And culinary discoveries aren't the only surprises FANFAN has in store. The plates are true works of art. They are as beautiful as they are amazing. An atypical food-drink pairing completes the offer - Here, we are far from the classic offer of French wines. We continue to discover fusion with a selection of wines but also - originality of the house - cocktails, sake or even Japanese whiskeys.
