Strength in numbers! Camille and Eric prove it once again withHabile, ahybrid spot (resolutely 10th arrondissement) wherefood andfashion se mettent au diapason : d’un côté des bons produits mitonnés sans flonflon mais avec générosité, de l’autre des essentiels mixtes réalisés dans de belles matières. Du petit-déj’ au dîner, on adore s’y retrouver, comme dans une deuxième maison.

HABILE est un restaurant unique qui se niche au coeur de Paris créé par Camille Andrieux, styliste et Eric Fontanini, chef. Forcément le lieu leur ressemble.

HABILE est un restaurant unique qui se niche au coeur de Paris. Le chef Eric Fontanini (ex Alain Ducasse et Guy Savoy) propose une cuisine mêlant gourmandise et inventivité. La carte est renouvelée chaque mois au gré des saisons. Le croque monsieur est l'iconique du menu.

ONCE UPON A TIME…

"Design me the perfect apron!"It was this request from her partnerEric Fontanini, former chef at therestaurant Palais-Royal(trained underGuy SavoyandAlain Ducasse),that stylistCamille Andrieux(Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, Chloé,Iro) started thinking about a unisex wardrobe.

That was five years ago, and back then it still felt a little out there."We have different body shapes but we love the same clothes, so I ended up designing a unisex collection, that we can both wear."First an online fashion label and a presence in pop-up shops,Habileevolved into a living space where you can eat and get dressed. "Every time people found out Eric was a chef, the conversation shifted to roasts rather than fashion", laughs Camille today.

THE TWO OF US, FOR LIFE

"We don't want fashion you consume and throw away — we want fashion you'll spend time with."Proof of that: the labels that come with each piece:Shall we go to yours?;"The two of us, it's for life"… as if you were going to build a lasting relationship with your clothes!

Our favourite pieces? Thereversible jacket in aworkwearstyle, available in four colours (€245), thejumpermade from end-of-stock yarn fromSaint Jamesor a genuinely lovelysnood scarf(€135).

On the menu designed byPapier Tigre, you choose according to the time of day and your mood: aseared pear granola (€11), aFrench toast brioche(€10) and ancookie that's seriously indulgent (€4), a soup of the day and a brioche-bread croque with ham and tomme de Bray, or a poultry, hazelnut and mushroom pâté en croûte, a fried egg with pesto, charcuterie that will blow your mind, or beautifully pearlescent scallops with endives and shallots slow-cooked in orange. Special mention for the divine slow-braised lamb neck confit for 8 hours, served with panisse, celery leaves and a meat jus. And the desserts hold their own too, with a rice pudding of the highest order with olive oil, or a warm chocolate mousse.
