The start of the new school year promises to be spicy and well-traveled in the 11th arrondissement. In mid-October, the Gourou restaurant will open its doors, introducing Parisians of all ages to the flavors and scents of Bombay's irani cafés and Indian bazaars.
Valentin Bauer and Adrien Bouchaud are passionate aboutIndia, and in particular the country's cuisine, for which they have a genuine admiration. Without ever claiming to represent or appropriate a culture, they aim to share a cuisine that respects traditions, enriched by their own sensibility.
The two founders have been working on the project in advance, with delivery only. At Gourou, executive chef Adrien (ex-Le Crillon, Le Ritz, Le 52) will unveil an Indian cuisine rooted in tradition but modernized by his very French technicality. Among the dishes on the menu are a fine selection of vegetarian and vegan recipes, made from fresh, seasonal produce, as well as little-known specialties from various Indian regions.
With a decor by DOD Architecte (responsible forArdent and Bouillon Pigalle), Gourou will be spread over two rooms, with two very distinct atmospheres: at the front, a lively street stall; at the back, a colorful room with a grocery space for taking good things home.
