The story
Panorama bistro in Paris reflects the backgrounds of two former professionals who recently changed careers. Éric Sagne traded tournament poker for wine selection while Laurie Hernandez left communications to run the floor and kitchen. Their relocation across the ring road into Romainville marked a deliberate reset. Recognition from Le Fooding for 2026 confirms how smoothly the transition settled into daily practice.
The daytime menu leans heavily on roasted produce guided by a traditional bistro technique, moving at a galloping pace during lunch hours. Grilled zucchini rests on a base of smoked ricotta cream finished with fresh dill. Eggplant arrives glazed in a sharp sambal chili sauce alongside toasted quinoa and fried onions. Evening service shifts toward smaller formats like black garlic aioli paired with fried artichokes or slow-roasted pork belly served with homemade tomato relish.
A glass ceiling floods the dining room with steady daylight while flowery wallpaper lines the walls. Raised beds of herbs and leafy greens sit just outside the back door. Éric stocks the shelves with wild wines that carry enough structure to match the kitchen’s heat. Natural ferments and unfiltered reds move easily alongside the neighborhood bistro pace.
