Le Grand Bain, Restaurant and bar in Belleville, France
Le Grand Bain is a restaurant and bar in Belleville, Paris, housed in a converted industrial space with distinctive architectural features. Exposed brick walls, concrete surfaces, and a central counter create an open layout where dining happens in full view of the kitchen.
The restaurant was founded by chef Ed Delling-Williams, who brought experience from London's St-John and Paris's Au Passage. He opened this venue in Belleville to create a new take on French cooking based on his background in both cities.
The kitchen showcases contemporary approaches to French cooking with dishes that change regularly based on available ingredients. Diners get to watch how the food comes together while sitting right at the counter, making the cooking process part of the meal.
The restaurant welcomes guests from Wednesday through Sunday starting at 7:00 PM and closes around 11:30 PM. Making a reservation beforehand is a good idea to secure a spot at the counter, especially during busy evenings.
The menu changes constantly based on what ingredients are in season and available at the moment. Regular visitors find something different every time they come back, making each visit its own experience.
