Kwerk Saint-Honoré, 18 rue de Courcelles, París

I went there for an evening. The rooftop is great and the ground floor is very good for the rest of the evening with a kitchen.

We were invited by my brother G. for lunch at Kwerk's Dana restaurant. Dana is located in a most inconspicuous location, on the main floor of what looks like an office building. The restaurant interior is decorated with what I could best describe as a modern version of Art Nouveau. It also has a private outdoor terrace, for al fresco dining. Upon arrival, we were greeted by front-of-the-house chief Jean-Michel, who gave us a choice of indoor or outdoor (terrace) dining. The restaurant clientele appears to be mostly business people and consequently, the tables are spaced enough to conduct private conversations without being overhead. Chef Lais introduced the menu, composed of French-Brazilian fusion dishes. Our appetizers were as unique as they were tasty, made with a mix of Brazilian ingredients which I cannot remember and French techniques. For mains, we shared veal and aubergine dishes, both delicious and artfully presented. In short, Dana is discreet and central, the service impeccable and personal. The food is unique and the setup ideal for a quiet, private meeting. Later that day, we witnessed a fly over by the Patrouille de France, rehearsing for the 14th of July parade. This was our first meal in Paris and what a great opener for this trip. Well done, Jean-Michel & Lais! 2026-02-10 Update: Front of the House boss Jean-Michel provided the same top-level service, Chef Lais still impressive with her seasonal menu.

The building covers an area of ​​over 6,000 square meters, including outdoor spaces such as terraces and the rooftop. The lobby design, based on the concept of a "sleeping forest" under the direction of designer Albert Angel, extends from the entrance hall to the upper floors. It seems somewhat incongruous that in an office center, where movement and communication are prevalent, the "sleeping forest" concept was chosen, with its dry branches, withered grass, and empty nests, as if it were an inanimate forest abandoned by its inhabitants. The interior is also dark and gloomy, with dim lighting, making it more conducive to sleep than active pursuits. The entrance area is defined by the architectural element "Bamboo Canopy"—a bamboo canopy over ten meters high. Among the lobby's features, I particularly liked the dining options: a restaurant and a tea room located within the lobby. The restaurant, named Dana, serves Brazilian-French cuisine. The name is inspired by Sanskrit and means gift or donation. Entry to the restaurant and the center itself is restricted to those who work here or have come for a meeting with office staff. The reception staff are very careful to ensure that passersby do not disturb the "Sleeping Forest" Kingdom and are extremely vigilant.

An oasis of calm, design, and well-being in the heart of Paris Kwerk Saint-Honoré is much more than just a coworking space: it's a true experience. From the moment you enter, you're struck by the meticulous attention to interior design—a skillful blend of modernity, art, and touches of greenery that invites concentration and creativity. The workspaces are bright, fully equipped, and designed to foster both focus and collaboration. A genuine philosophy is evident in every detail: here, people and inspiration take center stage. But the real highlight is the Dana restaurant. Healthy, inventive, and elegant cuisine—both light and indulgent. The chef offers seasonal dishes with Mediterranean and Asian influences, always impeccably executed. The service is attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere is soothing. It's the perfect place for a business lunch or a well-deserved break. A huge congratulations to the Kwerk team for creating such a harmonious space, where work and well-being coexist naturally. A model of balance between professional demands and quality of life.
