A famous Parisian club opened barely 10 years ago, Le Silencio has treated itself to a restaurant on the chic Left Bank at the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. This inviting address paying tribute to taste, partying and art consists of a restaurant, bar and movie lounge, elegantly decorated by the well-known pair of interior architects Studio KO. The kitchens are entrusted to star-rated chef Guillaume Sanchez, a fervent defender of responsible gastronomy, who proposes an anti-conformist bistro menu re-inventing classics of the genre with real talent.
