We don’t recommend visiting the Eiffel tower without a solid plan for eating, whether to fortify yourself for the wait or to restore your sanity after the harrowing elevator ride. Here are some tables to consider that don’t require a crosstown trip.
L’Ambroisie vet Akihiro Horikoshi does everything at this 16-seat jewel box in the 7th.
Alain Milliat’s exquisite fruit juices, nectars, and conserves line the walls of this boutique-cum-restaurant, serving a no-choice menu at lunch and dinner, operating as a tea salon in the afternoons, and open for shopping all day.
This luxe 7th arrondissement café is decent for a drink — or a hot chocolate — between shopping and museum-going.
The hook here is cocktails and club sandwiches made with très-seventh-arrondissement fillings of king crab, Petrossian caviar, and foie gras. The Club becomes a club on the weekends, staying open until 1:30am.
Don’t miss the single-origin chocolate mousse bar at Chapon.
Simply one of the most beautiful (and expensive) fromageries in Paris.
One of the most elegant cheese shops in Paris, Marie-Anne Cantin also offers cheese tasting classes.
This historic cheese shop has several locations around Paris.
Mistress of cheese Marie Quatrehomme received the M.O.F. designation — Meilleur Ouvrier de France — in 2000.
A tiny Basque joint from the duo behind Les Fables de la Fontaine.
Baker Gilles Levaslot finished 6th in the 2011 Grand Prix de la Baguette.
This perennially popular bistro serves classics like foie gras mi-cuit, steak tartare, and brandade de morue.
Collector Rémi Flachard offers a treasure trove of out-of-print and antique cookbooks, plus restaurant and banquet menus from bygone eras. A delight.
Michel Chaudun is, simply, a master.
The food hall of department store Le Bon Marché, offering fresh food and fine groceries for chic one-stop shopping.
Brash, Basque, and belly-filling, a meal at l’Ami Jean can be coma-inducing. Reserve in advance, and plan on walking home.
