Did you enjoy discovering his creations during season 14 of Top Chef ? Danny Khezzar, the revelation and finalist in Top Chef season 2023, is extending his festive guinguette on the quays opposite the Eiffel Tower. So, if you're not yet ready for a return trip to Geneva, here's a golden opportunity to sample his cuisine.
It's The Place To Be for lovers of fun and wacky gastronomy. Get ready to savor the young chef's bold creations this summer in Paris.
Top Chef prodigy Danny surprised everyone with his culinary skills. Despite his early elimination from the competition, he fought and defeated his rivals in the parallel competition to reach the final. In addition to being a chef, Danny is also a rapper.
This dynamic young man has just been promoted to chef of the Michelin-starred Bayview restaurant in Geneva. Suffice it to say, he's got a knack for it. In any case, this autumn, he's going the extra mile to treat us in the capital.
So, what does Danny have in store for you for this short-lived spot? The festive restaurant/bar, named Quai 96- a nod to the year of Danny's birth - is a 600 m² living space facing the Eiffel Tower. The space was imagined by Wild Buzz Agency and Paname Brewing Company, already behind Cargo on the quays of Bercy. Imagine a marriage between a festive guinguette and a basketball playground.
Danny promises us a place in his own image:
It's a veritable "living quay", as Danny himself describes it. Dj sets and mini showcases provide the evening's entertainment in this eclectic, gourmet venue. As for the cuisine, the chef offers a street gastro-inspired menu to discover on your own or to share with friends. The chef's secret blend of flavors is up to us. Imagine a delicious pâté en croûte kebab, Croquetas with cured ham and black garlic, or an ultra-gourmand guacamole with tequila and yuzu. Below in tasting format for the inauguration.

The spot is still waiting for you "until the end of the summer", i.e. until mid-October.
Dear gourmets and culture lovers, here's a golden opportunity to make a wonderful discovery. We've got all the ingredients for a magical Indian summer, under the spell of the Eiffel Tower and the talents of Danny Khezzar. So, on your marks, get set, enjoy!
And he's not the only one to come and treat us, since his opponent Hugo Riboulet, who won this season's Top Chef with 55% of the vote and a prize of over 54,000 euros, has also announced the opening of a street-food restaurant in Paris with Albane.
