FROM MY ROOTS

The story of Alegrías,

Mexican restaurant in Paris 11

I am Jeanett Rosales GALÁN, a young Mexican chef from Guadalajara, in the state of Jalisco, the birthplace of tequila.

 

With François VELTIN, we founded Alegrias, a Mexican restaurant in Paris 11 born from a common project, built over time, between passion, demand and deep attachment to my roots.

 

After several years in Paris, opening a Mexican restaurant in Paris has become obvious: offering sincere cuisine, faithful to its origins, while inscribing it in a contemporary vision.

Contemporary Mexican cuisine in Paris

At Alegrias, our ambition is not to create a simple taqueria, nor to offer a fusion cuisine.

We defend a contemporary Mexican cuisine, rooted in traditions, but designed for today.

 

Mexican cuisine, a member of humanity's intangible cultural heritage, is a living heritage. Through our dishes, we wish to participate in the transmission of this know-how, by honouring the techniques, products and flavours of Mexico.

 

Our homemade tacos in Paris, as well as our entire menu, reflect this desire: to respect authenticity while providing a modern and creative reading.

Located in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, a stone's throw from République, Oberkampf and Canal Saint Martin, Alegrias is part of a lively, creative neighbourhood open to the world.

This choice of location was naturally imposed: an ideal place to discover demanding, accessible and friendly Mexican cuisine.

Whether to enjoy tacos in Paris, share a moment with friends or discover another vision of Mexican gastronomy, our restaurant is designed as a place of exchange and discovery.

A culinary and cultural experience

Beyond the plate, Alegrias is an invitation to travel.

Each dish tells a story, each recipe is a personal link between Mexico and me.

Our goal: to offer a true Mexican culinary experience in Paris, where tradition, creativity and conviviality meet.
