Hémicycle (Hémicycle) is a modern-cuisine restaurant at 5 rue de Bourgogne in Paris's 7th arrondissement, near the National Assembly. [1]
Overview
Its name is a nod to the semicircular debating chamber of the nearby Assemblée Nationale. The interior is minimalist, mixing marble, 1970s furnishings and Lalique light fittings. The savoury side is the work of Italian chef Flavio Lucarini (formerly of Bistrot Flaubert and Jérôme Banctel's Le Gabriel), while desserts are handled by Aurora Storari (former head pastry chef at Le Clarence). The cuisine is decidedly Gallic yet personal and subtly Italian, lifted by acidic and bitter notes. [1]
Hémicycle is listed among the starred restaurants of central Paris in the MICHELIN Guide France 2025. The restaurant's own website confirms the name Restaurant Hémicycle, but the site is currently password-protected and does not publicly disclose a verifiable address, cuisine, chef or menu; no dish details were added from it.
