Bistronomic Restaurant in Paris 5th
Restaurant Bistronomiquein Paris 5th - Cuisine inspired by travels, guided by fire.

Lava does not warn. It flows. It rumbles. It shapes.
At LAVA, it's not about setting fire. It's about understanding it, channeling it. Listening to it crackle.
LAVA, our call from elsewhere, is set on the heights of Montagne Sainte-Geneviève. A bit hidden, never shy, always incandescent. At the helm: Wilfried Romain. A chef-traveler, former Top Chef, returned loaded with memories, ideas, and spices.
Here, we play with fire. Literally. The embers roar in the kitchen, the smoke dances on the plates, and the sauces coat like a flow of benevolent lava. The menu evolves between memories of Latin America, the shores of the Pacific, and the reassuring base of a reimagined French cuisine. One dish evokes Santiago, another Osaka, a final one Marrakech – but all tell the story of Paris, here, now. This is the paradox of LAVA: to tame the fire to awaken the elsewhere.
The Midi, a bistro cuisine.
A classic, reimagined French cuisine — with a hint of travel. The bistro atmosphere, the intensity of the fire, a touch of escape. A lunch formula and a sunny terrace.
In the Evening, the Journey.
A journey with several stops, guided by fire. Whether we let ourselves be accompanied by a Carte Blanche Menu, or whether we create our own adventure à la carte: we discover a cuisine that returns from travel, nourished by embers, spices, and memories.
Let the LAVA flow.


"Combining the chef's passion for volcanoes with the sommelier's for wines, Lava is among the must-visit tables in Paris right now. Cooking with fire and embers, ingredients full of character, spices... A vibrant and colorful composition in the heart of the Latin Quarter that particularly attracts a clientele of aesthetes in the evening."

Here, we play with fire. Literally. The embers rumble in the kitchen, the smoke dances on the plates, and the sauces envelop like a benevolent flow of lava.
