Aspic, French restaurant in 9th arrondissement, Paris, France
Aspic is a restaurant in the 9th arrondissement with an open kitchen where the cooks serve guests directly at their tables. The kitchen sources free-range meats, line-caught fish, and local produce for each dish.
The restaurant opened in 2016 after chef Quentin Giroud changed careers from finance to cooking. He trained at Ferrandi Culinary School before opening this location.
The kitchen honors French cooking traditions by working with seasonal ingredients and presenting modern interpretations. The cooks present each dish at the table and explain how they prepared it.
The restaurant offers a seven-course menu and is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday. Plan your reservation well in advance, as tables fill up quickly during the dining season.
The dining format blends food with education, as the cooks explain their techniques and ingredients while serving. This makes the meal as much about learning as it is about eating.
