In the heart of Saint-Germain des Pr\u00e8s, La M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e is a well-known address for politicians, artists and lovers of good food. The place is an institution. An opportunity to discover refined cuisine in an incredible setting. <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

La M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e is a place that most Parisians don’t think much of, yet it’s a restaurant that’s well worth the detour… Since 1942, La M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e has been a famous landmark of Parisian life, located opposite the Od\u00e9on theater, a stone’s throw from the Luxembourg Gardens and the Senate. The restaurant has always attracted artists and intellectuals. In a personalized decor designed by Christian B\u00e9rard and Marcel Vert\u00e8s, famous illustrators. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span>Established between the Saint Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s district, a mecca for Parisian cultural life, and the Od\u00e9on district, the restaurant has been welcoming the greatest personalities in French and international literature, politics, cinema and music for over seventy years. This was also the case on the day of my visit. Two former ministers were having lunch at two tables with a famous actress. A landmark for the area’s major publishing houses, the restaurant hosts the annual Prix M\u00e9dicis, awarded in its private salons. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span>The restaurant offers a light, refined menu, prepared using only the freshest ingredients. Fish dishes, caught on the west coast of France, mainly in Vend\u00e9e, Brittany and Normandy, such as the a\u00efoli de Saint Pierre de petite p\u00eache, scallops and their mustardy celery pur\u00e9e, or oyster shoals will delight the taste buds of seafood lovers. The famous Bouillabaisse and its ephemeral foam revisited by the chef of La M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Scallops<\/a>

The kitchens are run by the talented Denis Rippa, who works the fish with excellence. A La M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e loyalist for the past ten years, he is also the winner of the 58th Prix Prosper Montagn\u00e9 2008 and a member of the Acad\u00e9mie Culinaire de France. A discreet chef with a sharp career path, Denis Rippa worked in the kitchens of L’Ambroisie before joining the Taillevent restaurant team. Every dish he prepares is “homemade”, with products sourced from small-scale producers. Among others, he has forged links with several oyster farmers to ensure the best products (Gillardeau, Papin, Prat-Ar-Coum). For meats, the chef buys from Hugo Desnoyer, a highly reputed traditional Parisian butcher. The \u00e0 la carte menu includes Foie de veau de lait and filet de Boeuf du Charolais… <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jean Cocteau was one of the place’s first and most fervent regulars. His imprint can still be seen today. The eminent filmmaker and cartoonist designed the logo and map. As for the impressive murals that give La M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e its charm, they were created by Christian B\u00e9rard and Marcel Vert\u00e8s. The room is decorated in a classic yet resolutely contemporary style. Warm colors evoke the softness and calm of the southern coastline; a breeze of serenity blows through the veranda, the main dining room and the terrace. Upstairs, the warm and inviting private lounges are perfect for exclusive lunches and dinners. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
