This former cabaret with 1900’s decor updated by Franck Maillot, a well-known figure in Parisian nightlife, has welcomed chef Mathieu Poirier to its kitchens (ex-Pré Catelan and Royal Monceau). In his diligent “bistronomic” cuisine giving pride of place to seasonal produce, a new feature is an “apéro” formula dedicated to enticing little dishes for sharing : beetroot hummus, aubergine caviar, fish “rillettes”, melting cheese and tender cold meats. La Belle Epoque, 36 rue des Petits-Champs, Paris 2. www.labelleepoqueparis.fr
