Dandelion, Restaurant in the 20th arrondissement, Paris, France
Dandelion is a small restaurant in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, with bare walls, vintage 1970s lights, and Baumann-style chairs. The seasonal menu relies on fresh produce sourced from local markets each morning.
The restaurant was opened by Morgane Souris and Antoine Villard, who had previously worked at well-known Paris addresses including Septime and Double Dragon. It has since become a steady presence in the neighborhood.
The restaurant fills up quickly in the evenings, especially on weekends, so booking ahead is a good idea. It sits near parks and small shops in the 20th arrondissement, making it easy to combine with a walk through the area.
The name Dandelion comes from a French expression referring to the jagged shape of the plant's leaves, said to resemble lion's teeth. The menu features veal sweetbreads cooked on a barbecue, which gives them a slight caramel note that sets them apart from more standard preparations.
