Eclipses

The story

Eclipses by Cyril Choisne – Michelin-Recommended Modern Cuisine in Paris 7th

A quiet corner of Paris

On the rue de Beaune, a few steps from the Seine, Eclipses occupies a narrow, hushed space in the city’s antique-dealer quarter. The atmosphere is deliberately subdued — soft lighting, close tables, a sense of privacy that feels increasingly rare in central Paris. Chef and owner Cyril Choisne calls it a “feutré et apaisant” setting, designed for a privileged moment in complete discretion.

The chef and his kitchen

Cyril Choisne is both chef and proprietor, and his name appears on the door — Eclipses by Cyril Choisne. The restaurant’s modern cuisine is built around tasting menus that unfold in distinct “movements.” At lunch, a three-movement menu is offered at 49€. For dinner, the options expand: Quintessence (five movements, 94€) and Heptessence (seven movements, 134€). The website notes that more ambitious diners can compose a personalised menu from the à la carte, provided they request it at least a day in advance.

Recognition and atmosphere

Eclipses holds a Michelin Recommended award (2026), a distinction that aligns with the restaurant’s precise, ingredient-focused cooking. The space is small — the site mentions a limited number of covers — and service is attentive without being intrusive. It is a place for epicureans, as the restaurant describes itself, who value quiet concentration over spectacle.

The restaurant is also wheelchair accessible, with air conditioning, and can accommodate private parties. For those who wish to take a piece of the experience home, there is an attached pastry workshop and boutique.
