With beef sourced from renowned butcher Yves-Marie le Bourdonnec, an American pastry chef baking buns and desserts, and (finallly!) a good beer list, this new gourmet hamburger outpost is adding momentum to an already exciting burger trend.
This crêperie brings a little luxury to the genre, plus organic Bréton ingredients, a list of about 20 artisanal ciders, and Olivier Roellinger consulting. Continuous service every day.
Chef Wim Van Gorp, a Ducasse and Vongerichten veteran, brings his skills to bear on classics like oeufs mayo, pot-au-feu, chicken with morels, boeuf bourguignon, and riz-au-lait.
With Marcel comes another brunch spot with an Anglo accent, in this case both British (porridge, scones, an English breakfast) and American (fluffy blueberry pancakes, a BLT). They get it right, though, and that, plus a cool space on one of the prettiest corners on Montmartre, has made Marcel an instant hit with the locals who fill the place on the weekends, kids in tow.
If you really want to lunch as the locals do, visit this old fashioned Auvergnate casse-croute. Queue at the window for one of their legendary sandwiches, or fight your way, elbows out, into a table for a plate meaty grub and a glass of rustic wine. Bad if you’re watching your diet, good if your watching your budget.
This chic café, in an auction house just off the Champs-Elysées, offers solid renditions of could-be-in-any-major-city classics (Ceasar salad, spring rolls, pastas, club sandwiches, and even a cheeseburger), served by pretty waitresses in a beautifully designed room. A fine spot for afternoon tea.
The open kitchen at Autour d’un Verre faces a tiny dining room where neighborhood locals and natural wine geeks tuck into straightforward fare washed down with bottles of “gritty natural wine“. Gritty in a good way.
Like a couple who has decided to have kids, the former owners of L’Epigramme have moved to a larger space in the 15th, where they are continuing to serve the generous bistro cooking that brought them notice back in the 6th.
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.
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.
You’ll be surrounded by an array of tempting products if you decide to lunch at this charming canal-side épicerie. On the menu: Comforting classics, fresh salads, and a worthy brunch of salmon rillettes and scrambled eggs. Under 20 euros if you order a formule, a bit more à la carte.
The market at Les Halles is long gone, but its legacy is still in evidence at Chez Denise, an old-school, shoulder-to-shoulder, red-checked tablecloth classic. Marrow bones, steaks, frites: It’s the belly of paris, in your belly. Open until 5 a.m., Monday to Friday.
Deep in the heart of boboland, another epicerie-cum-restaurant ristorante. Shop the selection of high-quality Italian products, or reserve a table for lunch or dinner, when owner Alessandra Pietrini serves dishes like gnocchi with lamb, fried monkfish, and almond semifreddo.
