Taem: Where Artisan Butchery Meets Fire-Grilled Excellence in Paris
Taem's culinary approach is refreshingly focused: take exceptional meat, age it properly, and grill it to perfection. The restaurant specializes in French cuisine with meat as the undisputed star, sourcing all proteins from carefully selected artisan producers who maintain high standards of animal welfare and quality.
The aging process is central to Taem's philosophy. By allowing meats to mature under controlled conditions, the restaurant develops deeper flavors and more tender textures in each cut. This traditional technique, combined with modern sourcing practices, ensures that every piece of meat that reaches your plate has been treated with respect and expertise.
The Josper charcoal barbecue is the kitchen's centerpiece and the key to Taem's distinctive flavor profile. This specialized piece of equipment, beloved by chefs worldwide, combines the intense heat of a grill with the even cooking of an oven. It reaches temperatures up to 400°C (750°F), creating a perfect sear that locks in juices while imparting a subtle charcoal flavor that enhances rather than overwhelms the natural taste of the meat. The result is meat that's beautifully caramelized on the outside while remaining tender and juicy within.
The menu focuses on showcasing different cuts and preparations, allowing the quality of the meat and the skill of the grilling to shine. Whether you prefer beef, pork, lamb, or other proteins, you'll find options that highlight the characteristics of each cut. The restaurant's butcher shop background means they understand how to select, prepare, and cook each piece to bring out its best qualities.
For those who want to recreate the experience at home, Taem offers takeaway options and Click and Collect service through Tastycloud, allowing you to purchase their quality meats and enjoy them in your own kitchen.
