The story
At Oxte in Paris’s 17th arrondissement, chefs Kike Casarrubias and Mon Estrada offer a proposition of high contemporary cuisine that fuses Mexican roots with French technique. Their cooking is built from memory: each dish tells a story inspired by the chefs’ own backgrounds and their journey through French haute gastronomy. The result is an intimate, emotional experience that is both elegant and precise.
The restaurant’s philosophy is clear: “Notre cuisine naît de ce que nous avons vécu et de ce que nous souhaitons partager.” For Casarrubias and Estrada, cuisine is born from the product, from respect for origin, and from the emotion that memories awaken. They bring their own paths, cultures, and sensibilities together, creating a living gastronomic proposition where tradition and creativity dialogue naturally. The aim is not just to surprise, but to move—to awaken something in the guest, to create a memory, to leave an imprint.
This deeply personal approach to Mexican cuisine earned Oxte a Michelin star in 2026, a recognition of the high-quality cooking and the emotional resonance of the dining experience. The restaurant’s intimate setting allows the chefs’ vision to shine, making every meal a precise, heartfelt encounter with their shared heritage.
