Pantagruel Paris

Pantagruel sits at 10 Rue de Richelieu, a five-minute walk from the Palais Royal. This modern French restaurant holds one Michelin star.

The room runs smart, feeling more focused than the busy brasseries clustered along the nearby Rue de Rivoli. While many kitchens in the area lean on historical tropes to pull in tourists, this team favors a creative approach that prioritizes precision over tradition. You go here for the clarity of the cooking, which stands out as a sharp alternative to the sprawling, crowded menus common in this part of the city.
