Zébulon: a new restaurant in the Palais Royal district
Before or after your walk in the Palais Royal district (read our article), take a detour down Rue de Richelieu and stop in at number 10, Zébulon. Its understated façade painted in elegant colors draws your gaze and invites you to step inside. The tasteful décor was designed by a talented interior designer and is a blend of tradition and modernity. It reflects the very soul of the restaurant, with its wine cellar ambiance, open-plan kitchen and bar featuring prominently. This Nordic-inspired décor is open, airy, charming and without pretension, with plenty of space between each table.
In the kitchen, a cosmopolitan team of chefs busily practices its craft before our eyes. The team is overseen by Yannick Lahopgnou. Yannick Lahopgnou began his career at the Lutetia, followed by a stint at the Michelin-starred restaurant La Réserve de Beaulieu in Beaulieu-sur-Mer. He then spent two years learning the secrets of cooking fish in the Michelin-starred restaurant Unisson des Cœurs in Osaka. Upon his return to France, Yannick spent four years at Le Meurice. Today he is a chef who is inspired by his roots and international cuisines and guided by the precision required by the finest restaurants. At Zébulon he has reinvented the great classics of French cuisine.
