Montana by Ticca, Paris

What an odyssey this iconic establishment has embarked on since the 1950s! Standing a mere few meters away from the legendary Café de Flore, the Montana looms tall and proud with its sleek black facade. Regardless of its intended purpose, it has always possessed the allure to attract a devoted clientele. In its infancy, it was a magnet for musicians and jazz enthusiasts who flocked to its dance floor to swing the night away. Later, the Montana transformed into a hotel with a small club, where its legend was immortalized. Over the years, the Parisian elite would revel in its intimate setting, further solidifying its status as a sought-after destination. Following a substantial renovation and the addition of six artful suites, the Montana has undergone yet another transformation.

Nowadays, the Montana by Ticca, proudly proclaimed by large, scarlet neon signs adorning its entrance, welcomes patrons to its new, meticulously designed space, open daily except on Sundays. Although the intended use of the premises has evolved, the atmosphere remains intimate and sophisticated. Commanding the kitchen, the chef who has bestowed his name upon a Parisian emblem will undoubtedly delight his discerning guests with his generous Italian cuisine. Examples of delectable appetizers on the menu include roasted octopus, scallops with guanciale, and pumpkin flan. And for those seeking heartier fare, dishes such as lobster-stuffed pasta, black truffle risotto, and veal Milanese are certain to satiate any appetite. To cap off your meal, indulge in the restaurant's tempting selection of desserts inspired by both French and Italian traditions.

Starting in March, the establishment's rooftop opens, providing an idyllic spot to nibble on a snack or enjoy a drink while taking in the stunning views of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
