A Historic Parisian Locale’s Culinary Makeover Heats Up

Paris’s Latin Quarter has been injected with culinary buzz in recent years thanks to an influx of new restaurants that have opened shop. The momentum continues with the arrival of Brasserie des Prés, a bistro situated in the courtyard of Commerce Saint-Andrés, helmed by the chef trio Théophile Hauser-Peretti, Thibaut Darteyre, and Baptiste Zwygart. Conceived by B3 Designers and Dorénavant Studio, the restaurant’s visual language embodies the district’s artistic legacy—Hemingway and Sartre were once regulars at many of the historical cafes—through its flamboyant interiors marked by tasseled chairs and disco balls. The menu is an ode to the classics, from oeufs mimosa (deviled eggs) to jambon persillé (ham set in savory gelatin flecked with parsley) to foie gras terrine whose recipe comes from Théophile’s mother.
