Sourire is an intimate, refined bistro in the 13th arrondissement, at 15 Rue de la Santé near the Gobelins. Chef Justin Brohm — an Alsatian who trained in fine dining — cooks precise, creative menus that blend classic French technique with subtle Japanese touches, earning a place in the Michelin Guide for its quality of cooking. It is a small, locally loved spot rather than a tourist haunt.

## What to expect at Sourire

The kitchen works closely with small producers, changing the menu monthly and playing with texture and unexpected flavour combinations. Dinner centres on a tasting menu (around €89), with shorter set lunches offered at the end of the week. The room is warm and unfussy — blue velvet banquettes, old-school bistro tables — a relaxed backdrop for cooking that is more ambitious than the setting first suggests.
