WASL 1880
Wasl 1880: A Culinary Masterpiece in the Heart of Paris's 8th Arrondissement
Nestled within the elegant 8th arrondissement of Paris, at the crossroads of Rue de Constantinople, Rue de Rome, and Rue d’Édimbourg—an apt point of wasl or “connection”—Wasl 1880 offers a dining experience that is both intimate and exclusive. With just 22 seats, this refined bistro brings French and Mediterranean flavors together, creating an exquisite harmony of tastes that captivates the senses.
Wasl, meaning "the point of connection," embodies the very essence of this family-run venture. The restaurant is the creation of siblings Chef Nader and his sister Daleen, a celebrated journalist and TV presenter. Their vision is deeply rooted in a shared passion for food that has been passed down through generations. Both their father and mother were esteemed chefs de cuisine, and Chef Nader continues this proud legacy. The family’s culinary tradition extends beyond Paris, with two other brothers running successful restaurants in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Brussels.
