The story

Dame Paris: Convivial Sharing Plates and a Michelin-Recommended Wine Cellar

Conviviality at the Heart

At Dame, the philosophy is simple: conviviality elevates gourmandise. This belief drives everything in the kitchen and behind the bar. The team works directly with French producers to build a menu that changes with the seasons, driven by the brigade’s inspirations. The result is modern cuisine expressed through plates meant for sharing—though going solo is always welcome. Whether it’s a weeknight dinner or a leisurely weekend meal, the atmosphere is warm and inviting.

A Wine List with a Story

The wine program at Dame began with a team road trip across France, visiting vineyards and meeting growers in every corner of the country. Those encounters shaped the core of a list that now features over 120 references, all carefully selected from France’s major wine regions. The goal was always accessibility without sacrificing quality. A crowdfunding campaign helped bring the dream cellar to life, and each bottle comes with a story of terroir and passion. The restaurant’s overall approach has been awarded a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026.

Groove on Vinyl

Dame’s identity extends to its soundtrack. The musical direction is built around the notion of “groove,” with elegant harmonies from instruments like the Rhodes, Hammond, and Moog Sub37. Two pairs of vintage KEF speakers from the 70s and 80s deliver the sound, and as the evening progresses, a Mitsubishi turntable spins vinyl to keep the energy flowing. The space also lends itself to private events, from cocktail receptions to seated dinners, all imbued with the same convivial spirit.

This is modern cuisine rooted in pleasure, generosity, and a deep respect for the people who produce the food and wine. At Dame, every detail is designed to make you feel at home.
