In the bubbling heart of Paris, it’s always time for a good culinary stroll.… In the heart of the 2nd arrondissement, where the little adresses gourmandes are legion, you’ll find the passage des Panoramas, a veritable emblem of this gastronomic effervescence. Because yes, beyond being a temple of philately in Paris, the gallery represents a paradise for all the capital’s foodies. Follow us as we take you on a tour of the best spots in this vestige of the Paris of yesteryear.
Canard & Champagne
When we talk about Canard & Champagne, we’re talking, as you’ll have gathered, about good cuts of free-range French duck but also champagnes from the big houses as well as small producers. In magret, parmentier, confit or even burger, duck is in the spotlight here and has been delighting Parisians for over 200 years now. It’s up to you to try it!

Faggio
It’s hard to make a selection of the best restaurants without including an Italian… And in the Panoramas passage, it’s Faggio that takes the cake. On the even side of the gallery, the good smells of the beechwood oven emanate and engulf thanks to the pizzeria. Between a delicious burrata and a homemade tiramisu, we treat ourselves to one of chef Davide Luca‘s delicious creations and enjoy…

Gyoza Bar
If the gyoza craze has been gripping Paris for a few years now, it’s hard to find food as tasty as at this stall in the heart of the city. The Gyoza Bar, nestled in the idyllic Passage, is a veritable temple of Japanese ravioli enhanced by a speakeasy. Masterfully crafted by chefs Shinichi Sato and Guillaume Guedj, the menu is ultra-simple and devilishly effective, transporting you straight to the land of the rising sun. And if you’re a little curious, its little brother the Ramen Bar is right next door!

Kimochi
Further down the passage, on the Montmartre gallery side, hides Kimochi and its amazing sushi burger concept. Between two crispy buns of minute-grilled rice, fresh fish, toppings and sauces make up the tasty, texturally rich dish. In terms of recipes, for example, we melt for the Salmon Tartare, a brilliant marriage of salmon avocado and fried onions. For lovers of spicy tuna, look no further than Spicy Tuna, while truffle lovers will delight in Truffles Mania!

Lombem
This last address is for the most meat-loving Parisians! At 22 du passage hides Lombem, whose name comes from the slang for butcher. Here, you can treat yourself to superb butcher’s cuts in a highly welcoming setting. For the more adventurous, it’ll even be possible to treat yourself to a rodeo with Marguerite, the mad electric cow from the establishment’s hidden bar!
