The Restaurant

A modern tavern

A few steps from the Louvre and the Pont-Neuf, Liquide reinvents the art of the table and celebrates indulgence. Between the authenticity of a tavern and a resolutely contemporary vision, a generous cuisine and large cuts to share. Three spaces: the main dining room, facing the open kitchen; the communal table, in front of the wine cellar; and La Succursale at the back, with its own bar.

« Hats off to this quirky, playful decor: a horn chandelier, armchairs, sofas, a 12-metre-long marble communal table designed by Starck... A trendy, convivial atmosphere for sitting down with friends, sharing plates, and sampling the cocktails and fine bottles. At this address created by Matthias Marc, variety and creativity converge on the plate. »
