Le Faham by Kelly Rangama

The faham is an orchid native to the island of Réunion, famous for its subtle almond scent. Kelly Rangama (a Top Chef 2017 contestant) chose this flower to symbolise her civil and culinary union with pastry chef Jérôme Devreese and their joint creation: this sleek, elegant restaurant tucked away in the Batignolles district. Here the chef proposes a cuisine that abounds in vibrancy and delicacy, spicy but always subtle, with a touch of exoticism that makes all the difference. An example: her toothfish (fished in La Réunion) with sweet-sour carrots and ginger and a concentrate of tomatoes and crunchy rice. A genuine delight.
