Comice, Paris – Modern French Cuisine with a Michelin Star

Comice in the 16th Arrondissement

Comice is a Michelin-starred restaurant in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, serving contemporary French cuisine built around the best of each season. Chef Noam Gedalof and sommelier Etheliya Hananova – husband and wife, chef and sommelier – pour more than thirty years of combined experience from California, New York, Montreal, and Paris into every detail. Their approach is product-driven, letting ingredients speak while refined technique adds depth.

Food, Wine, and a Signature Soufflé

The menu changes with the seasons and is offered both as a tasting menu and à la carte – a recent addition that gives guests more flexibility. A chocolate soufflé, created in collaboration with author and pastry expert David Lebovitz, has become a signature. The wine list is equally intentional, focused on grower-producers and small artisan vignerons, reflecting Etheliya Hananova’s deep expertise.

The Dining Experience

The atmosphere is elegant without being stiff. There is no formal dress code; business-casual or elegant attire fits naturally, and no jacket is required. The kitchen can adapt to pescatarian, lacto-ovo vegetarian, and gluten-free diets with advance notice, though the reliance on butter means vegan options are not available. Children are welcome, but there is no separate menu for them.

Comice earned its Michelin star for high quality cooking, a recognition that aligns with the precision and care evident in every dish. The restaurant has also been highlighted by The New York Times, Eater, Condé Nast Traveler, Le Fooding, and numerous other guides and publications – a testament to its place in Paris’s Modern Cuisine landscape.
