We celebrate the holidays and offer a meal with the Grand Solidarity Feast of Refugee Food

We kick off the week in style with a grand solidarity feast at Ground Control in partnership with Refugee Food. The concept? For every meal purchased, one is funded for a person in great need, who is invited for free. A big table of 200 people gathers everyone around a seasonal meal where sharing, togetherness, and community are the key words. What’s on the menu this time? Pasta and ravioli galore, all for just €35, which includes starter, main course, dessert, and a drink to enjoy with it.

Let’s enjoy an incredible journey to Italy at Marcello

Since the beginning of the school year, the chef Flora Mikula has been creating magic at Marcello, an incredible hidden Italian restaurant at the bottom of a staircase, nestled in a charming little courtyard. And let me tell you, the menu she offers is more than worthy of this lovely spot. To start, you’ll indulge in a simply magical vitello tonnato or smoked burrata. As for the main dish, how can you resist the ricotta, lemon, and white truffle ravioli? And for dessert, if you have plenty of...Chance, the pistachio tiramisu, undoubtedly the best we’ve ever had, will be on today’s menu. If not, no worries, we can go for the drool-worthy profiteroles or the reliable panna cotta. Avanti!

We discover a show that's as musical as it is moving at the Cabaret Sauvage

Created and staged by Méziane Azaïche – founder of the Cabaret Sauvage – the musical show Don’t Free Me, I’ve Got This ! shines a light on the unique experiences of Maghrebian immigrant women in France. Through music that has accompanied several generations on both sides of the Mediterranean, performed by an orchestra and three singers, we reflect on the struggles for women’s emancipation, linked to the battles against racism and discrimination faced by immigrants in France. This show is a must-see (absolutely) at the Cabaret Sauvage, with 5 exceptional dates !
