Fine Dining in a Wonderfully Storied Setting
Housed in the oldest building in Paris, dating back to 1407, L’Auberge Nicolas Flamel offers a dining experience steeped in history and culinary excellence. The house, originally built by the legendary Parisian bourgeois Nicolas Flamel, served as a shelter for the poor and is imbued with stories of alchemy and the philosopher’s stone. Today, its legacy continues as a destination for gastronomy, transformed by Franco-Lebanese chef Alan Geaam since 2007.
Chef Geaam’s menu is a testament to his artistry and passion for fine dining. With dishes like langoustine paired with Belgian endive and a clementine-infused claw consommé, or pithivier of mallard, foie gras, and truffle, every plate achieves perfect harmony. Desserts, such as confit of quince with kalamansi and ginger, reflect a meticulous balance of flavours and textures. Geaam’s approach highlights exceptional ingredients, prepared with precision and devoid of unnecessary embellishments.
The intimate atmosphere of this historic setting elevates the experience, combining the charm of medieval architecture with the warmth of modern hospitality. At L’Auberge Nicolas Flamel, history and gastronomy merge to create a truly unforgettable journey into the heart of Parisian culinary tradition.
