Paris spring openings + vlog
Paris is rolling out seven must‑visit restaurant openings in April — from inventive bistros to worldly, seasonal kitchens — just in time for spring dining pilgrimages. A fresh family travel vlog, published Mar. 23, captures springtime Paris tips, hidden bakeries and off‑beat neighborhood gems that pair well with those new openings. (sortiraparis.com) (youtube.com)
Slak has imported Istanbul’s cult “Islak” (wet) burger to a compact Pigalle counter, where the menu centers on tantuni and the steamed tomato‑sauced burger that’s already trending on French food sites. (slakparis.fr (slakparis.fr); lebonbon.fr (en.lebonbon.fr)) Masaikuta is the new solo project from Chef Masahide Ikuta in Paris’s 11th arrondissement, billed as a French‑Japanese tasting‑menu spot that draws on his time with Bruno Verjus and Stéphane Jégo and has been profiled by the Michelin Guide for its seafood‑forward, multi‑course service. (guide.michelin.com (guide.michelin.com); sortiraparis.com (sortiraparis.com)) Leriche, led by Jean‑Rony Leriche near the Arc de Triomphe, presents a gastronomic Caribbean menu built around boucanage (traditional smoking) and offers daytime/set menus with evening multi‑course options in the €49–€79 range per reviews and listings. (gaultmillau.com (fr.gaultmillau.com); leriche-restaurant.fr (leriche-restaurant.fr)) The Mar. 23 family travel vlog (19:17) comes from Darren Yee’s YeeFit/Yee Fit Adventures channel and strings together six days of Paris footage that specifically highlights Montmartre, “hidden” bakeries and off‑beat neighborhood stops useful for pairing daytime wandering with evening reservations. (YouTube (youtube.com); Darren Yee channel (youtube.com)) Practical booking signals: Masaikuta is receiving early press attention as a tasting‑menu house where reservations are strongly advised, Slak operates as a counter/delivery‑friendly outlet visible on platforms like Uber Eats, and Leriche accepts bookings through TheFork — all patterns reported in local guides and platforms.
