Let’s enjoy a Greek aperitif at Eupatoria
No need to take a flight to the Cyclades for a true taste of the Mediterranean. Head over to Eupatoria, the new ultra-sunny spot bringing a Greek breeze to Ménilmontant. Here, dishes come to the center of the table and are shared without a second thought: ultra-creamy labneh, crispy zucchini fritters, aromatic meatballs, seasonal vegetables, and beautiful bottles of natural wine. Our new refuge to truly feel on vacation, even in the heart of Paris.
