Welcome to his Majesté’s place! That’s Fabien Majesté, who learned the ropes under Hélène Darroze before royally chilling in the Pyrenees countryside. His palace? A wine-bar-esque eatery with bright red banquettes, where you can savor thoughtfully sourced eats alongside small shared plates or cheese and charcuterie boards. For our last lunch there, we opted for a hearty sandwich made with herb-roasted chicken from the Ferme Marcotte, wrapped up in brioche bun from La Boulange, with slow-roasted vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, pepper, garlic), rosemary mayonnaise and mizuna, chosen over a pastrami, pickled red cabbage and crispy onion sandwich – all of which came with a side of golden fries and sriracha mayonnaise for dipping. Still hungry after all that? We suggest you opt for a slice of the incredible spiced walnut carrot cake. And we’ll be back for tapas, like trout gravlax with makrut lime, pink peppercorns and dill, risotto croquettes, kohlrabi carpaccio or even a plate of local cheeses. // Loulou Pic
