Les Tablettes de Jean-Louis Nomicos

Hands down one of the most cheerful gastronomic restaurants in Paris, here Chef Nomicos highlights his Mediterranean origins. Nomicos took over this 16th arrondissement landmark over seven years ago now, to the enduring delight of the difficult-too-please westside Parisians. A recent interior makeover has refreshed the space with air and light. The signature dish is Black Truffle Macaroni with Foie Gras. His menu is full of inspiration from his sunshine-filled Mediterranean roots, such as citrus caviar, lamb, fresh vegetables and foie gras. Of course all dishes are made with the finest French gourmet ingredients like ris de veau (veal sweet meats) a French delicacy. And the chef himself is friendly, generous and gregarious, characteristics you feel in his dishes, the ambiance of his restaurant and the good nature of his staff. Another rarity is that this gastronomic restaurant is open 7 days a week. Don't miss the Absinthe Granita dessert.
