Monocle highlights three new Parisian dining spots popular during fashion week. Toy, a minimalist ramen bar near Place de la Bastille, occupies the former Dersou space and offers four broths including a cold ramen for heatwaves. Fumo, a pop-up in Le Marais running until 20 September, serves savory ice creams like pickle sorbet by guest chef Tessa Ponzo, paired with kombucha from Archipel. Bagarre Coffee Club, opened this spring in the 11th arrondissement, features boxing-themed decor and specialty coffee from roaster Tanat, plus matcha from Uji and vegan drinks like Cloud Matcha.
