The restaurant
The Pakal spirit
A contemporary brasserie where you come to share a great meal and enjoy a convivial moment.
The spirit of a great Southern table, a taste for elsewhere — at Pakal, every meal is a departure.
In tune with the times
Pakal reinvents the Southern brasserie: the generosity of a great table, carefully sourced produce — and a plate that never sits still. Mediterranean, Asia, the Americas: every menu is an itinerary.
No showing off here. Honest cooking, precise timing, bold flavours. You come for a lunch with colleagues, a family dinner, a long evening on the terrace — and you leave already planning your return.
This journey is found on every plate: discover our culinary vision, brought to life every day by a convivial brasserie where everyone loves to gather.

Mika & Jo
Michaël and Geoffrey — Mika and Jo to the regulars — have known each other forever. Already restaurateurs in their own right, they dreamed of a table that felt like them: generous, open to the world, no fuss.
Pakal was born of that friendship. A place made for welcoming — from quick lunches to the big Saturday-night tables.
« Every plate tells a story, every flavour is a journey. »
A name from far away
Pakal borrows its name from K'inich Janaab' Pakal, the great Maya king of Palenque — a civilisation of stars, builders and travel tales.
From that heritage, the place keeps a whisper: a golden motif here, an engraved line there. A discreet nod — never a theme.
