The story
On rue Faidherbe in the 11th arrondissement, Vaisseau has earned a Michelin star for its confident, high-quality cooking. The restaurant keeps things refreshingly direct: no overblown descriptions, just a series of tasting menus with names that hint at a sense of humour.
Lunch brings the “Quoi” menu at €60, with a matching drinks pairing at €40. Dinner offers two choices: the “N’importe quoi” (€120, pairing €80) and the more extensive “Grand n’importe quoi” (€180, pairing €100). The names – “What”, “Anything”, “Big Anything” – suggest a kitchen that values freedom and surprise over rigid formality. Each menu is a set sequence, letting the chef decide the arc of the meal.
Vaisseau’s wine list is notably interesting, with pairings designed to complement each course. The dining room is air-conditioned and wheelchair accessible, making it a comfortable space for any guest. Open for dinner Monday to Friday from 19:30, and for lunch Wednesday to Friday from 12:00.
