WHEN FUSION CUISINE MEETS PARISIAN ELEGANCE
Since opening in 2016 in Paris' historic district, the German-Pratin restaurant has won over gourmets with its refined, creative cuisine. Building on its success, chef Cyril Lignac has decided to export his concept to London in 2021, marking his first international location. In 2024, it's the turn of Paris's chic 8th arrondissement to welcome the family's newest addition: Bar des Prés Montaigne.
At the Bar des Prés Montaigne, the menu is a hymn to the fusion of flavors and cultures. Designed to be shared, each dish showcases exceptional products, with a predilection for fresh fish and seafood. Sashimi, sushi and maki are prepared à la minute, accompanied by fresh wasabi and pickled ginger, and topped with a homemade nikiri sauce for an explosion of flavors on the palate. The dishes are distinguished by their subtlety and elegance, with bold flavor combinations and perfectly balanced seasonings. Whether it's yellowtail mi-cuit with ponzu and chili oil, chutoro mi-cuit with jalapeno vinaigrette and crunchy radish, or sea bream marinated with yuzu and rocoto chili, each plate is a true gustatory voyage.
The Bar des Prés Montaigne doesn't just seduce the taste buds, it also delights the eyes with its sumptuous décor. Imagined by Studio KO, the architectural duo behind the original address, the space combines glamour and understated elegance, paying homage to the prestige of Paris's golden triangle. Inside, a long Italian yellow marble counter sits alongside generous banquettes embroidered with peacock feathers, while an intimate rattan-clad alcove invites you to relax. Electric blue leopard carpeting contrasts with crimson mahogany woodwork, creating a sophisticated yet warm atmosphere.
Whether for dinner with friends, a business lunch or a romantic rendezvous, the Bar des Prés Montaigne offers an unforgettable culinary experience. With its innovative fusion cuisine, hushed ambience and impeccable service, this establishment promises moments of conviviality and wonder to all who pass through its doors. For an even more memorable evening, the Bar des Prés Montaigne offers original cocktails inspired by flavors from around the world, as well as two exceptional sakes. And for those who love to dance, a DJ is on hand on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings to set the mood right through the night.
The Bar des Prés Montaigne is also a place for artistic and cultural discovery. In addition to its exquisite fusion cuisine, it offers a space where diners can admire exhibitions by renowned contemporary artists. These temporary exhibitions add an extra dimension to the experience, offering total immersion in art in all its forms. In addition, themed evenings are organized regularly, featuring musical performances, wine tastings and discussions on gastronomy and art.
