The story

Restaurant des Grands Boulevards, Paris – Chef Giovanni Passerini's French-Italian Cuisine

Tucked away from the bustle of the Boulevard Poissonnière, Restaurant des Grands Boulevards sits within the Grands Boulevards Experimental hotel, a serene 18th-century building designed by Dorothée Meilichzon. On the ground floor, the dining room unfolds under a grand glass roof that opens in fine weather, embracing a landscaped courtyard and a central bar. The atmosphere balances indoor elegance with an open-air lightness.

The menu is conceived by Giovanni Passerini, a chef described by the house as a beloved figure of the new Parisian gastronomic scene. He revisits the great classics of French-Italian country cooking, sourcing the best products for dishes that feel both grounded and refined. The kitchen’s Italian-inspired approach extends to a signature Sunday brunch, adding a relaxed rhythm to the week.

The restaurant has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, a recognition that aligns with its steady, ingredient-driven cooking. Whether for lunch or dinner, the food here speaks clearly of its roots – modern French and Italian cuisines woven together with restraint and confidence.

With its glass-roofed setting, attentive table service, and an interesting wine list, Restaurant des Grands Boulevards offers a meal that feels effortlessly Parisian, yet quietly original.
