Few Parisian spots are quite as enchanting as the Buttes-Chaumont park. Say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the capital: once you pass through the grand gates, the frenetic daily grind hits pause so you can savor the peaceful charm of its lake and verdant hills. An atmosphere that's both serene and utterly unique, where Ora Farmhouse, the new restaurant that opened its doors at the Lake Pavilion at the end of May, fits in beautifully. A name that might ring a bell, since before revealing itself in this refreshed version, the restaurant with its distinctive concept was already a beloved fixture in the 10th arrondissement.

Between Art and Gastronomy
Open from lunch through dinner, and even for Sunday brunch, Ora Farmhouse combines unique flavors with artistic presentation, offering its guests a memorable experience. Here, we celebrate the earth, life and the cycles of nature. Right in front of us at midday, dishes as bold as they are delicious like the creamy almond starter, or tender eggplants in a mille-feuille that you could happily eat endlessly as a main course. We're also happily tempted by dishes to enjoy on the go, at the level of the Guingette, located near the restaurant's entrance.

In the evening, two options await you: choosing dishes from the menu, or trying an experience unique to Ora. The concept? Dishes are plated by the various servers and the chef in person, right at your table. Roasted cauliflower, radish tart with candied onions, stuffed artichoke hearts, and golden vegetable pancakes make up the main elements of this hearty spread. And everything is accompanied by cocktails with summery names, timeless or seasonal. While "Garden Rosé" brings us the refreshing notes of lime, ginger liqueur and vodka, "Summer Orchard" surprises with fruity flavors, featuring apricot juice and peach purée. Alcohol-free, "Red Garden" is perfectly refreshing with its homemade hibiscus juice, its 0% alcohol ginger liqueur, the juice oflemon and basil.
Promoting the preservation of nature
In this bright and welcoming place, nature reigns supreme and respect for the environment is the main value. Water and energy are conserved as much as possible, while all parts of food are used in the kitchen or in the vegetable garden to avoid any waste. Like a true country house where life is good, the establishment with its wooden, colorful and floral decoration designed by Cordelia de Castellane and Sanaz Degany, blends gently into a green landscape of 25 hectares. Big news: Ora has founded the Ora Social Club with events, creative workshops and karaoke nights that take place every week.
Whether you're settled in the main dining room or on one of the terraces surrounding the estate, you'll be swept away by a parade of flavors in a sumptuous setting, already thinking about your next visit.
