Diego Alary Opens His First Restaurant in Paris as Salto Bar Debuts in Ménilmontant

The former Top Chef contestant takes a new step by moving from content to a brick-and-mortar venue. With Salto Bar (spelled SaltoBar on some communications), Diego Alary announces the opening of his first address in Paris, in the 11th arrondissement.

The information was confirmed via an Instagram post, where the chef presents Salto Bar as a place designed for sharing: nibble-sized plates, a convivial atmosphere, and a menu inspired by the Iberian Peninsula. Opening is announced for April 2026, in the Ménilmontant neighborhood.

A New Step for Culinary Creators

This opening fits into a wider trend: some culinary creators, initially identified by their ability to rally an audience, are turning their fame into a real-address project. Beyond the announcement, success will then depend on execution (consistency, quality of service, coherence of the menu) — a scaling up from content creation to daily operation.
