Restaurant in Paris offering a French cuisine with international influences, a "carte blanche" menu at lunchtime.
When the talented Grégory Marchand decided to settle on his account on the narrow Nile Street in 2009, he took a windy look at Jamie Oliver, a famous colleague, who called him «Frenchie.» And it can be said that in eight years, little Nantais has been able to impose itself as one of the best restaurateurs in the capital. The restaurant is so great that you have to reserve a few days in advance to make sure you have dinner. In Frenchie, you can find French cuisine with international influences, in a wall of brick walls and apparent beams. In short, a restaurant in the air of time. Since 2014, only a "carte blanche" menu is offered, both noon and evening. A proposal rhythmic by the seasons and the desires of the chef. This beautiful idea has made way and allows many customers to discover certain flavors. Thanks to its success, Grégory Marchand also opened cellar, take-away and wine bar of its address, all of which is of course rue Du Nile.

Be back. Great food,staff, and ambience:)
The amuse-bouche was a delightful citrus surprise - a tiny flower decorated surprise that burst with a tangy citron flavor. As the courses unfolded, citrus notes danced on my palate, adding a refreshing and vibrant touch to each dish. The lamb main course was mind-blowing, perfectly prepared 3-ways was brightened by a touch of lemon zest, while the hint of yuzu in the accompanying sauce added a delightful complexity. Even the dessert, a decadent banana banoffee, was lifted by a whisper of citrus, leaving a lingering sweetness on my tongue.
It wasn't just the food; it was art on a plate, meticulously crafted to tantalize both the eye and the palate. The global influences Chef Marchand wove in were delightful surprises, but it was his use of citrus that truly stole the show. Each bite was a testament to his creativity and his deep understanding of how to use these complex flavors to elevate his dishes.
While the tables are close, it fostered a warm and convivial atmosphere, letting me soak in the Parisian energy and chat with my fellow diners. It was the perfect balance of intimacy and liveliness.
Sure, it's a splurge (€140!), but for a special occasion, it's absolutely worth it. This wasn't just dinner; it was an experience I'll cherish forever. If you're looking for an intimate and indulgent exploration of French gastronomy with a delightful citrus twist, look no further than Frenchie. It's pure magic!
