Bistro Millésime - Hôtel Mercure Paris Porte de Versailles Expo

Bistro Millésime sits inside the Mercure hotel right next to the Parc des Expositions de la Porte de Versailles, making it a natural stop for anyone in the area on business — or not. The setting leans into comfort: lounge music, dimmed lighting, and a layout that moves from lounge areas into proper dining rooms. It feels relaxed without being casual. The kitchen is led by Chef Louis José Bangard, whose menu stays grounded in French cuisine while bringing in some interesting technique and flavour combinations. Pan-seared cod comes with cauliflower variations and a saffron sauce. Seared scallops are paired with spelt prepared biryani-style, lemongrass, and ginger. Sea bream fillet arrives alongside roasted sweet potato and butternut, finished with a yuzu beurre blanc. There's a clear confidence in the seafood work here. The overall feel is refined but not stiff — the kind of place that works equally well for a business dinner or a quieter evening out.
