The story
On Paris’s elegant Avenue Victor-Hugo, Prunier has long been synonymous with exceptional caviar. The restaurant brings the house’s century-old expertise to the table in a refined seafood setting. Under the culinary direction of Yannick Alleno, the kitchen is now led by chef Hendry Angwe Mezah, whose arrival marks a new chapter for this address.
The menu naturally centres on the sea: pristine oysters, delicate shellfish, and, of course, Prunier’s own caviar — from the classic Baeri Tradition to the more complex Osciètre Heritage. Dishes are precise, ingredient-driven, and quietly luxurious. The dining room, with its outdoor seating and views over the avenue, offers a setting that is both polished and welcoming.
Prunier also serves a weekend brunch, making it a destination for leisurely seafood lunches as well as formal dinners. The wine list is thoughtfully paired, and cocktails are available for those who prefer something lighter.
The restaurant’s recognition by the Michelin guide as a Recommended address in 2026 reflects the consistency and ambition of the team. Whether for a full tasting menu or a simple plate of caviar with blinis, Prunier remains a benchmark for seafood in Paris.
