About Atica

Nestled in the heart of Paris's 5ᵉ arrondissement, between the Panthéon and Notre-Dame, ATICA takes up residence in a historic former cinema. Once known as Cinema Le Seine, this iconic venue hosted the very first screening of Alice in Wonderland in 1951, an evocative legacy for a space designed as a gateway to other worlds.

Much more than a restaurant, ATICA is an immersive experience where gastronomy and art become one. Each season is an invitation to discover a new culture. The Basque season takes guests on a journey between tradition and modernity, while the Corsican season sets sail for an island of rugged beauty, warm hospitality and generous Mediterranean cuisine.

Even before the meal begins, guests are invited to discover a selection of art and design objects, all inspired by a passion for travel. An olfactory experience awakens the senses from the very first moments, laying the foundations for the journey to come. The dinner then unfolds in cinematic acts, each introduced by an audiovisual projection that transports guests through breathtaking landscapes and the stories of remarkable artisans. Each dish is conceived in perfect harmony with the projected images, creating a fluid dialogue between taste, sight and narration.

Founder: Ramzi Saade

ATICA is the fruit of Ramzi Saade's vision. Ramzi has chosen to dedicate his life to creating unforgettable moments. With Atica, he unites his passions - gastronomy, culture and travel - to imagine unique, immersive experiences around the world. Through exclusive events, artistic collaborations and innovative concepts, he pushes the boundaries of hospitality. His visionary approach creates encounters where every detail tells a story. Prior to Atica, he led a dual career between engineering and gastronomy, working in avant-garde restaurants in Canada and Copenhagen, while realizing architectural projects in Canada and Lebanon.

Anchored in seasonality, ATICA celebrates the passage of time through its changing cultural experiences, menus, art exhibitions and wine cellar. Even in the midst of change, the soul of the place remains intact: to offer an experience that invites each guest to enter the living pulse of a culture.
