Modern tavern · Paris 1st · LouvreLiquide
Between the Louvre and the Pont-Neuf, a contemporary tavern where chef Gaylord Merlet cooks with generosity: sharing plates, wines and cocktails.
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.

Awards & distinctions
« 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. »
