A trip to Paris never disappoints, its beauty, a walk along the Seine, its cultural offer, buildings that captivate you... I always say that this city is the greatest open-air museum. Today we'll make just one stop (which is a lot). I'll take you to the Pigalle district, exactly 20bis, Rue de Douai (9th district). You'll know when we've arrived. The pink, ivy-covered, industrial-looking building that houses the restaurant I'm going to show you today cannot go unnoticed. You'll see how its distinctive façade stands up to its name.

Pink Mamma is the youngest member of a large family, the Big Mamma group, which has many restaurants not only in Paris, where it already has six, but also in Lille and London. This latest opening is backed by the track record of its owners Victor Lugger & Tigrane Seydoux.

The 720 square metres restaurant is divided into four floors and has been designed by Martin Brudnizki from Design Studio. Each level has its own spirit and decorative style, with an atmosphere of vintage and industrial touches and a meticulous decoration, where nature is another element of the space thanks to its climbing plants. I recommend you visit each of the levels and delight yourself with their different atmospheres. The experience is well worth it. If you get to the last one and there is a seat, don't think twice and ask for a table! Is the most popular area.

It is surprising because one of the most outstanding features of this place is its skylight that illuminates a small greenhouse revealing a botanical garden and offering impressive views. Climbing up is a real walk-through time. The stairs are full of pictures, paintings, magazine covers, posters, and all kinds of antiques from the city's flea markets.

Despite its diversity, this trattoria combines perfectly with a palette of blue and green colours, patterns, and tapestries. Important to mention are also the tiles and metallic details as well as the metallic piping of the bars, ranging from the more traditional Tuscan style at the first floor, through the brasserie-style furniture to an art deco touch with the golden front of the bar and the cocktail bar lamps at the fourth floor. Not to forget that you are in a restaurant, and I can't leave out the ceramic tableware and assorted designs displayed on the tables and walls.

Its wine and cocktail list is select, and its dishes are generous. Their pizzas, pastas, salads, and desserts (their tiramisu deserves a separate post) are delicious, and I'm sure you won't be surprised considering this is Italian cuisine. You might be more interested in their speciality meats, especially their 'Bistecca a la Florentina'. Their secret, their three-metre-long barbecue, the cherry and quebracho wood they use for cooking and their cows bred by and for them in France.
