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.

Members' reviews on FRENCHIE
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Small restaurant with 9-10 tables, was able to get a reservation online with a little persistence, definitely required keeping an eye when the reservation window opens.
The night we dined there it was a 100% American crowd of tourists, some clearly had no idea what the place was about, which was a shame.
Important to note that when we dined there, it was a blind tasting menu, in which they accommodated dietary restrictions.
The food was outstanding, the execution perfect, and with great creativity. The eggplant (3 ways if I recall) was perhaps the most memorable bite for me, with a crispy skin component and a warm fleshy component in 1 bite was awesome.
The service was absolutely fantastic. I find sometimes the service in Michelin starred restaurants to be too stuffy, formal, and even unpleasant. Not the case here, wait staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly courteous to all guests.
We dined in a few of Paris' top restaurants during our trip, and this was the best meal we had.
Laissez vous porter, l’expérience n’en sera que plus belle!
