In the vibrant heart of working-class Paris, where market gardeners, bourgeoisie and shopkeepers all lived and worked, Rue Bergère has a strong cultural and culinary heritage. At the corner of the peaceful Cité Rougemont, this is where Passionné restaurant has just opened its doors. Evolving throughout the day, it’s the ideal spot to sit and chat as the neighborhood comes alive at lunchtime.

When night falls, it plunges visitors into a hushed atmosphere for intimate dining. With interior designer Kuniko Takano at the helm, the décor shimmers with minimalism, with its midnight-blue mosaic bar, dark walls and sleek furniture and lighting. This refined cocoon also includes a table d’hôte facing the open kitchen, as well as a hidden table for 8 guests.
