Luz Verde

Top-tier Mexican cuisine has arrived in Pigalle and there isn't a corny sombrero insight. At Luz Verde, a sophisticated taqueria and wine bar in the 9th arrondissement, the food speaks for itself. Bartender Quentin Zuddas and chef Alexis Delassaux, both Frenchie alums, have amassed a devoted fanbase.

The buzz often means queuing for a table, but staying is well worth the wait, and the warm staff is quick to put fresh pisco sour in your hand (€11). When it's your turn, start with quesadillas and tacos (chicken, lamb, deer, or octopus), then move on to a fresh sea bream ceviche with radish and citrus caviar, or the faultless octopus with Granny apples and kohlrabi. You have the choice of bread: traditional Mexican artisan lard bread, artisan brioche burger bun, or large wheat tortilla. The sauces are homemade. While the food is genuinely Mexican, Luz Verde stays true to the French vine by serving a glass of Touraine or Pic Saint-Loup (€6-8). They also offer a great wine and spirits menu (Tequila, Mezcal, Rum), as well as creative cocktails and classics such as the Frozen Margarita or Frozen Mezcal Passion.
