About

La Cave de l'Insolite is a neo-bistro restaurant in Paris's 11th arrondissement, blending refined bistronomic cuisine with a natural wine cellar. Run by brothers Arnaud and Axel Baraquin, former chefs at acclaimed Parisian restaurants, the establishment features a short, daily-changing menu showcasing fresh, seasonal ingredients. Irish chef Michael McClean crafts inventive dishes such as lamb ravioli, stuffed whiting, and Atlantic sea bream. The warm, rustic-elegant atmosphere, anchored by an impressive Godin wood stove, creates an inviting setting. Over 150 natural wine references are displayed on open shelves for self-service selection. An authentic venue where quality ingredients, attentive hospitality, and thoughtfully curated wines combine to create memorable dining experiences.
