Created by the same people behind Épure and Arbor, Ami and Wood Ear is a concept that pulls Parisian cuisine and fine whiskies together. In terms of food, the restaurant uses the word bistronomie, a blend of the words bistro and gastronomy, to describe their easy-going dining experience that doesn't skimp on culinary quality. Then there's Wood Ear, a bar dedicated to rare whiskies with over 400 labels sourced from auctions and private collectors from Scotland, Japan and beyond.
Ami is helmed by chef Nicolas Boutin and newly joined chef de cuisine Lea Cantalloube (formerly from Le Bistro Winebeast), who brings a lively and bold exploration of spices and herbs to Ami's innovative French cuisine.
Over at the bar, guests can enjoy everything from artisanal cheese platter and beef sando to French fries. Not forgetting the tipples, the Wood Ear bar offers a great selection of whisky with rare examples including Hanyu Ichiro's Malt The Colored Joker and Glen Grant 1955 60 Year Old La Maison Du Whisky, Martin's 1960s 12 Year Old Circa, and Langs 1940's Extra Special Old Liqueur, along with a series of whisky-based cocktails.
