Classic cooking gets a contemporary makeover at this bistro, tucked between Oberkampf and République.
Not to be confused with Au Passage or Bar Le Passage, this bare bones bistro offers a safe, 15€ lunch formula, with à la carte prices significantly higher. Open Monday.
Le Chateaubriand boasts food by Inaki Aizpitarte, a smooth marble design by Rem Koolhaas, and a great selection of affordable vins naturels.
Expertly mixed cocktails and natural wines coexist peacefully at this low-key, über-cool bar à manger.
James Henry’s small plates range from the standard charcuterie and now-obligatory burrata to more light and creative fare, based on great products from the likes of Terroirs d’Avenir and Joël Thiébault. The vibe is relaxed, the prices are right, and the wines are natural.
Chef Jean-François Renard, whose contemporary cooking gained a following at Carte Blanche, now has his own place.
Chef Bertrand Grébaut climbed the ranks at L’Arpège before going on to earn a star of his own at Agapé at the tender age of 27. He was awarded a 10,000€ grant from Evian-Badoit to realize his vision for Septime, where he said he wanted to “democratize” haute cuisine. The 26€, [...]
This little Italian épicerie-à-manger, run by the former sommelier at ‘Rino, has four tables — two in and two out — where you can eat surrounded by exquisite spices, olive oils, stacks of wine, and a touch of flea market nostalgia.Open from 10 am to 11 pm every day but Sunday, when they close at 2 pm, and Monday, with an 8:30 pm closure.
The vegetarian landscape in Paris continues to improve. In the airy, minimally decorated dining room at Soya, you’ll find the usual suspects (salads, curries, savory tarts, soy in all its forms), all organic, and an unusually thoughtful winelist.
Qui Plume la Lune is the showcase for chef Jackie Ribault’s unique brand of Franco-Japanese cooking (think foie gras sushi and matcha-crusted lamb), which is leaving some critics blissed out and others befuddled. Dinner menus at 43€, 53€. and 63€.
Olivier Aubert is doing his part to spread the vins natures gospel; Les Trois Seaux is his third opening in less than a year, after the Bodeguita versions 4eme and 9eme. The menu here includes more substantial offerings than the usual wine bar formula of cheese and charcuterie, good news for those of us incapable of learning that a night of drinking requires more sustenance than a few slices of chorizo and brebis.
This bright Italian épicerie, run by a starred chef and a food importer, serves lunch (16€ for the formula, more à la carte and à your hunger level) based on their products, including olive oils, pastas, conserves, prosciutto, and cheeses. One editor of this site wept at the site of the burrata.
It’s pizza by the kilo at this (vaguely) Roman-style spot. Bright lights, high stools and cheap wine by the carafe. Locations in Oberkampf and the upper Marais.
