2. Jean Imbert opens his third address of Les Bols de Jean
Jean Imbert opens a third address in the rue de la Boétie in the 8th arrondissement of the capital, on Saturday 20 January.
The principle of Bols de Jean remains the same: homemade and seasonal dishes served in bread bowls imagined by the famous baker Eric Kayser. Gourmets can thus find the "vegetarian bowl", the "bowl of the market", the "bowl of Brittany" or the "bowl of the chef", to enjoy from Monday to Saturday, noon and evening.
Where: Les Bols de Jean, 37 rue de la Boétie, 8e arrondissement de Paris

This future address will not be Hélène Darroze's first restaurant in Paris - The chef already has an eponymous gourmet restaurant in the 6th arrondissement as well as The Connaught in London, awarded two stars in the Michelin Guide.
