Kitchen Terre

Paris, France

Kitchen Ter(re) grew out of a conversation between chef William Ledeuil and one of his suppliers, a baker in France's south-west. Together, the two dreamed up six varieties of low-gluten pasta made using ancient grain varieties (such as small spelt and Khorasan wheat), which went on to form the basis of the vibrant menu at this bustling restaurant in the 5th Arrondissement. Expect multitextured dishes that fuse French, Italian, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese and Indian influences with flair. Different artisanal pastas, the likes of dentelle, coquillette or girolette, are elevated with bouillons that feature ingredients such as galangal, Japanese seaweed, citrus fruits and wasabi. Design-wise, blue banquettes, 1950s-style paintings and a small sunny terrace bring the joie de vivre. Ledeuil also owns the Ze Kitchen Galerie, on rue des Grands Augustins, where again his menus beautifully meld the tastes and textures of France and Asia.
