At Bistrot des Tournelles

Bistrot Paul Bert, one of the most renowned names in hospitality, stands as a distinguished institution in Paris and is a must-mention in our editorial series. We visited the institution to capture the details and dedicated team that keeps this institution alive.

At Café des Ministères one can expect a combination of tradition and quality, with a modern mindset, newly helmed by husband and wife team Jean and Roxane Sévègnes. The culinary power-couple took over the esteemed institution in 2019, which has been met with overwhelming praise for the new life injected into the classic French menu by the Ducasse-trained chef.

We spoke with founders Crislaine Medina and Head Chef Hanz Gueco who brought new life to the iconic Chinese restaurant, Le Cheval d’Or, since 2023. The bright personality of the restaurant and menu shone vividly through the charismatic duo, and the entire team.

We met Morgane Souris (formerly of Parcelles), who founded the restaurant Dandelion with Antoine Villard (formerly of Septime and Double Dragon). A future institution.

The most famous brasserie in the heart of Châtelet (and surely in Paris), open day and night since 1947, is the must-visit address for Parisians and tourists in search of traditional and daring dishes. Seventy-seven years later we bring you the first collection of souvenirs, exclusively on GiftShop.

Created to celebrate the institution's 10th anniversary, we've got a few of the Servan's friends & family t-shirts. They feature a stylish reflective logo that stands out. These shirts are also available for kids, in black or white.

Le Verre Volé kicks off the new season with a fresh uniform featuring a stunning "Bugatti" work jacket paired with a faded denim cap for a striking look. Everything is, of course, available on GiftShop in limited quantities...

GiftShop presents "Institutions," our series paying homage to iconic hospitality venues around the world.

We're excited to announce our collaboration with the Parisian restaurant Dumbo, known for its smash burgers, on the re-release of their iconic “El Dumbo” t-shirt. Initially produced in a very limited edition for the staff of the Pigalle restaurant and close friends, this t-shirt, with simple graphics paying homage to American fast-food imagery, is being brought back with GiftShop. Staying true to the original t-shirt, the GiftShop version is made on a heavyweight cotton base and retains its classic fit. Available in a limited edition on Giftshop.club and at the Dumbo locations !

Folderol is by no means a concept devoid of meaning, contrary to what its name might suggest. Regulars and tourists alike have come to understand this, as the place - which we would have once kept jealously secret - has become extremely popular. Too popular, according to the locals who still can't get over seeing a crowd of curious onlookers, smartphones and TikTok in hand, queuing up down the street to access the precious treasure: the delicious artisanal ice creams by Jess and Robert, accompanied by their selection of natural wines.

Our guests are talented creatives from various fields. They share their passion for collecting, rare finds, and merchandise that holds a special place in their hearts. For the fourth episode of 'Souvenirs Souvenirs,' we have David Bellion, a former professional footballer turned creative consultant, heading the Super Vision Office agency and also the publisher of Sport Étude and Take Away magazines. He opens the doors to his closet in Paris.
