The story
Casa Pregonda brings relaxed Spanish cooking to the second arrondissement of Paris. Recognized by Le Fooding, the kitchen operates under Alexandre Giesbert alongside front-of-house manager Jonas Ayache. Valentine Dubois and Nicolas Hoyet shape the visual identity around a theme borrowed from a secluded Minorcan cove. Guests sit at white-tiled counters or large wooden tables beneath elegant chandeliers, watching the team prepare plates designed for sharing.
The kitchen serves coastal Spanish recipes refined for a modern counter service. A traditional tortilla de patatas arrives with optional add-ins like txistorra sausage or caviar, while small plates feature olive and anchovy gildas alongside breadcrumb-dusted Padrón peppers. The menu also highlights a deeply colored rice dish served with raw carabinero prawns, followed by a full paellero sized for two diners. Sweet endings lean toward a caramelized crème catalane scented with cinnamon and lemon.
White floor tiles meet expansive wooden surfaces to create a layout built for Mediterranean Spanish dining. Overhead glass pendants illuminate the central seating area, reinforcing a holiday rhythm that feels far removed from typical Parisian brasseries. Patrons can extend their stay onto the terrace when weather permits, maintaining the easy pace established inside. The design avoids excessive ornamentation, letting the food and steady service drive the evening.
