L'Archeste (L'Archeste) is a modern-cuisine restaurant at 79 rue de la Tour in Paris's 16th arrondissement, currently holding one MICHELIN star. [1]
Overview
The restaurant has an inviting storefront and a pared-back setting: dark brushed-effect paint, a wooden structure and a large window flooding the room with light. It is run by a produce-obsessed cook who spent eighteen years at Hiramatsu, ten of them as head chef; his French cooking dazzles with modernity, precise and coherent, giving pride of place to excellent produce while embracing the seasons with great finesse. There is no à la carte: the menus evolve each day with the chef's mood. The name L'Archeste pays homage to Alain Senderens and his restaurant l'Archestrate, while also blending the ideas of artist, artisanal, orchestra and art. [1]
