Épopée
Modern French · Paris 11th · €€€
Épopée opened in October 2025 on Rue Léon-Frot, the second restaurant of sommelier Thomas Legrand and his wife Megumi, who founded Narro in 2020. In the kitchen is Yurika Kitano, trained in Japan and then in Paris at Passage 53, Clamato and Pilgrim.
The large, dimly lit room is dominated by a bar lined with natural wine bottles, and a dumbwaiter brings the dishes up from the kitchen. Lunch is a two- or three-course set menu; in the evening you order à la carte. Recent plates include beef tartare with persimmon and smoked ricotta, guinea fowl with a vin jaune sabayon, and a Mont Blanc with kabocha squash ice cream.
