The heady plans
The Nuit Blanche, precisely, those who make the gastronomic news of this fall, also explored it in 2011, by investing an ostentatious jewelry store and saturating its interior with a thick fog and projection on its facade of lightning and low frequency sounds. Those whose agency’s 3 letters evoke their wish to break with the received ideas, the expectations and the trend: CUT Architectures.
Since 2005, Yann Martin and Benjamin Clarens have been moving forward together, complementary to the point of fusion, which they illustrate very well through the gourmet restaurant Ōrtensia – Paris XVI, whose challenge was to work an atmosphere between Japanese and French culture, as much in the interior architecture as in the plate.
It is the talent of the discreet chef Terumitsu Saito, with his precise, subtle and poetic dishes, that the architecture and design studio has chosen to transpose into a refined and careful décor, between claustras and natural oak furniture, felted fabric curtains, neutral and warm tones, and textured clay plaster.
Behind the large glass façade, lined with a filter echoing a forest of thin oak trunks, the ōrtensia tables nestle in an intimate setting. All in curves, the volumes of the restaurant are softened to envelop the tasting. Soft leather benches highlighted with ribbons of indirect light wrap around walls clad in arakabe – a Japanese cob – that unravel on a soft, subtly quilted carpet surface.
Similarly, the mastery of the food made at ōrtensia is reflected in the introduction of contemporary details with clean, neat materials. Suspended in the space and as a focal point on the tables, futuristic lighting elements bring an unexpected touch. The sideboard and the checkroom disappear in a treatment of fine curved blades of brushed stainless steel while the mirrors in the upper part chisel the space, like the precise, exquisite, light and fresh plates.
A delicacy that suits the district, when on the opposite side of the street, rue Faidherbe – Paris XI, it is the architectural firm Mur.Mur (Benoît Huen & Lucie Rosenblatt) that signs the restaurant Rhézome hosting young chefs in residence, around a reasoned and responsible cuisine.
Indeed, with chefs and producers in residence, participatory cooking in collaboration with associations and local residents, Rhézome is a place for experimentation and the implementation of a holistic vision of food, social and supportive, rich in taste as well as responsible and sustainable.
The idea was born in the mind of philosophy professor, gallery owner, communicator and entrepreneur Jean-François Pascal during the health crisis: that restaurants should no longer be just places to eat, but places to highlight a virtuous ecosystem, bringing together producers, chefs and consumers through a positive exchange rooted in the local area.
And it is a twenty-year-old chef, Alice Arnoux (La Marine**, Noma***, Birkemosegaard, organic farm, The Carousel, Fulgurances l’Adresse and Dame Jane) who opens the ball of residences, letting us glimpse the promise of Shawanmsuhi vegetable charcuterie and vacation kombuchas, of clear Paimpol consommé, of baker’s bread with worked butter, of the day’s catch with smoked sabayon, rillettes…
Beautiful arches, beautiful plates, it’s fall, but it’s time to prepare for winter!
