About
Afaria welcomes guests in the heart of Paris’s 15th arrondissement, a neighborhood known for its calm streets and vibrant culinary scene. Set on 15 Rue Desnouettes, the restaurant is housed in a charming, timber‑lined building that blends classic French elegance with subtle Basque warmth. Possessing its own boutique terrace, Afaria offers diners a relaxed, picturesque setting to enjoy freshly prepared dishes, a curated wine list, and a friendly, attentive staff.

Tasting menus are available for groups, presenting a curated array of tasting bites that highlight the restaurant’s culinary creativity and emphasis on natural flavors. Beyond the cuisine, Afaria’s ambience is part of its charm: a parquet‑lined dining room, warm lighting, and a well‑maintained terrace overlooking the city. The wine program, boasting over two hundred selections ranging from Bordeaux classics to rare Basque vintages, caters to both casual drinkers and connoisseurs. The staff’s willingness to describe dishes and provide pairing suggestions enhances the overall dining experience, making Afaria a favorite spot for both first‑time visitors and regular patrons.
