Pantagruel moves out, Panurge moves in

Mathilde Bourge | 5/26/25, 9:31 AM

Jason Gouzy begins a new phase in his culinary career by moving his restaurant Pantagruel to a larger space and inaugurating a new address, Panurge. Here's all the info.

Chef Jason Gouzy is embarking on a new stage in his culinary journey: Pantagruel, his gourmet restaurant opening in late 2019, is moving from 24 rue du Sentier to 10 rue de Richelieu, in the 1ᵉʳ arrondissement of Paris. This change of address is accompanied by a significant gain in space - 300 m² compared with 100 previously - and will enable the company to welcome around 35 guests, compared with 20 to 24 previously.

At the same time, Pantagruel's historic premises will not remain unoccupied: from June 16, it will become the setting for Panurge, a new restaurant conceived as a bridge between bistro and gastronomy, serving accessible bourgeois cuisine. A €30 starter-main course-dessert menu will be available at lunchtime, while the evening menu will be more open-ended.

Two establishments, two complementary identities

While Pantagruel retains its gastronomic vocation and famous signature (dishes served in three complementary plates), Panurge aims to offer a simpler, but no less polished experience. The décor of the latter will remain faithful to the spirit of the first place, to ensure a certain continuity in atmosphere and level of service.

The name Panurge, like Pantagruel, draws its inspiration from the works of François Rabelais. This literary nod underscores the chef's desire to build a coherent universe, where each address occupies a singular place, but is linked by a single culinary approach.

A gastronomic vision on the move

For Jason Gouzy, these changes do not mark a break with the past, but rather a natural extension of his vision. By rethinking locations and multiplying formats, he aims to offer distinct experiences, while remaining true to his identity: precise, expressive cuisine rooted in French tradition but open to modernity.

With the relocation of Pantagruel and the opening of Panurge, the chef continues to move the boundaries of Parisian gastronomy, combining creativity, accessibility and high standards. A dynamic that testifies to his ambition and appetite for renewal.

20 tables in the countryside

What a long winter it's been! Even if we all enjoy dining out in a cosy atmosphere, sometimes with a roaring fire to warm us up, we have to admit that we've all been waiting for spring. To celebrate the return of this season, synonymous with renewal both in the now verdant countryside and in our finally colorful plates, there's nothing like a selection of 20 tables in the countryside. On the banks of a stream, in the heart of a valley, on a flower-filled terrace, on a square in the shade of a plane tree or on the edge of a forest. enjoy the charms of these "warmly" recommended addresses. Auberge de la Grive, Aisne Nicolas and Cécilia Gautier, whom we've been following for a long time (Nicolas also has the distinction of having twice been elected Jeune Talent, in 2010 when he worked at l'Ardoise, in Ognes, then three years later when he was at the helm of Château d'Esclimont), returned to the heart of Picardy in the summer of 2023. They sold their two other restaurants, Nature and Bistrot RG, in the North of France, to create, in a magnificent country house they fell in love with (and which they now occupy), the Bistrot RG.the two of them work in pairs, facing a dozen or so customers arranged in a U-shape around a central island where the couple are busy. The menus are imposed, of course, but that's the only slight complaint the Gautiers might have. Even if the atmosphere can sometimes take a little time to warm up (it's not always easy to get along with table-mates you haven't chosen), the dishes that follow one another soon cheer up even the sorriest of spirits. The 3 toques are already very close, for the very fine char from Voulpaix lightly confit, lovage and nasturtium, the soft-steamed monkfish (wonderful flesh) with beurre blanc and girolles from Saint-Gobain and the gourmet blonde from Caillouël roasted over the embers. As you can see, Nicolas Gautier still loves working with local produce (and he talks about it with passion), and he doesn't neglect the desserts, which are very elaborate and personalized. The cellar is quite short, but very well focused. Where? 5, rue du Logis, 02300 Trosly-Loire See the Gault&Millau review ofAuberge de la Grive www.aubergedelagrive.com

Does the order in which the wines are tasted matter?

Is it a good idea to drink red before white? Yes, in some cases. At the table, the crescendo of tasting can stray from the beaten path more easily than you might think.
