La Mondaine de Pariso: Parisian nightclub, hushed boudoir atmosphere
Parisian nightclub and boudoir atmosphere
Tiger prints on the floor, leopard-print velvet seating, subdued lighting and faceted baubles rising from the ceiling: Pariso's La Mondaine restaurant pulls out all the stops to warm up our chilly evenings.
Architect Daphné Desjeux has created a setting that she imagines as a fantasy: "that of a beautiful bourgeois woman who is a member of high society and organizes memorable receptions for her select friends."
The public strolls along two floors, between the baldaquins and the library, where musicians also enliven our evening, while the plates linger to tantalize our taste buds. Prawns flambé under the aniseed notes of pastis, while truffles invite themselves in with burrata or rigatoni. As for dessert, the exotic fruit platter should awaken your desires, like the passion fruit, which lives up to its name.
