Café Germain
The latest restaurant/stunt from the Costes brothers, Café Germain, spread over three stories, has an over-the-top design, thanks to interior wizard India Mahdavi. The café on the ground floor has black-and-white tile floors, leather banquettes and club chairs in gray, orange and yellow, and a yellow plastic woman descending through the ceiling. Her upper half presides over one of the more intimate spaces on the floor above, known as the blue rooms. The fare resembles that at such other Costes restaurants as La Société and Café Marly but with a few diner references, like fish and chips and a banana split. You don’t come for the food but for the setting and the posing that it inspires. Métro: Mabillon.
