Fancy a trip to the Mediterranean in the heart of Paris? Head for Maison Constantine, a warm and inviting hybrid of Mediterranean restaurant, artisan bazaar and beauty salon!

In the heart of the 2nd arrondissement, you'll find Maison Constantine, a sun-drenched, hybrid place where the friendly team takes you on a journey around the Mediterranean. Here, you can come for a beauty treatment, enjoy healthy, home-cooked food or find a unique product in the grocery corner, in a warm boutique decorated with a thousand little details, some reminiscent of a journey, others of home. Because that's what it's all about - feeling at home!

Amidst the magnificent Persian carpet and azulejos, we settle in for brunch, lunch or a snack of Mediterranean flavors. Algeria, Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Italy- so many flavors, cultures and influences intermingle, thanks to the quality, fresh, seasonal produce used by the chef and available in the small bazaar at the entrance! Surrounded by a blue color reminiscent of the sea, you can pick up Moroccan green tea, henna, Amazigh beer, Algerian wine and many other products from the Maghreb and the Orient. On the menu: fig burratina, orange blossom tea, bruschetta, parmigiana, saffron latte, take your pick!

Originally from Algeria, manager Kenza has named this cosy, welcoming space after Constantine, the thousand-year-old prosperous Algerian city. She and her team have succeeded in creating an authentic family atmosphere, where everyone can take time for themselves and discover others. In fact, there's a craft corner selling clothes, beautiful jewelry and ceramic tableware stamped Constantine, made in France! This inclusive and artistic place also hosts a literary café and exhibitions, to give others all that love.

But what's behind that impressive wooden door, worthy of a fairytale from the Thousand and One Nights? The beauty salon, where you can be pampered away from the hustle and bustle of Paris, to the gentle sound of oriental music.

If you're one of those people who struggle to find a hairdresser to take care of your curly (or non-curly) hair, stop here and pass into the gentle, expert hands of Dylan and Jill. You'll appreciate their expertise and the added bonus of a skull massage, not to mention the semi-recumbent seating position, so you don't have to twist your neck as usual. Better than at home, after all! Feel like having your nails done? Justine is here to give you a makeover, just like Dounia in make-up!
