Editorial Review

Start with a star, Inaki Aizpitarte, who's ranked higher on the list of World's 50 Best Restaurants than any other Paris chef. Take the space next to his restaurant Le Chateuabriand and hire one of the world's most famous architects, Rem Koolhaas, to cover the floor, ceiling and walls entirely in marble. Put a bar in the middle and serve the most pedigreed natural wines at ridiculously low prices - €5 per glass. Line the counter with pretty Belleville girls and dangle long strips of Iberian ham in front of their noses. Put some foam on the sea scallops with salsify, some blood sausage on the oyster tapioca. Call it the most hyped (and rightly so) wine bar in Paris.
