Summary: A discreet spot with varied plates.
Located in a peaceful neighborhood, Paris Méditerranée is a testament to understated excellence. For years, this restaurant has been celebrated for its consistency and simplicity in presenting a variety of dishes that draw on diverse influences. The menu features creations like croquettes made with blood sausage, celery rémoulade with curry-flavored granny apples, marbled fish of the day cooked a la plancha, sautéed gnocchi with artichokes, and a butternut cream sauce, as well as a crème brûlée infused with grapefruit and candied ginger. The service is well-coordinated, contributing to the sustained local ambiance that guests have come to love. While the regional wine cellar isn't extensively commented upon, and the by-the-glass options may be limited, the overall experience at Paris Méditerranée is enriched by its connection to local heritage. The establishment's name is a nod to Brassens, a native of Sète, reflecting the chef's Parisian roots and his wife's local origins. The chef's approach to reinventing local recipes is influenced by his whims and the fresh catch of the day. Additionally, the nearby tapas bar, Le Barbu, which shares an owner with Paris Méditerranée, comes highly recommended for those looking to extend their culinary journey.
