooked and finished with superb sauces." - The MICHELIN Guide
"At Virtus, every pot, every pairing is like a gentle note that stirs deep emotion in me." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Virtus, which is within spitting distance of the Marché d’Aligre, is run by two of Arnaud Donckele’s team from the days of La Vague d’Or (the Three MICHELIN Star restaurant in Cheval Blanc Saint-Tropez) – Chef Frédéric Lorimier and restaurant manager Camille Gouyer. The restaurant enjoys an elegant and convivial atmosphere, with dishes that focus on the seasons and ingredients cooked to perfection." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Japanese chef Chiho Kanzaki tied up with chef Marcelo Di Giacomo from Argentina to start Virtus, a trendy restaurant in Paris. Vegetables take the limelight in their pared-down, refined recipes, which feature a tantalizing marriage of flavors." - Kenneth Goh
