The story
Nolinski Le Restaurant sits in the heart of Paris, a short walk from both the Opéra Garnier and the Louvre. The dining room is a study in restrained elegance: Sienna yellow marble, honey-coloured wood, and soft golden lighting create an intimate, almost cocoon-like atmosphere. The space is part of the Nolinski Paris hotel, a member of the Evok Collection, and it offers a refined yet welcoming setting for lunch, dinner, or a drink at the adjoining Grand Salon bar.
The kitchen is led by chef Adam Bentalha, who describes his cooking as a “true ode to French gastronomy.” The menu honours classic techniques and carefully sourced ingredients, changing with the seasons. Dishes include a chilled tomato soup, duck foie gras, lobster ravioli, beef fillet, and sole meunière. Desserts lean towards the timeless: a Guanaja 70% chocolate mi-cuit, profiteroles, and a thin apple tart. A weekday "Semainier" menu is designed for those who want a refined meal served quickly.
The restaurant’s commitment to quality and consistency has earned it a place in the Michelin guide as a Recommended address. The recognition reflects the calm, professional service and the kitchen’s steady hand with classic French cuisine. Whether for a business lunch or a quiet dinner, Nolinski Le Restaurant delivers a distinctly Parisian experience without pretension.
The Grand Salon bar offers signature cocktails and mocktails in a lounge with a silver-leaf ceiling, open Tuesday through Saturday evenings. The restaurant and salon can also be privatised for events, from business lunches to private dinners, in a décor that is both chic and timeless.
