Maison Jaune, Boulogne's charming barge restaurant on the banks of the Seine

Maison Jaune, the barge restaurant in Boulogne-Billancourt, opens its doors. We invite you to discover its inventive cuisine in a bright, chic setting overlooking the Ile Saint-Germain.

Head for Boulogne-Billancourt , just outside Paris, to discover Maison Jaune, a new restaurant housed in a spacious barge on the banks of the Seine. Whether you're a Parisian or a tourist looking for an escape, or a Boulonnais looking for a spacious place with a view over the water, this is the spot for you. To get there, you'll need to take the Sembat metro station or the Gare d'Issy Val-de-Seine and take a stroll to whet your appetite.

We love the chic, modern decor, with its antique and reupholstered furniture and handmade lighting! As soon as you arrive, with the large bay windows filling the space, you're in for a real light bath with a view of the verdant surroundings. Architecturally, Maison Jaune features a three-level layout, centered around a yellow metal staircase.

Maison Jaune is the brainchild of Thomas Landowski, a globe-trotting gastronome whose international experiences influence the restaurant's menu. Chef Vincent Ressel, known for his stint at Kong and his interest in Asian cuisine, heads up the kitchen. He presents a series of dishes blending local flavors and international techniques. The plates, designed to be shared but not necessarily, reflect a modern, convivial approach to gastronomy.

The menu:

Dishes with global influences, with an emphasis on freshness and good produce. You'll be seduced by the black pudding wuton with Granny apples and sweet and sour sauce, the oysters smoked with bay leaf and Mezcal or the pumpkin cream with full-bodied poultry jus.

For the main course, we recommend duck breast with fragrant rice, expertly accompanied by a spicy ginger and Sishuan berry sauce. Fans of poultry will be seduced by the supreme, which we found perfectly cooked and tender. With its homemade purée and yellow wine sauce, it's a wonderful discovery.

As for desserts, Valentine Duez of Sémilla restaurant in Paris is at work. Airy Japanese cheesecake with pear and chocolate, chili and sesame ganache are on the menu of discoveries.

The Maison Jaune wine list features natural and biodynamic selections, seeking to harmoniously complement the dishes. This choice underlines a commitment to sustainability and respect for terroirs.

The restaurant's bar, run by mixologist Alexis Lebrun, offers inventive cocktails that we've come to love, offering bold flavor blends and tributes to various cultures, such as the Tomato Puto, a rich variation on the Bloody Mary. Ask him for a non-alcoholic cocktail, and he'll come up with something out of the ordinary. The Expressho made with rum, Ethiopian coffee and chestnut syrup is a wonderful discovery.

Last but not least, the outdoor area, notably the roof terrace, offers a beautiful escape on fine days, with a view over the Seine. This corner of greenery will feature a bar in a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for summer evenings.

In short, Maison Jaune in Boulogne-Billancourt is an address to discover for those looking for inventive cuisine in a whimsical setting! This restaurant on a barge offers a beautiful escape, an exotic brown. If you're looking for space, light and creativity, get out your notebook and take note of this address.
