Philippe Etchebest opens his ephemeral ravioli counter in Paris called Signature

Philippe Etchebest sets up his Signature ravioli counter in Paris from October 9 to 31, 2025. The double Michelin-starred chef is offering us his signature ravioles in the 11th arrondissement, following the success of his Bordeaux concept, which has now become permanent.

Philippe Etchebest is coming to Paris with Signature, his ravioli counter on rue Sedaine in the 11th arrondissement. From October 9 to 31, 2025, the double Michelin-starred chef and Meilleur Ouvrier de France will be offering a street-food take on his signature dish. After the resounding success of his first counter in Bordeaux, which has now become a permanent fixture, the chef is trying his hand in Paris. Will it also be a hit in the capital?

The Signature story begins in Bordeaux in September 2023. Philippe Etchebest launched an ephemeral pop-up near his restaurant Le Quatrième Mur, to test a daring concept: to offer his famous foie gras raviole, created in 1996 at Château Grand Barrail in Saint-Émilion, in a format accessible to all. It was a daring gamble for a two-starred chef accustomed to gastronomic tables such as Maison Nouvelle, his establishment awarded two stars in the 2025 Michelin Guide, or La Table d'Hôtes, also starred. Yet success was immediate. Bordelais flock to try these ravioles, which cost less than €20 and are prepared with the same care as gourmet dishes, but in a relaxed street-food spirit.

In response to this success, the chef decided to perpetuate the Bordeaux address. Signature became a full-fledged restaurant, offering a gourmet and affordable alternative to the chef's gastronomic establishments. The idea was a hit: Philippe Etchebest's savoir-faire, passion for good produce and exacting standards could be found here, all in a fast, friendly formula. Le comptoir à ravioles attracts both the chef's regulars and new customers, attracted by this accessible cuisine of excellence.

What will the Signature ravioli counter in Paris have to offer?

For his first foray into Paris, Philippe Etchebest follows the formula that conquered Bordeaux. On the menu, three savory ravioles showcase his savoir-faire. " La foie gras" takes up the chef's original recipe, with a fricassee of mushrooms, pan-fried foie gras and a creamy mushroom cremeux. It was this raviole that made his reputation nearly 30 years ago, and remains his signature dish today. For vegetarians, "La végétarienne"features a snacked eryngii mushroom in place of foie gras, retaining the dish's woody flavors and intensity. Finally, "La truffée" marries white ham with truffle and creamy truffled mushrooms for lovers of powerful flavors.

The chef has also imagined sweet ravioles, because gourmandise doesn't stop at the main course. " La citron meringuée" plays on the contrasts between the acidity of the lemon and the creaminess of the meringue. It's the best-seller on the dessert menu, and the one that comes up in every conversation. " La cannelée" pays homage to Bordeaux, the chef's hometown, by revisiting the famous Bordeaux cannelé. It features a vanilla bavaroise, a vanilla crumble and a cannelé sauce reminiscent of the traditional cake's caramelized flavors.

Philippe Etchebest has reworked his recipes to adapt them to the takeaway format. The texture of the raviole dough has been specially adjusted so that it is easy to eat with a spoon, without losing any of its quality. The ravioles are prepared by the chef's brigade, with the same exacting standards as in a gourmet restaurant, but in a generous, nomadic format.

Where can you enjoy Philippe Etchebest's ravioli in Paris?

The Signature pop-up is located at 25 rue Sedaine, in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, a dynamic district between Bastille and Oberkampf. Here, you can enjoy ravioli on the spot, in a relaxed atmosphere that contrasts with the codes of traditional gastronomy. There are no white tablecloths or stiff service here, just genuine chef's cuisine accessible to all.

For those who prefer to enjoy Philippe Etchebest 's creations at home, the chef has teamed up with UberEats for the entire opening period. The €19.90 menu includes a savory raviole, a sweet raviole and a small soup to accompany it. The perfect way to enjoy a meal without breaking the bank, with Etchebest quality guaranteed.

Will the Paris counter become a permanent fixture?

That's the question Philippe Etchebest is asking himself. The Signature pop-up, which opens from October 9 to 31, 2025, is above all a test. The chef wants to see how Parisians respond before making a decision. In Bordeaux, the concept was so successful that it became permanent. Customers loved the idea, which makes the cuisine of a two-starred chef accessible for less than €20. But Paris is a different market, with its own codes and demands.

It's a risky bet. The capital abounds in good addresses, innovative concepts and talented chefs. To stand out from the crowd, Signature relies on authenticity, quality products and Philippe Etchebest's renowned expertise. The chef doesn't cheat: ravioles are prepared with care, in limited quantities to guarantee quality. It's this dedication that could make the difference and win over Parisians.

If it proves successful, this ravioli counter could well become a permanent fixture in the capital. It's an address that's perhaps missing in Paris: a place where you can enjoy real gastronomy, signed by a great chef, in a relaxed format and at a reasonable price. While you wait for the verdict, we suggest you head to rue Sedaine to make up your own mind. Visit us from October 9 to 31, 2025 to try Signature and its famous ravioli.
