The story
On the lively rue Amelot, a street that has become a magnet for Parisian food lovers, Biondi stakes its claim with a dark, smoky allure. The name is a nod to an Argentine clown, a playful wink to the Cirque d’Hiver just steps away. Inside, the spirit of Buenos Aires meets the best of French produce – a bridge between two worlds, built over a charcoal grill.
The kitchen works with the same charcoal used in Argentina, firing up cuts of exceptional French meat. The result is precise, delicate plates that carry the deep, earthy flavour of the embers. This is not a simple steakhouse; the cooking shows restraint and technique, turning local ingredients into something that feels both familiar and unexpected. The menu changes regularly, with a lunch formule offering two starters, two mains and a dessert – a smart, affordable way to experience the kitchen’s range.
Biondi’s confident, unfussy cooking earned it a place in the Michelin guide as a Recommended restaurant in 2026. It’s a fitting recognition for a place that channels the energy of Argentine grilling through the lens of French bistronomy, without ever losing its sense of place – or its sense of humour.
