Centre Pompidou. Sixth Floor.

Closed Tuesday. Open until 2am

This new canteen for the
artsy crowd can be found high above the city on the sixth floor
of the Centre Pompidou. "Georges" is run by the Costes familywhich
has brought us many trendy Paris cafesand is designed by young,
Paris-based architects Dominique Jakob and Brendan MacFarlane.
The design is striking with giant, aluminum-clad bubbles rising
out of a silver floor. These contain the kitchen, bathrooms
and VIP lounge. The real star of the restaurant, however, is
the impressive wrap-around view of Paris. To access the restaurant
without buying a museum ticket, take a special elevator just
to the left of the main plaza entrance. Sadly, this doesn't
mean you will be able to sneak into an exhibit after coffee.
Coffee, light food or hot entrees (10 euros and up). |

Lo Sushi, with its ultra
modern video screens and curving conveyerbelt, was designed
by Andree Putman. Sit at the counter and try to choose as plate
after plate of fresh and colorful sushi passes by. Plates are
different colors representing different prices. When you're
finished the waitress tallies up the empty dishes. About 5 euros
a plate. |
