WHEN FUSION CUISINE MEETS PARISIAN ELEGANCE
Since opening in 2016 in Paris's historic district, the Saint-Germain-des-Prés restaurant has won over gourmets with its refined and creative cuisine. Building on its success, chef Cyril Lignac decided to export his concept to London in 2021, marking its first international expansion. In 2024, the very chic 8th arrondissement of Paris will welcome the newest addition to the family: Bar des Prés Montaigne.

At Bar des Prés Montaigne, the menu is an ode to the fusion of flavors and cultures. Designed to be shared, each dish showcases exceptional ingredients, with a focus on fresh fish and seafood. Sashimi, sushi, and maki are prepared to order, accompanied by fresh wasabi and pickled ginger, and drizzled with homemade nikiri sauce for an explosion of flavors. The dishes are distinguished by their subtlety and elegance, with bold flavor combinations and perfectly balanced seasonings. Whether it's the seared yellowtail with ponzu and chili oil, the seared chutoro with jalapeno vinaigrette and crunchy radish, or the sea bream marinated in yuzu and rocoto pepper, each plate is a true culinary journey.

The Bar des Prés Montaigne not only delights the palate, but also enchants the eyes with its sumptuous décor. Designed by Studio KO, the architectural duo behind the original establishment, the space blends glamour and understated elegance, paying homage to the prestige of Paris's Golden Triangle. Inside, a long Italian yellow marble bar sits alongside generous banquettes embroidered with peacock feathers, while an intimate rattan alcove invites relaxation. The electric blue leopard-print carpet contrasts with the deep purple mahogany woodwork, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and welcoming.

Whether for a dinner with friends, a business lunch, or a romantic date, the Bar des Prés Montaigne offers an unforgettable culinary experience. With its innovative fusion cuisine, intimate atmosphere, and impeccable service, this establishment promises moments of conviviality and wonder to all who walk 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 Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights to keep the party going until the early hours.

The Bar des Prés Montaigne also embodies a place of artistic and cultural discovery. In addition to its exquisite fusion cuisine, it offers a space where guests can admire exhibitions by renowned contemporary artists. These temporary exhibitions add another dimension to the experience, offering total immersion in art in all its forms. Furthermore, themed evenings are regularly organized, featuring musical performances, wine tastings, and discussions on gastronomy and art.
