DESCRIPTION
The most luxurious of Parisian gastronomic guides, the most exclusive. The most timeless: with the QR code accompanying each review, the book becomes eternal and is permanently updated. Albert Nahmias knows his business well (and that of others). A star restaurateur in the 90s with Olympe, the happy few flocked to his table. From the art of hosting, he moved to the other side of the counter to cultivate the art of being hosted, and now he delivers his judgments. Whether they are favorites or criticisms, it’s an elegant and incredibly useful book. Like a gourmet and traveling Ulysses returning to his Ithaca rich in sensory and gustatory images, Paris becomes an odyssey-city that constantly attracts poets and ambitious individuals… Its chefs are also poets. In Paris, the true gourmet is a traveler from elsewhere who comes to taste its charms; like Ulysses, one simply needs to choose a neighborhood, a welcoming restaurant according to their mood, age, or fortune… This guide gives meaning to daily urban wandering, in the labyrinth of over a thousand establishments. No one knows them all. So many dives, bistros, and restaurants for a people of Parisian navigators for whom it’s a bit of a secret sport. Less so now.

about the author
Albert Nahmias, a sociologist by training and an emblematic figure in Parisian gastronomy, opened the restaurant Olympe on Rue du Montparnasse in 1972 with his wife Dominique Versini (alias Olympe). It quickly became the essential address for artistic and cultural Paris. Sometimes a press attaché, sometimes a consultant, sometimes a gastronomic columnist, Albert Nahmias perfectly masters the codes of gastronomy and has witnessed 40 years of gastronomy in France.
In the 1980s, he hosted the dining room of his restaurant, where cinema personalities (Claude Berri, Roman Polanski, Francis Ford Coppola), theater figures (Michel Serrault, Coluche, Miou-Miou), and music stars (Johnny Hallyday, Julien Clerc) flocked, actively participating in the effervescence of Nouvelle Cuisine. Today, a critic and gastronomic columnist for various magazines, he published “Petites histoires de grands chefs” (Little Stories of Great Chefs) with Hugo&Cie, tracing forty years of evolution in French gastronomy through his encounters with the greatest chefs.
Passionate about the French art of living, he continues to bear witness to this golden age where art, gastronomy, and Parisian society intertwined.
