The festive table that is a hit in the 2nd
The appointment is therefore made at 93 rue Montmartre, between the Bourse and the Sentier . And it's very simple: since its opening this summer, the restaurant is always full.
Better: it is shielded by a dream clientele who come to socialize and be seen after work: the power girls of luxury and fashion houses, the merry gangs of friends in their thirties and demanding finch who like to mix the good guys. and the spirit of celebration without fuss. They flirt, they drink and they laugh harshly in an atmosphere as we like them ...
No successful restaurant without a very identifiable decor, with high photogenic potential, report to Insta. The staging of the best taste was entrusted to the studio Mur.Mur Architectes who imagined a unique place of its kind: benches on the street, wide open picture windows, bar canon, terracotta tone and rattan furniture .

To ensure its gastronomic promise, Benjamin went to find “ the ” chef who is the benchmark to bring out the new generation of oriental tables Miznon and Shouk . In this case Or Bitan .
A bet that was all the more successful as this time, she is leaving aside street food gimmicks to assert Levantine cuisine that is at the same time simple, cool, elegant and refined. And it is a delight.
