One star in the Guide MICHELIN · Madeleine
Contraste
A few steps from the Madeleine, Contraste stages the art of deliberate contrast: the instinctive, precise cuisine of chef Antoine Perchoc, where every dish plays with texture, temperature and flavour.
Awards & distinctions
« Contrasts are certainly not lacking at this address, reflected in a decor that blends the building's old-world charm with more contemporary touches. "Contraste" is also the name of a famous champagne cuvée by Anselme Selosse, found among other bottles on an impressively extensive wine list. Here, guests savour a contemporary, flavourful and finely crafted cuisine, built around beautiful seasonal produce and offered through blind tasting menus served in several courses. »
The Restaurant
The art of deliberate contrast
An intimate address in the heart of the 8th, where the pared-back setting leaves centre stage to the plate. Contraste is the play of opposites — hot and cold, crisp and melting, garden and sea — in the service of genuine emotion.
