The story
Virtus is a modern cuisine restaurant at 29 rue de Cotte in Paris's 12th arrondissement, and it holds one Michelin star (2026). The kitchen and dining room are run by a duo, Camille Gouyer and chef Frédéric Lorimier.
Frédéric Lorimier has led the kitchen since December 2021, after a career at Cheval Blanc Saint-Tropez under Arnaud Donckele. His cooking centers on seafood, sauces and textures. Seasonal produce and precise technique shape each plate, and the menu moves with the seasons.
The dining room has a retro-chic look inspired by the 1970s. Camille Gouyer and Lorimier aim for a mood between elegance and conviviality. Furniture and tableware are designed to belong to one overall composition with the food.
