Sauf Imprévu
Pierre Gagnaire's son cooks a buzzy, farm-to-table 6e bistro
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Félix Gagnaire, son of Pierre, opened this hearty 6e bistro in 2014 and it holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Worn tiles, mismatched wooden tables and a buzzy room frame a farm-to-table menu that leans on seasonal produce, salmon tartare with sesame and ginger, flank steak with turnips, roasted summer fruit. A wine bar of the same name sits next door.
Editor's Tip
Go for the energy as much as the plate; spill over to the wine bar after. Book ahead at dinner.
