Located in the heart of the trendy Marais district, Anahi is an intimate restaurant with a unique culinary experience in the capital, mixing Argentinian flavors with a typically Parisian atmosphere. This former delicatessen at 49, rue Volta in the 3rd arrondissement has a decor that is both elegant and offbeat with its white ceramic tiles whose cracks have been lined with copper leaves, its Art Deco style earthenware ceiling and its lights resembling hanging hams. It presents a menu signed by the Argentinian star of the Michelin guide: the three-star chef Mauro Colagreco.
“Anahi’s menu is a celebration of Argentine cuisine curated by Mauro Colagreco and Riccardo Giraudi, with an emphasis on high-quality meats and traditional South American dishes. The highlight is undoubtedly the selection of grilled meats, including succulent entrañas and bife ancho cooked to perfection”, commented the inspectors of the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants. Bife ancho is the timeless Black Angus or Wagyu beef steak that makes Argentina a paradise for meat lovers.

The wine list includes a selection of Argentinian wines that pair wonderfully with the rich and hearty dishes.
