Beneath the arcades of rue Minage, Arco shares a glass façade with Maison des Ambassadeurs but has a separate entrance to the hotel. The cosy interior brings together exposed stone, a midnight-blue carpet, grey and peacock-blue chairs and velvet banquettes. Head for the patio terrace to the rear – a charming feature. The menu has two options: an appealing lunch set menu and more elaborate dishes in the evening. The seafood and vegetable-forward cuisine doesn't shy away from original combinations: green asparagus with liquorice and lemon balm, line-caught sea bass with olives and anchovies, endive with shellfish, apples with saffron and lemon thyme. Embracing all influences, the short wine list allows for some exotic pairings.
