Asheville’s culinary scene keeps leveling up, and one of the most exciting arrivals in 2026 is Le Parisien — a new French restaurant bringing classic Parisian flavors to downtown. Located at 62 North Lexington Avenue just across the street from DSSOLVR Beer Co., one of Asheville’s best-kept secrets for craft brews on the North Slope, Le Parisien promises to be a standout addition to Lexington Ave. and the entire foodie community.
Le Parisien will occupy the former Bouchon space — a beloved local French comfort food spot — and is being led by Chef Gabriel Attala, a Paris native with experience working in Michelin-starred kitchens in France. Chef Attala is known for his refined technique, eye for detail, and commitment to high-quality ingredients, bringing authentic French cuisine to Asheville with a modern but approachable twist.
The restaurant aims to offer an elevated dining experience rooted in timeless French technique, hospitality, and thoughtful service — but without the formality often associated with traditional fine dining. Expect dishes that celebrate French flavors, seasonal produce, and a menu that showcases both classic favorites and creative new interpretations.
Being right across from DSSOLVR adds another layer of appeal. South Slope is already one of Asheville’s most vibrant food and drink districts, known for excellent breweries, lively patios, and an energetic walkable neighborhood. Le Parisien’s arrival not only enhances that experience but also brings a taste of Paris to a section of downtown that continues to evolve as a culinary destination.
For Asheville Foodies, Le Parisien is a restaurant to watch in 2026 — one that blends international technique with local spirit, right in the heart of a community that loves both great food and great beer.
