French Bistro,

Japanese Flavours

Occupying the space that once housed one of the most

famous traditional French restaurants in Paris, Pierre au Palais

Royal, Zebulon is a good-looking new bistro with two dining

rooms (one overlooks Rue de Richelieu, the other quieter

one Rue de Montpensier) featuring low lighting, oak parquet

floors and stone-grey walls. Chef Yannick Lahopgnou recently

returned to Paris after working in Osaka, and this experience

in Japan comes across in both the elegant minimalism of

his plating and a certain Zen gastronomic logic in terms of

flavours and textures. Stopping by on a rainy night after a

long day at the Louvre, this is an ideal address for lunch or

dinner after a museum visit, we began the 45-euro prix-fixe

menu with two superb starters, sea bream with persimmon,

endive and grilled sesame and a fried egg with cauliflower,

shallots and Cecina, the preserved Spanish beef. Next an

excellent preparation of turbot with fennel and nori, the

Japanese seaweed, and luscious pork belly with rutabaga

and cinnamon-spiced apples. Desserts were excellent, too,

including a sublime chocolate tart with yuzu jam and pepper

ice-cream and honey-poached pears with almonds and

lemon-marjoram ice-cream. – A.L.
