Dandelion
Neo-bistro — Quartier De Charonne (Paris)
About
Dandelion is a neo-bistro nestled on a tree-lined square in Paris's 20th arrondissement, offering respite from urban bustle. Led by chef Antoine Villard (former sous-chef at Septime) and sommelier Morgane Souris, the restaurant showcases author-driven cuisine that reimagines French classics with subtle Asian influences. Michelin-starred and recipient of Gault&Millau's Young Talents Award, Dandelion distinguishes itself through instinctive flavor combinations, rich sauces, and meticulously sourced ingredients. The refined décor features raw walls, vintage Italian furniture, and 1970s lighting fixtures, creating an timeless, warm atmosphere. The concise menu prioritizes quality over quantity, featuring dishes such as braised veal sweetbreads, raw prawns with ginger, and tropézienne cream puff. Morgane curates an original selection of natural wines at approachable prices.
