Agapé's area is home to many modern French restaurants within a 1km radius, making the 17th arrondissement a new map of Parisian cuisine. Agapé's is different because his boss is a restaurant manager, not a chef. Laurent Lapaire worked as a front office manager at the Michelin three-star restaurant Arpège in Paris for more than 10 years and has an extraordinary insight into customer needs.
Laurent Lapaire's non-chef-led restaurant model has led to an unusually frequent change of chefs, with six chefs having been replaced in the past nine years. Despite this, it has been able to maintain its consistent high standards, with every detail revealing a consistent style and spirit. This is due to Lapaire's comprehensive insistence on expanding from food to dining experience. "Small and beautiful" is the best way to describe it. Although it has only 35 seats, it has an extraordinary demeanor. White and gray and contemporary abstract lines extend from the interior decoration of the restaurant to the dining table. On the artistic plate, the food uses a lot of white space to highlight the concentrated flavor essence, and different flavors that have never been thought of are combined together in a new way. Seasonal ingredients and light cooking techniques suitable for contemporary young people represent a more open new French cuisine.

It’s delicious and inexpensive, really affordable. Friends passing by can come and try it. It’s really a very good restaurant!
An absolutely outstanding experience. The food was exceptional! And the service was impeccable. A beautiful culinary journey. Right at the change of the season with flavors and wines paired to perfection.
Wow! This place was absolutely mind blowing! The food was perfect and the staff was incredibly nice and attentive—we will make sure to come back next time we are in Paris!
We had the lunch menu of 54 euros which is specially created for thefork festival. The price was quite reasonable considering it's a 1-star Michelin restaurant. We were quite happy with the food and service. The only critique I have is for the dessert whose taste was a bit flat.
