FRENCHIE

Having transformed a tiny laneway in Paris’s 2nd district into a hidden foodie haven, chef G régory Marchand is the talent behind Frenchie restaurant, wine bar & takeaway cafe.

The award-winning Frenchie is one of the most in-demand restaurants in Paris for its simple yet avoursome seasonal Franco-Italian cuisine, and its stylish and cosy Brooklynstyle interiors.
