Overview
Virtus is located in Paris's 12th arrondissement, at 29 rue de Cotte, Paris, 75012. The MICHELIN Guide lists the cuisine as modern and creative. The inspectors describe its dark-blue facade, vintage interior and Art déco style; the house is run by chef Frédéric Lorimier and Camille Gouyer. A few steps from the Marché d'Aligre, the beautiful dark-blue facade conceals a vintage interior flecked with Art déco touches — a décor signed by Argentinian architect Marcelo Joulia that evokes a Parisian apartment. It is the fiefdom of a talented couple: Frédéric Lorimier at the stoves and Camille Gouyer watching over the dining room with great gentleness and elegance. Having trained among the greats (notably with Arnaud Donckele in Saint-Tropez), the chef cooks seasonal produce to the millimetre, delivering flawless cooking and beautifully perfumed sauces. [1]
