Seven new Paris restaurants
Paris opened seven standout restaurants this spring — from live‑fire kitchens to inventive brasseries and chef‑driven concepts — and Food & Wine says these are the most anticipated openings of the season. ( )
Food & Wine ran a roundup titled “The 12 Most Anticipated Restaurant Openings of Spring 2026,” flagging a new live‑fire destination and a wave of chef‑driven brasseries as the season’s highlights. (foodandwine.com) ParisSelect’s March 19, 2026 list of “Seven new restaurants in Paris” names L’Envol, Osteria Brutto, Vif, Taco Mesa, Mousse, Public House and Sienne — and assigns each a short description and arrondissement. (parisselectbook.com) Taco Mesa is the taqueria from chef Beatriz Gonzalez, now housed at 40 rue du Faubourg‑Poissonnière in the 10th arrondissement after a 2021 pop‑up run, with the full restaurant opening on November 28, 2023 and a menu built around house‑made nixtamal tortillas. (lechef.com, tacomesa.fr) Public House — billed as a British‑style brasserie near Opéra — was opened under chef Calum Franklin and designer Laura Gonzalez at 21 rue Daunou in Paris’s 2nd arrondissement in early 2024, offering pies, tarts and a three‑level dining room that replaced the former American Dream site. (sortiraparis.com, parisjetaime.com) Vif, positioned on rue Oberkampf in the 11th arrondissement, markets itself as a grill‑forward neo‑bistro from restaurateur Geoffrey Gotfryd (with partner Alex Kiman), focusing on oriental‑style grilled meats served in sandwiches, bowls and plates. (sortiraparis.com, kissmychef.com) L’Envol — attributed to chef Thibaut Spiwack — operates on the rooftop of the Philharmonie de Paris at 221 avenue Jean‑Jaurès (19th arrondissement), opened in January 2024 and is presented as a panoramic, sustainability‑minded bistronomic table led by a Michelin‑starred chef. (leparisien.fr, restaurant-lenvol-philharmonie.fr) Osteria Brutto appears in the Quartier Latin at 15 rue Gracieuse (5th arrondissement) as a New‑York‑inspired Italian project from a group of cousins, with listings and local coverage showing regular service and early positive reviews. (sortiraparis.com, doitinparis.com) ParisSelect pairs “Mousse” and “Sienne” with Victor Mercier and a Petit Palais location in its roundup, but independent records show Mousse operating from 37 rue des Archives with its own menu listing, Victor Mercier remains the Michelin‑starred chef behind FIEF in the 11th, and Sienne is also known as the bistro of chef Baptiste Renouard located at 46 boulevard de la République in Saint‑Cloud.
