Qui Plume la Lune: Michelin-Starred Modern Cuisine in Paris, Chef Jacky Ribault

Qui Plume la Lune, Paris

Named after a 1998 film that moved its chef, Qui Plume la Lune opened on rue Amelot a little over a decade ago. Chef Jacky Ribault quickly earned a Michelin star for his restaurant, a recognition that has been maintained as the house evolves without losing its passion.

The restaurant's Modern Cuisine is built around seasonal ingredients and intense flavors. Menus are offered as "Improvisations" — from the lunch-only Théodore (amuse-bouches, starter and main or main and dessert, mignardises) to the more extensive Lucie of six courses, or the Claude M. built around exceptional products. A cheese platter and wine pairings are available.

The space itself is split into two distinct rooms. The mineral room uses stone, wood and polished concrete. The botanical room features a train-carriage floor, greenery, textured walls and vibrant colors. Both can be privatized for events. The building has history: a wall in the dining room was built with stones from the Bastille.

Ribault, originally from Brittany, also opened a second Michelin-starred restaurant, L’Ours in Vincennes. At Qui Plume la Lune, the kitchen — under executive chef Jean-François Rizet — continues to deliver a subtle, authentic expression of Modern Cuisine. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and offers vegetarian options.
