situated in saint germain in paris' left bank, an area made famous thanks to philosophers such as jean paul sartre, albert camus and simone de beauvoir discussing existentialism in its coffee shops, is sir terence conran's restaurant mezzanine de l'alcazar. a firm favourite amongst paris' cultured, jet setting bon vivants and stylish gastronomes, mezzanine de l'alcazar sits comfortably in revitalised, modern day saint german, where you'll find the lively latin quarter and couture fashion boutiques. in a city famed for gourmet dining, mezzanine de l'alcazar is paris' destination restaurant: the place to see and be seen in, and that's down to sir terence conran, the leading british designer of his generation's, trademark elegance and fastidious attention to detail. conran's transformed the former 17th century royal tennis court and cross-dressing cabaret venue, into a split-level restaurant and a 12-metre glass roof bathes mezzanine de l'alcazar in light, air and space. dining at mezzanine de l'alcazar is a multi-sensory experience: its classic french-mediterranean and english cuisine with a twist that whets the palate, and simultaneously sparks your sense of smell and touch; exhibitions from world-renowned photographers (including japan's most famous lens man nobuyoshi araki) catch your gaze as djs including michael canitrot (so happy in paris), who's conceived sound designs for dior, cartier, versace, and prada, nourish your ears with delicate disco and luscious soulful house. as the restaurant's resident dj, it's fitting that canitrot helms cd2 (dance) of this compilation. canitrot, with discerning discretion, explores deep, soul-stirring house music (ananda project, king unique, quentin harris), home grown french talent (yass, julien jabre) and a nod to his true disco passion (hercules and the love affair). defected records guide the opening cd (dinner) through smooth sexy soul (gwen mccrae), nu-jazz reworks of hip hop classics (visioneers), northern english funk (only child, electrons) to quirky european balearic beats and electronica (metro area, booka shade and playgroup). rarely have music and food - two of life's most simple, yet wondrous and indulgent, pleasures - been combined with such astuteness, subtlety and sophistication.
