For this new address, Mory Sacko wanted “something happy”.“The dishes are found there in antique dealers”reveals the chef.“The cool thing is that you can eat from old dishes with old cutlery that had a life before”, he specifies. Lafayette’s is not just a restaurant, it is also a place rich in memories. “The woodwork and gilding on the ceiling are original”, explains the owner of the place, Benjamin Patou.

Just like the decoration, the cuisine proposed by the former candidate of Top Boss evokes a return to the past, while mixing three different cultures. On the menu : “Dishes from French, African but also American cuisine in homage to the Marquis de La Fayette”. “We can find entrecôte-frites-béarnaise, fish attieke, or a cheeseburger or Cajun salmon with coleslaw on the side”, explains Mory Sacko.
