Je mange, tu manges, il/elle mange…and at Restaurant Manger, nous mangeons super bien.

With its sleek wallpapered interior, black-framed windows and high glass ceilings, the light-filled Restaurant Manger is the chic new comer to the bustling grungy strip of Rue Keller.

From his open kitchen Head Chef William Pradeleix whips up, amongst other treats, tangy octopus ceviche, beef tataki with coriander pesto and tagine of suckling lamb shoulder, as well as the daily specialties – Tuesday it’s grilled and seared, Wednesday it’s roasted, Thursday’s it’s wok and steamed, Friday’s it slow cooked and Saturday it’s everything we love (naughty food!). The seared tuna with crispy rice and spicy mayonnaise and the profiteroles with hot chocolate sauce were unbeatable.

At night let your taste buds revel in ‘le dîner des chefs invités’, a 55 euro set menu with recipes designed by the likes of les grand chefs Pierre Gagnaire, Michel Trama, Yannick Alléno, David Toutain, Christophe Michalak and Akrame.

What’s more, not only is Restaurant Manger dishing up incredible delectable delights in a beautiful setting, it is also devoted to social integration – and the team puts its money where it’s mouth is. Through the association Toques et Partage, the restaurant employs people who have been otherwise excluded from the workforce, and 10% of each bill is given back to the association.

Eating good food while doing a good deed; ça fait du bien.

So pop on down to Restaurant Manger – it’s the toque of the town.
