A beloved neighbourhood gem in Saint-Gilles run by Italian chef Valerio Calabrese, Racines serves deeply personal Italian cooking rooted in southern Italian tradition. The pasta is made fresh daily and the menu changes with the seasons. The room is intimate and warm, with a loyal local following. Reservations are essential and the space is small, so plan ahead.
