The story
Gare au Gorille is a bistronomic restaurant on Rue des Dames in the 17th arrondissement, a short walk from the Rome metro. The name may be playful, but the cooking is serious: the kitchen follows a market-driven approach, changing the entire menu every week. This is modern cuisine rooted in terroir, made in-house with fresh, seasonal products.
The restaurant describes its cuisine as "cuisine de marché" – a direct response to what is best at the markets each week. No two visits are the same, and the short, evolving carte reflects the rhythms of the seasons. The wine list is equally considered, featuring bottles from vignerons who "respectent le vivant" – producers who work with living soils and sustainable practices.
The interior is warm and understated, with a terrace for outdoor dining when the weather cooperates. Gare au Gorille also offers a private room and can host private parties, making it suitable for both intimate dinners and group celebrations. Free Wi-Fi is available. Open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday, closed on weekends.
Gare au Gorille's consistent quality and commitment to market-fresh modern cuisine earned it a place in the Michelin guide as a Recommended restaurant in 2026 – a nod to the kitchen's reliable execution and thoughtful sourcing.
