Creative, bistronomic cuisine
following the rhythm of the seasons
Located in Paris's 3rd arrondissement, Elmer is a restaurant blending fine dining with a modern bistro spirit centered on the shared experience of wood-fired cooking. Chef Simon Horwitz and his team prepare rotisserie-roasted meats and barbecue-grilled fish, creating inventive dishes that evolve with the seasons and the day's freshest arrivals.
The ingredients are sourced from small-scale French producers prioritizing organic and eco-responsible practices specifically selected for their suitability for the spit and the embers. As for the wine cellar, a collection of over 800 labels from across France is available to pair with every dish.
The open kitchen and wood-fired rotisserie
Here, nothing is hidden: the kitchen opens onto the dining area, and the rotisserie takes center stage. You can see, hear, and smell the fire from your table. Cuts of meat turn slowly on the spit, away from the flames, while the glowing embers take over to sear, mark, and smoke them. Every step of the cooking process is controlled to the exact degree and minute without automation because the fire shifts and the produce is never quite the same.
A modern setting in the heart of the 3rd arrondissement, with a terrace.
A spacious, light-filled dining room with a modern aesthetic where wood and metal complement the bare tabletops and a terrace that extends the dining experience during warmer weather. Elmer is located at 30 Rue Notre-Dame de Nazareth, just steps from République, Arts-et-Métiers, and Le Temple, on the edge of the Haut Marais.
It is a neighborhood that draws both locals and passersby, a place to enjoy a weekday lunch or a Saturday night dinner. Find details on nearby stations, walking times, and parking on our access and neighborhood page.
