THE BLACK LACQUERED BISTRO



Black Calvados officially opened its doors exactly one year ago, so it is still a relative newcomer to the 8th arrondissement.

It serves as a cantine to the likes of Jacquetta Wheeler, Charlotte Stockdale, Maria Carla Boscono, Ricardo Tisci, Nicolas Ghesquière, Stefano Pilati, Fabien Baron, Carine Roitfeld, Natalia Vodianova, as well as the rest of the beautiful bunch. Sounds a tad too pretentious? Maye, but a little snobbery never hurt anyone. The sleek spot is worth checking out at least for its unique décor, which features high-gloss lacquered walls and smooth metal surfaces. According to Nicolas Ghesquière’s comment, it is not quite a very Parisian spot but it is nice to have it in the city. I would agree. There is nothing quite like diversity of choice!


The chef – Jerome Lorvellec of Nobu and Pershing Hall put together a spin on the American menu, so expect stuff like lobster rolls and mini Kobe hamburgers but also truffled mac n’ cheese. If you are short on funds, you can also make BC your spot for an apero. I wonder if the new president ever does?
