Officially "launched" in the early 1970's by restaurant critics, H. Gault and
C. Millau, this cuisine partly grew out of chefs' frustrations with the
rigidity of the classic French cuisine. The main principles of Nouvelle Cuisine
are simplicity of preparation, freshness of ingredients, attractive
presentation and smaller portions.

14 rue de Castiglione (1st Arrondissement), +33 (0)1 42 86 82 82
The interior of the restaurant is set up as a series
of small rooms decorated in a modern style.
The menu is also very modern, although vaguely based
on the southwestern cuisine.

When the restaurant opened its doors in 2003, it was one of most
talked-about gastronomic arrivals in town. Celebrity chef Joël Robuchon
organized his restaurant as a Parisian version of
a modern tapas bar: 36 seats around an open kitchen serving
small portions of creative dishes. Reservations are only
taken for the first sittings of each meal: 11:30am, 2pm
and 6:30 pm. After that, line up, like everybody else.
