Prosper et Fortunée

Latin Quarter


Eric Lévy's 20-seat premises is effectively a clandestine supper club where you can watch the chef prepare daily changing dishes (raw mackerel with yuzu and lemon confit; prime fillet with black radish) using mostly organic premium produce in his open kitchen. Dinner kicks off at a fixed time (8.30pm); reservations essential.
