FESTIVE PARISIAN GASTRONOMY
Founded by five passionate entrepreneurs, One Life Group is inspired by the most renowned festive restaurants around the world.
In Paris, they felt the need to bring this unique atmosphere that they missed so much. Thus, their first concept, Kalamata, a fusion "Greek & Mediterranean" restaurant, was born, where authentic flavors are enhanced by chefs coming directly from Athens. This was followed by the opening of the Italian restaurant, Giulia, a true ode to La Dolce Vita. Then came Yacatan, completing the list with a restaurant highlighting the cuisine and ambiance of Latin America. In this same vision, Kalamata St-Tropez opened its doors two years ago, bringing a fresh Mediterranean breeze to the French Riviera.
​The concepts of One Life Group are distinguished by a unique combination of gastronomy and celebration. Each establishment is designed to offer not only an exceptional culinary experience but also a festive atmosphere where guests can extend their evening. Whether through music, live performances, or carefully crafted decor to transport the guests, every detail is meticulously planned to create an immersive and unforgettable atmosphere.
