Verjus

Top choice in Paris


Opened by American duo Braden Perkins and Laura Adrian, Verjus was born out of their former clandestine supper club, the Hidden Kitchen. The restaurant builds on that tradition, offering a chance to sample some excellent, creative cuisine in a casual space. The tasting menu is a series of small plates, using ingredients sourced straight from producers. Reserve well in advance.

If you're just after an aperitif or a prelude to dinner, the downstairs Verjus Bar à Vins serves a handful of charcuterie and cheese plates. For lunch or a more casual dinner, don't miss nearby Ellsworth, Verjus' sister restaurant.
