A contemporary bistro on the Ile Saint-Louis from noted chef Antoine Westermann, where vegetables rule.
Squeeze into this tiny butcher shop for lunch and watch owner Michel Kalifa in action.
At this small, contemporary bistro near the Centre Pompidou, Chef Mickael Gaigner shows off his skills — honed in high end kitchens — at reasonable prices.
From the team behind Glou comes Jaja, a contemporary bistro featuring top notch organic products, a serious wine list, airy urban decor, and…hot dogs. Open every day.
Since 1992, chef Katsuo Nakamura has been impressing Parisians with formidable skill and quiet rigor at this tiny Ile Saint-Louis sushi bar. French critic François Simon recently called it “toujours le meilleur de Paris…”: Still the best of Paris.
This laid-back, (loosely) Spanish-themed natural wine bar serves up natural wines and small plates in a barely decorated space on an old street near Les Halles. Wines to go, too.
Brass fixtures, white tablecloths, lace curtains, a marble-topped bar and tiled floors: Benoit is a picture-postcard of a Parisian bistro, with a classic menu (escargot, foie gras, sole, cassoulet) to match. Open since 1912, it’s now part of the Ducasse group.
This self-taught modernist chef’s signature dishes include an oyster sorbet, chicken cooked with licorice root, and a “larme” (tear) of chocolate. Some critics love it, others are not convinced. But there is one thing they seem to agree on: Nothing is exactly what it seems at Claude Colliot. Menus at 54€ and 66€, or à la carte.
Cheap, messy and, according to David Lebovitz, obligatory.
This mainstay of the Jewish quarter is popular for its platters of salads, breads, and lovely terrace. Or line up for a falafel sandwich that is a worthy alternative to the always-mobbed L’As du Fallafel, just around the corner.
The biggest draw to this historic address might be the setting, a grand old room capped by, you guessed it, a giant glass dome. The menu is classic, the wine list lengthy.
