Le 20 Maison de la Mutualité, the new creative and welcoming bistro just a stone's throw from Notre-Dame

In the heart of the 5th arrondissement, Le 20 is a new creative bistro hidden under the arches of the Maison de la Mutualité, where traditional cuisine flirts with the flavors of travel. A friendly place for a business lunch, dinner with friends, or a pre- or post-show meal in the Latin Quarter.

Located on the ground floor of the Maison de la Mutualité, a stone's throw from the Panthéon, the Sorbonne, and the Seine, Le 20 Maison de la Mutualité is the new place to discover in Paris's 5th arrondissement. Not very visible from the street, this cozy bistro is a somewhat hidden gem, open to all, where people come as much to enjoy good food as to soak up the friendly atmosphere.

Bistro cuisine that dares to take gourmet detours

In the kitchen, the promise is clear: seasonal produce, producers in the spotlight, and honest recipes. Here, the great bistro classics are tinged with a touch of travel. Start with an egg mayo à la Cyrine, a haddock carpaccio with parsnip cream and lemon oil, shredded duck breast, or wild mushrooms with cream and a perfect egg. These starters may seem simple, but they are prepared with precision and generosity.

On the food side, the menu offers unpretentious local cuisine: slow-cooked pork belly and melt-in-the-mouth carrots, thick rib steak with salsa verde, shallots, and homemade fries, grilled octopus, land and sea, meat-free and fish-free options for vegetarians, not to mention the catch of the day written on the blackboard. The dishes are colorful, juicy, and crispy—in short, everything you would expect from a good Parisian bistro that doesn't take itself too seriously, except when it comes to good food.

The gourmet experience doesn't stop at the main course

Food lovers will want to save room for dessert: ginger-lemongrass-caramel floating island, cheese of the moment, chestnut and clementine because it's the season, or a wonderfully nostalgic F* American brownie. The drinks menu features a fine selection of wines from winemakers (Bouquereau, Ferrussac, Coche, Panéry, etc.), sparkling wines, beers, and a range of signature cocktails —house Spritz, Negroni, Gin and Tonic, Cuba Libre, and more. Everything you need to linger over a drink after your meal.

Designed for both business lunches and evenings with friends, Le 20 is also an ideal stop before or after an event in the Latin Quarter or at the Maison de la Mutualité: conferences, concerts, galas, screenings, and more. Come and raise a glass, share a plate, put the world to rights, and enjoy a slice of Parisian life in an iconic location that is still relatively unknown to the general public.

With its generous seasonal cuisine, unapologetic bistronomic spirit, and dishes brimming with creativity, Le 20 Maison de la Mutualité is establishing itself as a creative bistro in the heart of the 5th arrondissement that is well worth discovering.
