Gala, a Mediterranean residence, festive and nostalgic, rises like a temple of celebration. Merging past and present in a psychedelic atmosphere. Inspired by the great receptions of 70s, Gala becomes a culinary oasis. An ode to great modern cuisine, conviviality, and freedom.
Gala’s first vibrant service
The first service begins with lively conversations, carried by pianist-singers, with the simple but crucial mission: to comfort each guest. At the end of the second service, the volume increases, the light dims, giving way to a real party explosion.
“I’ve always loved partying. The big, the small, the planned, the spontaneous. That of the day or that of the night. The one we do to ourselves when we love ourselves enough, or the one we do to others when we find them. The celebration should not be a moment, or the result of an expectation, but a constant way of life. We should “be” a party. »
Mystery and magic: Gala’s home
Lost in a maze of alleys, Gala's residence is revealed with its pink and blue stained glass windows, Its suggestive nymphs, and his blue halo bewitching on foggy days. Between mysteries and legends, it would have welcomed the great scholars of the world, artists, idlers and free spirits. Nourishing rumors and fantasies.
From majestic banquets to shamanic rites, decadent parties celebrating all the pleasures of life to thermal baths dedicated to transcendental meditation in the basement. Legends are woven around Gala. A abode that transcends the boundaries of the ordinary, resonating with vibrations perceived at the ends of the world.
An imaginary culinary serenade
The Gala restaurant presents itself as a imaginary and psychedelic representation of private apartments. Where Asian lacquer from floor to ceiling, monochromes of blue, green or beige, noble materials and old crockery create a nostalgic atmosphere, conducive to exchanges, sharing, and guilty pleasures.
A unique journey into the depths: The Orient-Inspired subsoil
The basement of Gala offers a unique experience inherited from the Orient. A festive and decadent hammam offering an extensive cocktail menu, ideal for organizing large, intimate dinners. A place where oriental traditions and contemporary extravagance mingle. Highlighting the very essence of Gala: a constant celebration of life, party and freedom.
The art of merging flavors
La Mediterranean-inspired French cuisine, shaped by the chef Vladimir Ropoport, offers the perfect marriage between France and desirable species. A nostalgic trip to the world of yesterday. Where creative gastronomy comes to life in a warm space made of mirrors and emerald hues.
An imaginative feast
Among our flagship recipes, Gala offers symphony of flavors awakening the senses. Prawns dressed in kadaif with honey-mustard sauce, roasted cauliflower with truffles, the famous octopus grilled with squid ink, Saint Laurent-style chicken pastilla, and lamb shoulder confit during 12 hours then lacquered.
As for desserts, baking myths are reinterpreted with a pink-raspberry macaroon, a salted chocolate mousse with chili pepper and olive oil. Or even a baklava-style mille-feuille to share. Each bite is an invitation to discovery, to the fusion of flavors, and to the celebration of taste pleasures. Gala is not just a restaurant, but a sensory experience where the cuisine becomes a work of art in its own right, evoking the celebrations of yesterday in a modern and enchanting setting.
In short, Gala transcends the limits of a simple restaurant to become a sensory journey combining extravagance, mystery and exquisite flavors. Rooted in 70s nostalgia, Gala celebrates celebration, cuisine and freedom, offering each guest a unique experience. It is much more than a place of gastronomy; it is a Mediterranean sanctuary inviting everyone to be the protagonist of an eternal celebration.
