The winner of M6' s culinary competition is now at the helm of an ephemeral restaurant in Paris for thesummer of 2021. The Manzili restaurant awaits you in the bucolic setting of the Jardin des Plantes from now until October 3, 2021.

And, in the end, it was the Bertrand Group (the restaurant group behind such names as Angelina, La Coupole and Brasserie Lipp ) that sketched out the contours of this short-lived summer restaurant on its social networks at the beginning of May.

In the end, the restaurant opened by Mohamed Cheikh is a vast terrace located in the heart of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris's 5th arrondissement. It's an ephemeral restaurant for which the chef has imagined a menu featuring Mediterranean flavors.

Manzili, which means"my home" in literary Arabic, is intended to be a real place of life, a place for sharing, where the chef will be offering plenty of small dishes to share, including seafood and vegetarian recipes. Mohamed Cheikh promises affordable prices.

To create his Mediterranean-inspired menu, Mohamed has selected and sourced the best produce from France, Italy and North Africa. So here we have sun-drenched vegetables, rock fish and excellent Sicilian pistachios...

Imagine Manzili as you would at home, with delicious dishes to share with family and friends. The aim of this short-lived restaurant? To make you feel at home in a friendly atmosphere, and to share a delicious moment with you. It's a winning bet, because the conviviality and gourmet delights are definitely there. We love the spicy gambas fritters, thelamb shoulder with chermoula, the excellent grilled octopus or the tarama, the smooth and light sweet potato purée and the eggplant caviar. Everything is richly flavored and a true moment of sharing.

For dessert, let yourself be seduced by the fresh, fruit-rich Pavlova, the gourmet Tiramisu or the excellent Nomade signature dessert that some have seen on TV.

Reservations for Manzili are open every week, so don't miss out. Otherwise, a few unreserved tables remain open for those passing through, but note that it's first come, first served.

This isn'tMohamed Cheikh 's first short-lived project since taking part in"Top Chef". For a week in Paris, he opened the Nomade ephemeral restaurant where, with Matthias Marc (another contestant on the show with whom he won the paired competition), they delivered their winning menu from the Guerre des Restos to Parisians.

What about a trip to the Jardin des Plantes this summer to sample Mohamed Cheikh 's cuisine at Manzili, after or before a stroll in the garden while enjoying the Fragiles colosses exhibition?
