Discover the heart-wrenching story of Lolo Bistrot “the” restaurant in Paris, which we will miss so much with its impending closure.
Lolo Bistrot: A unique and unforgettable cuisine
June 1st will mark the closure of Lolo Bistrot, a venue that revolutionized the Parisian culinary scene.

Led by Zac Gannat, recognized among the “Talents of Tomorrow 2024,” this place has captivated its guests with bold combinations and striking dishes.
A place of culinary discoveries
Lolo Bistrot was not just a simple restaurant; it was a place of culinary experiences. Behind the counter, facing a worn oven that hissed with every opening, a cuisine took shape where each dish was an adventure. From spicy broths to surprising land-sea pairings, each visit was an opportunity to discover something new and unexpected.
Memorable moments shared
There are so many memories etched in the walls of Lolo Bistrot. Whether it was the wine glasses emblazoned with “Lolo” or the long evenings around small tables on the street, each visit marked a special occasion. For many, it was the meeting place, where unforgettable moments were shared among friends or family.
Signature dishes that will leave a mark
The cuisine of Zac Gannat has left indelible traces in our memories, especially with its signature dishes:
