The restaurant Passionate

Giving way to passion

In the vibrant heart of working-class Paris, where market gardeners, bourgeoisie and shopkeepers all lived and worked, Rue Bergère has a strong cultural and culinary heritage. At the corner of the peaceful Cité Rougemont, this is where Passionné restaurant has just opened its doors. Evolving throughout the day, it's the ideal spot to sit and chat as the neighborhood comes alive at lunchtime.

When night falls, it plunges visitors into a hushed atmosphere for intimate dining. With interior designer Kuniko Takano at the helm, the décor shimmers with minimalism, with its midnight-blue mosaic bar, dark walls and uncluttered furniture and lighting. This refined cocoon also includes a table d'hôte facing the open kitchen, as well as a hidden table for 8 guests.

In other words, a confidential new address where French gastronomy is sublimated every day according to the chef's whims.

"My strong attachment to French cuisine comes from my mother. I also grew up in Japan, on land at the same latitude as France, rich in legumes and other roots. When I decided to make it my profession, I started out in a 5-star hotel to learn the basics. I then developed an immoderate respect for small producers and their products, which I like to work with, in their entirety, right down to the root, right to the bone. This anti-waste approach is common to both my French culture and that of my Japanese origins. I cook with all my heart, and in that sense, you could say I'm a true enthusiast."

This is how chef Satoshi Horiuchi explains his culinary philosophy. Passionate, he is!

After starting his career in high-end catering at the 5-star Windsor Hotel Toya Resort & Spa in Japan, Chef Satoshi Horiuchi moved to France and fell in love with French gastronomy. He immerses himself in traditional French terroir cuisine in the kitchens of Le Cornichon, an award-winning bistronomic restaurant named best bistro in 2013. The restaurant, which offers tasty, flavorful classics of French cuisine, enabled him to quickly acquire the techniques and skills of French chefs. He continues his apprenticeship and the development of his culinary talents at Au Bon Accueil, a Michelin-starred restaurant located near the Eiffel Tower, where he offers refined yet modern cuisine, with a touch of originality and an emphasis on taste and product quality. In his dashing thirties, he now shares his gastronomic creativity behind the open kitchen stoves at Passionné.
