Faubourg Daimant Paris

Faubourg Daimant is on Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, a twenty-minute walk from the Opéra Garnier. It serves contemporary French cuisine in a room that runs smart and elegant. The venue holds a discovery gem award from La Liste.

Most classic French tables in this part of the city rely on the weight of tradition to draw a crowd, but Faubourg Daimant ignores the stuffiness often found near the Musée du Louvre. It is a more nimble version of the neighbourhood’s older dining rooms, stripping back the formality without sacrificing the discipline of the kitchen. While nearby venues bank on their history, this one focuses on the present, making it the better choice for those tired of the same staid menus found across the surrounding districts.
