Hey Honey: the uncommon restaurant-bar serving cocktails matching your mood!

In the heart of the Hôtel Maison Mère set in Paris 2^nd arrondissement, a buzzing venue is getting more and more talked about. Hey Honey is the uncommon spot attracting Parisians and tourists like honey bees. This restaurant-bar delights us because it looks like a trendy beehive with colorful honeycombs in an intimate atmosphere made of velvet and red neon lights.

Enjoy inventive cooking created by Swiss-Colombian chef Santiago Guerrero serving French fusion dishes, namely French gastronomy mixed to flavors from all over the world. In turns, you can enjoy black pudding with burnt grapefruit, Nopal tacos smoked under a cloche, duckling fillet and gratin dauphinois spruced up with black beer sauce and homemade Sichuan and Korean-style pickle terrine.

Between dishes to share, comfort food and street food, the least we can say is the place suits all your cravings. Desserts included. Hey Honey surprises us with uncommon twists: pineapple-Sichuan pepper, Valrhona chocolate ganache and tarragon, and Ossau Iraty cheese with jalapeño spread; in other words, you shall expect the unexpected.
