Café-Restaurant
Closed for the summer from 14 to 27 August. Surrounded by artists' works, the pluto café-restaurant is the brainchild of three childhood friends: Adrien Ducousso, Pierre-Louis Hirel and chef Thomas Coupeau. On the menu: a place for culinary experimentation in tune with the seasons, from lunch to dinner!
They have turned pluto into a place of life and joy, where Coupeau's gastronomic offerings resonate with the effervescent creativity celebrated at the Fondation. The restaurant offers mischievous and delicious dishes that reflect the chef's inventiveness, celebrating flavour and curiosity as much as gourmandise.
Nestled in the unique architecture designed by Rem Koolhaas at Lafayette Anticipations, in the heart of the Marais, pluto is the new gastronomic landmark of the Parisian and international cultural scene. In this exceptional setting, in the soeil of the Fondation's hidden courtyard, or on its terrace on the quiet and discreet rue du Plâtre, you can meet artists passing through Paris, musicians at aftershows, local gallery owners and fashion lovers...
At lunchtime, the menu is relaxed and comforting; in the afternoon, you can stroll around, make appointments and enjoy coffee and pastries, followed by a visit to an exhibition or reading a magazine at the Librairie de la Fondation, just a few metres away; and in the evening, dine in iconoclastic bar and bistro mode.
In a spirit of Zen, this café-restaurant is designed by the Hugo Haas studio, with bespoke wooden furniture and elegant chairs by Danish brand Frama.
Pluto can also be transformed to accompany concerts, parties, artists' dinners and a host of Lafayette Anticipations events.

Made up of a set of thirteen photographic prints, Le temps scellé series presents a deserted landscape. The human absence suggests a disaster-stricken, even post-apocalyptic place. Dove Allouche travelled to Tallinn in Estonia to the locations for Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker (1979) to photograph the mysterious “zone” that intrigues the film’s protagonists. Nearly thirty years later, the artist captured this place using the same shots and light used by Tarkovsky. This duality highlights the permanence of the memory of a place where time seems to be frozen or “sealed” according to the title of the work. By mimetically recording Stalker’s topography, Allouche explores his favoured themes of time and the invisible while recreating the atmosphere of a place that evokes both Soviet history and the genesis of a major work of cinematic fiction.
