Designed by David Lynch and helmed by the collective Assembly Group, Silencio Paris first opened in 2011 and quickly garnered a following as a hotspot for creatives from around the globe. More than just a restaurant, the venue is a creative hub, housing a cinema alongside a gallery space, library, bar, black room and stage. 

Silencio curated programmes to reflect France's cultural zeitgeist, collaborating with artists, institutions and fairs around the world. Aside from Silencio, Assembly Group own a range of other celebrated venues, including Olympe, Edo, Wanderlust and FVTVR.

First collaborating with El Silencio in 2021, world-renowned chef Guillaume Sanchez, has since curated menus that combined "client experience, culture and art". As a chef who surrounds himself with culinary figures that embody the age and cuisine of France, Guillaume has established a respectable reputation in the French dining scene.

Yes, it’s a city that wears its history like a Napoleon-era brooch, but it’s also a city in constant experimentation of art, politics, food and wine. It’s full of engaged, passionate people undertaking change of old paradigms and making strides in politics, human rights and ecology.

The sprawling boulevards are lined with cream and beige limestone facades; the deep green kiosks whisper stories of burlesque and museum expositions of the past. The bakery windows flaunt pastries that even Marie Anoinette would drool over. The moment you step out of the metro, you will understand why Paris is the capital of not only France but of the 

 (one who aimlessly strolls, admiring the surroundings).
