Bistro Palyma

Set along boulevard Saint-Jacques, Bistro Palyma stands out for its homage to both Parisian café culture and the storied past of the local PLM Saint-Jacques railway. The interior melds light woods and contemporary finishes to create a warm, unmistakably Parisian feel.

Chef Djayi Tounkara leads the open kitchen with an emphasis on generous, unfussy classics. Seasonal selections might include oysters from Oléron or Burgundy snails, followed by confit pollock with carrot purée, or a juicy roasted chicken with gnocchi à la parisienne. The pastry trolley, highlighted by a vanilla mille-feuille with Opalys ganache, ends meals on a sweet note. Palyma’s focus on local products and relaxed hospitality ensures a sense of conviviality rooted in tradition, reimagined for a new era.
