Nesteled in the historic surroundings of the Passage des Panoramas, Racines, an Italian bistro, has been redefining the culinary scene in Paris since 2007. Chef Simone Tondo, the visionary behind Racines, breathed new life into the space, earning it the unique title of "Bistrattoria" by the prestigious Fooding guide—a perfect blend of his grandmother Marisa's traditional recipes and the contemporary charm of Parisian bistros.
In a spectacular turn of events in 2019, Racines achieved remarkable milestones. The esteemed Michelin Guide awarded Racines its first star, acknowledging the restaurant's commitment to excellence. Stephanie Crockford, the welcoming face behind Racines, was honored with the Hôtesse de l'année award at the prestigious Omnivore festival.
