The story
Becquetance offers a distinct take on the Parisian bistro through the collaboration of Anastasia Rohaut and Vincent Bielhy, who combine to deliver a menu driven by absolute creative freedom. Vincent, formerly an architect, applies a disciplined eye to the kitchen operations. Anastasia oversees the dining room rhythm, creating a partnership that treats bistronomy as a canvas rather than a formula. Le Fooding noted this dynamic during its listing, praising the pair for exploring flavors with such unbridled spirit yet maintaining impeccable standards.
The menu surprises with constructions built on contrasting textures and reimagined classics. Diners encounter intense smoky herring balanced by a cooling cod roe cream and sprigs of fresh dill. The kitchen substitutes lamb for pork in a rendition of txistorra, scattering the spicy sausage chunks atop a velvety squash velouté dotted with croutons. A vegetable frittata topped with sesame seeds provides a vegetarian option, served alongside a crisp salad of mixed greens.
Inside, the decor embraces simplicity through white-toned walls and blonde wood furnishings that amplify the natural light filling this corner bistro. The immaculate bar invites guests to choose wines poured fresh from the bottle, positioned near large windows that reveal the active kitchen. Finished dishes pass directly from the cook to the table, maintaining a rapid and transparent service style. The restaurant shifts between a prix-fixe lunch menu and an à la carte dinner format, ensuring flexible access to the same inventive dishes.
