Primarily a concept born from the love of the best Mediterranean foods, Fuxia is a restaurant chain that also exists in Paris. The place includes both a restaurant and an Italian deli/gourmet shop. The restaurant cooks up three or four different dishes each day, so the menu varies daily. Its good food and the service staff is very friendly. Creative, hearty dishes can also be ordered as specials (formulae express lunchtime only on weekdays or formula aperitif: antipasti and two glasses of wine). The terrace is heated in winter, perfect to enjoy a limoncello sorbet any time of the year!
