Ten new Paris restaurants that will make autumn 2026 worth the wait
Paris never stands still, and the 2026 autumn season is the most delicious proof of that. New restaurants in Paris are springing up everywhere, from the Canal Saint-Martin to the Île Seguin, from the 6th arrondissement to the 17th, with concepts as varied as they are ambitious. Here are ten addresses that deserve your full attention.
Concepts from elsewhere that are putting down roots in Paris
Some of the city’s newest tables play the travel card without ever leaving the capital. That’s the case with Nonno San, on rue Dauphine in the 6th, conceived by chefs Victoria Luciano and Keita Sukeno. Their approach is precise: either a great Italian classic faithfully executed, or a dish of itameshi, that cuisine born from the meeting of Italy and Japan, which the Japanese gradually adopted and made their own. There’s no approximative fusion here, just two gastronomic traditions treated with rigour.
In the same spirit of cultural crossover, Kintsugi Beer is setting up on quai de Valmy, along the Canal Saint-Martin. Jonathan and Jefferson have created a genuine brewpub, with 19 kegs stored at the back of the bar to offer an ever-changing selection of house-brewed beers: blondes, wheat beers, IPAs, lagers. On the food side, the menu is devoted entirely to gyoza, those Japanese dumplings served in classic recipes as well as more surprising variations.
Another notable arrival among the new restaurants in Paris: Carrot, on rue du Dragon in the 6th, set to open in autumn 2026. Conceived by Franco-British Amelia Duverger, this tearoom draws inspiration from the cafés of Portobello Road in Notting Hill. Expect an English Breakfast, scones with clotted cream, carrot cake, London Fog and afternoon tea. At weekends, the “Carrot Roast” pays homage to the traditional British Sunday Roast.
Street food and comfort eating find bold new homes
Among the new restaurants in Paris banking on immediate pleasure, Gasolio is preparing to open in the cour des Petites Écuries in the 10th. This counter, conceived by the team behind Red Sauce, takes its cues from vintage American gas stations. The menu features meatball sliders, slushees and a Boston-style pizza bar. It’s generous, carefully crafted street food, driven by a team that has already proven its credentials with Red Sauce’s Spaghetti Assassina.
In the 16th, Maison Rôtie is taking shape. Valentin Neraudeau, a former private chef, has spent nearly a year developing this project. His rotisserie-sandwich shop bets on quality produce and generous cooking, with that chef’s touch that turns a sandwich into a genuine moment of pleasure.
New restaurants in Paris: grand dining rooms and brasseries with character
Some of the 2026 openings are thinking big, in the most literal sense. Bouillon sur Seine, on the Île Seguin in Boulogne-Billancourt, opens its doors on 1 October 2026. The dining room spans 1,100 m², the terrace overlooks the Seine, and total capacity reaches 570 covers, including around a hundred outside. A vast glass facade facing the river makes this a truly unique setting, designed to welcome intimate groups and large parties alike.
On the French brasserie front, Brasserie Casel will open as early as September on avenue Victoria, near Châtelet in the 1st arrondissement. Behind the project is La Nouvelle Garde group, already responsible for Brasserie Bellanger, Brasserie Martin, Brasserie des Prés and Brasserie Dubillot. The formula stays true to form: 100% house-made cooking, classic French brasserie spirit, theatrical décor. But one new addition makes it onto the menu this time: aged beef.
- Gasolio: street-food counter inspired by vintage American gas stations, cour des Petites Écuries, 10th

Intimate tables driven by young talent
Among the new restaurants in Paris that are betting on a personal and committed vision, Les Bourgeons is opening on rue Cardinet in the 17th. Pierre Chauvel, 25 years old, son of a well-known chef, grew up between the stove and the cellar. He handles the food-and-wine pairings, while chef Orlane takes care of the plates. The ambition is clear: to champion the Île-de-France terroir, with local, seasonal produce sourced through short supply chains.
In the 11th, Pénates marks the first restaurant from Stéphane Moquet, former executive chef of the Fuga group. The space runs from morning to evening, across a garden, a light-filled veranda and an interior dining room extended by an open kitchen. Her cooking draws inspiration from Mediterranean shores with Japanese touches, leaning on flame cooking and smoking techniques to bring depth and character to her ingredients.
A timeless venue to end the night
Among these new Parisian addresses, Doobie’s occupies a place of its own. Born in 1938, this venue in the 8th arrondissement on rue Robert Estienne is not a recent opening, but it is very much alive again. Grand salon, winter garden, boudoir, late-night bar: you move from room to room in an atmosphere that evokes a Paris from another era. Dinner slides naturally into the small hours, and time stretches out across rooms that feel inhabited and full of soul. For lovers of new restaurants in Paris who are also after a singular nocturnal experience, this is an address well worth the detour.
