A faintly fusion cuisine is what makes this cosy bistro, footsteps from place des Vosges,
stand out. Dishes such as raw tuna wrapped in sesame seeds or caramelised duck breast
served with roasted bananas lend a welcome Asian kick to a menu that otherwise reassures
with old French bistro favourites that have been around for centuries. Also has a summer
pavement terrace.

Dining at Dessance is unique. Only desserts are served - with an astonishing eye for detail
and creative zeal for marrying unexpected ingredients (yes, broccoli, beetroot and roquette
with chocolate and caramel). Whether you opt for the four-dessert menu or à la carte, a
sweet amuse-bouche kicks off the experience and a plate of mini gourmandises (sweet
things) ends it.
To get the most out of this sweet dining experience, heed the chef's advice when it comes
to drinks: the menu recommends alcoholic and non-alcoholic choices to accompany each
dessert.
