Recoin

Tucked away in the Marais, Recoin is a neighbourhood bistrot serving a curated menu that balances polished technique with approachable, flavourful dishes. Chef Julie Della Faille, a self-taught talent with a background in fashion design, brings a creative, modern touch to classic French preparations.

The restaurant has a relaxed yet stylish vibe, with small, closely spaced tables, a local and familiar crowd, and a terrace that welcomes dogs. Seasonal starters like thinly sliced roast pork, panzanella with summer tomatoes and basil, blini with smoked herring, and tempura of cuttlefish demonstrate the kitchen’s inventive approach. A well-chosen selection of natural wines and inventive cocktails, including a chipotle-spiced margarita, complements the food.
