Recently refurbished, the former ‘auberge-style’ Epi Dupin has been resurrected with contemporary design and decoration without in any way losing that friendly atmosphere that has become its trademark.

Whitewashed beams, contemporary black light fittings, discreet wine cabinet - all render the dining room a warm and welcoming place. And the terrace, in a quiet secluded street, gives a holiday atmosphere where you can appreciate the charm of excellent cuisine spent with that special person, or in larger groups.

François Pasteau, a former pupil of the Ferrandi school, has considerably broadened his experience over the years. Having worked in small and large establishments, both in France and abroad, he was one of the first to open a gastronomic bistro-style restaurant in Paris.

Apart from his creative mind, the secret of François Pasteau’s seductive cuisine lies above all in his search for freshness and seasonality during his twice weekly visits to the market, which ensure originality and constant change in the menu.

The specialised press call it ‘one of the worst kept secrets in the area’ – and with good reason.
The ‘bistronomic’ is a favourite haunt of the local inhabitants but also welcomes an extremely cosmopolitan clientele.
But it is in no way a standard tourist trap. Be they American or Japanese, Brazilian or Brits, none of them arrives here by luck - they have all received the good news by word of mouth before getting to Paris.

The restaurant welcomes them all as if they were locals, in French, English or Japanese.
Loïc Ferry and his team, who manage the dining room, will get your mouth watering as they describe each dish for you, and ensure that your experience of the Epi Dupin is a memorable one.

With its cosy, friendly, atmosphere and original cuisine, allied to that feeling that no-one else will find the place, it is a very special environment for those who love good cooking.
