On Rue Keller in the 11th arrondissement, Tarántula is the lively Mexican cantina where wild mushroom tacos with spicy chanterelles and oyster mushrooms arrive on corn tortillas. Since the day it opened, guests have pleaded with owner-chef Maniu to sell them the house wine glasses, always in vain. Here, at last, is that very glass, ready for your own table. A word of caution: there won't be enough for everyone.
Tarantula
Within the walls of the legendary Parisian bistro Le Petit Keller, on rue Keller, lies a spicy institution that has been bringing inventive Mexican cooking to the 11th arrondissement since 2024. Tarantula is exactly what the Parisian food scene was waiting for: a chef-driven menu created by founder and chef Emmanuel Peña Treviño, paired with a low-lit atmosphere, a Latin American playlist and a colourful wine list. The combination of original tacos, bold sides and unique desserts certainly lays the foundations for an excellent meal at this new institution. The thirty-seat dining room opens from Tuesday to Saturday, evenings only, and bookings are taken through its Instagram account.
