Photos from my lunch at Akrame, whose chef Akrame Benallal was one of the youngest chefs ever to receive 2 Michelin stars ( at the age of 32, in 2014). What I like about Akrame is how he marries fresh ideas with traditions. A wonderful, highly recommended place.

P.S. Do visit Akrame’s new venture, madeleines stand in Centre Beaugrenelle on 12, rue Linois, 75015, Paris,  called Mad’leine. They are a-ma-zing.
