We're going to see the exhibition of our favorite artist Kova!

A versatile artist who has dabbled in drawing, painting, engraving, and now ceramics, Kova unveils one of her most personal projects. With Excessively Savory, she transforms the word umami from its culinary meaning into a playground exploring freedom, desire, pleasure, and boundaries. Balancing control and exuberance, her colorful and organic works create a dialogue between materials and techniques in a single instinctive breath.

Let's treat ourselves to a dream dinner with an incredible view of Paris

At 93, rue Vieille-du-Temple, just hop into an elevator to discover this hidden rooftop at the top of the Marais boasting an absolutely stunning 360° view and a hanging garden vibe drenched in soft light. The experience is as much about the view as it is about the food on your plate: miso eggplants, grilled octopus, confit lamb, and a bread pudding that warms the heart. Everything is cooked right before your eyes, over a fire, in a open kitchen that crackles like a chic campfire. You go up to be amazed, you stay to share, toast, and enjoy. It’s the kind of place you definitely don't want to make too much noise about. Oops, too late.
