A Paris Restaurant Known for Its Food & Wine Pairings 

Nectar is recognized as one of the most thoughtful food and wine pairing restaurants in Paris, thanks to a curated cellar and a chef whose cuisine naturally welcomes contrast and harmony. 

Expect: 
• expressive wines from independent winemakers 
• structured whites, aromatic reds, and elegant bubbles 
• pairings crafted to enhance flavor, not overshadow it 
• a sommelier-driven philosophy grounded in feeling and precision 

Each pairing is designed to accompany the dish’s rhythm , sometimes echoing it, sometimes challenging it, always elevating it.

Beyond Wine: Pairings Designed for Modern Dining 

What makes Nectar unique is its commitment to pairings that go beyond wine. 
Here, drinks are crafted with culinary intention, using advanced techniques from the bar. 

This includes: 
• house clarifications 
• long infusions 
• aromatic extractions 
• fermented bases 
• hydrolats and reductions 

These drinks blur the lines between mixology and gastronomy — expanding the idea of what a pairing can be.
