Laïa Monceau — Restaurant in Paris

Laïa Monceau is owned by the FUGA group, which is known for projects such as Riviera Fuga and Francette. The restaurant opened in 2025.

The restaurant is committed to sustainable development: they say that there is a garden on the roof where they grow herbs for their dishes, and they plan to obtain an Ecotable certificate. We also learned that the restaurant is named after the owner's...

Unfortunately, the restaurant has changed for the worse.The menu we were used to, with its delicious dishes, has been replaced with others, many of which look fashionable but are not tasty. We ordered fish, which was extremely salty. The beef cheeks in chocolate sauce were overcooked and dry. The ravioli were too simple, although the sauce was interesting. The scallop carpaccio was a surprise, and it was really delicious. The service was good, but there were only two waiters in the room, which was not enough. For example, we had to wait a long time for the...

The food was exceptional, imaginative interpretations of traditional dishes crafted with ingredients from various countries, combined into cohesive and harmonious creations. The service was impeccable; the staff were attentive, courteous, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere was serene and enjoyable, providing a perfect setting for a friends’ gathering.
