Previously, Julien Sebbag and his team cooked exclusively for his clients in heir own homes. But that was before. Before the rise of this business school graduate who distinguished himself through a flood of posts Instagram, the network he used frenetically to promote himself. Before the phone call from the Moma Group with its propensity for creating out-of-the-ordinary event events and experiences. Thanks to Benjamin Patou, its founder, Julien Sebbag now works and plays at home. On the upper floor of the Bus Palladium to be more precise. His “Chez Oim” is only open on Tuesday evenings, but he ignites passions. Indeed, the chef, who is barely 27 years old, adds a whole new dimension to the adjective “passionate”. His love he brings to his food is palpable. Explosive. In his speech, in his eyes, in his gestures. He doesn’t prevaricate. He doesn’t hide. On the contrary! At Chez Oim, the guests enjoy a real relationship with him. Like the one that binds a host and his guests when he entertains at home. So, his guests are present at the birth of the Israeli-inspired dishes on the menu, which changes every week according to seasonal arrivals. The produce is presented in its purest form before their very eyes. Before being handled, massaged, detailed, heated (a veritable vocabulary of intimacy…) then served sublimely, often directly at the table, by the Parisian, who doesn’t hesitate to throw himself wholeheartedly into to the service as he progresses, blowtorch and saucepan in hand, above our heads. The result on the plate is as enjoyable as the dining room. Generous, delicious and whimsical. Sensual (oh yes). A glorious festival that goes on and on, once the service is complete, with music until dawn. Julien Sebbag has given us fair warning: “We’re going to turn Wednesday into a public holiday.”
