Restaurant Tour: Tekés in Paris

Paris' latest hot spot is Tekés, “an ode to plants and to the ancestral cooking methods of Jerusalem,” according to the Tekés site, and all vegetarian. The restaurant’s name means “ceremony” in Hebrew, and indeed, the interiors by Rodolphe Albert from Cent 15 Architecture feel like a site for quietly chic celebration.

Tall glass windows swivel open to connect the dining room to the street.

The interiors are built out with organic-feeling custom millwork.

The interiors are a mix of terra cotta, recycled and repurposed materials, and plaster niches filled with ceramics.
