Contemporary Lebanese on rue de la Banque, Liza Asseily's Beirut-Paris dialogue
Manoj Sharma's modern Indian on rue de Choiseul, the 2e room that finally read Indian cooking as a chef's cuisine.
Paris was for years the European capital with the weakest fine-dining Indian scene, bookings defaulted to London, Antwerp, even Brussels. Manoj Sharma (Delhi-born, Vineet Bhatia at Rasoi London, Cinnamon Club, Amaya) opened Jugaad on rue de Choiseul a stone's throw from the Opéra-Comique to fix that. The room reads contemporary not folkloric: khaki walls, fuchsia mouldings, multicoloured wicker, an open tandoor visible from the dining room. The cooking is the regional-modern register, chicken tikka with caramelised tomato, sea bream in banana leaf, gulab jamun cheesecake, backed by Nicolas Escalpez and Alexandre Guillet. Le Fooding listed; GaultMillau covered. The Indian-room reference for the audience that books in central Paris.
Sharma's other rooms, Sharma Ji (15e), Amanie, sit outside our chapter. Jugaad is the in-chapter pick.
