The story

Pantagruel – Modern Cuisine by Chef Jason Gouzy in Paris | Michelin Star

A Gastronomic Address on Rue de Richelieu

In the heart of Paris, just steps from the Comédie-Française, Pantagruel brings a bold, generous vision of modern cuisine to life. Chef Jason Gouzy, who earned a Michelin star in 2021, leads the kitchen with a philosophy built on abundance and pleasure. Every chapter of his menu unfolds in three complementary plates – a playful yet precise exercise in balance that turns each meal into a progressive discovery.

The Chef and His Approach

Jason Gouzy’s cooking is described as gourmande et opulente. That generosity is evident from the first bite. A lunch menu at €65 offers an accessible entry point, while the evening’s Gargamelle menu (five chapters, €135) and the more extensive Pantagruel menu (six chapters, €185) showcase the full breadth of his technique. Recent examples include a Pantagruelic egg with caviar and rice, garden peas with shellfish and morels, and a culoiseau pullet with octopus and white asparagus. Seasonal variations keep the experience anchored to the freshest produce.

The Cellar

Wine is taken as seriously as the food. Pantagruel’s cellar holds over 500 references from all major French regions – Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Loire, the Rhône, and beyond. The list prioritises growers and terroir, placing artisan winemakers alongside prestigious names. Pairing options range from three to six glasses, with a soft-drink alternative also available.

Michelin Star in Central Paris

The Michelin star recognises a kitchen that delivers “high quality cooking” with consistency and flair. At Pantagruel, that quality manifests in layered flavours, precise execution, and a dining room that balances formality with genuine warmth. The result is a modern cuisine experience that feels both refined and deeply satisfying.
