This new eat-in epicerie and wine shop from the owners of the classic Astier offers classic comfort food, to stay or to go, at reasonable prices.
A crowd queues at this sliver of a taqueria off the canal for Claudia and Alejandro’s tacos, burritos and quesadillas. There are only two stools in the tiny place, so plan on taking it to go.
This bustling annex of Chez Michel offers hearty seasonal cooking and a heavy dose of old Paris charm. Open weekdays for lunch and dinner with menus at 22€ and 29€, and from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays with 25€, all-you-can-eat brunch.
The Ducasse group runs this longstanding address for Lyon-style cooking.
Almost universally adored, this tiny spot, hidden from the street, is the Italian restaurant everyone wishes were in their neighborhood.
Christophe Beaufront’s neo-bistro has been a stronghold of the Buttes aux Cailles neighborhood since opening more than ten years ago.
Ralph Lauren brings the beef to Saint-Germain, along with clam chowder, cheesecake and other iconic American dishes.
Impeccable ingredients, simple prep, cool atmosphere and great prices make Cul de Poule the butt to beat.
The city’s most buttery, authentic crêpes served (with zero irony) in an old-school dining room full of dark wood and Breton lace.
The fact that it’s named for a Nick Cave song hints that this is a crêperie that’s cooler than most. Cool? Yes. And tasty.
Well-sourced products plus unlikely Japanese touches put Breizh Café head and shoulders above most crêperies.
Eggs rule the roost at this sunny spot in Saint-Germain, where brunch is not only for Sundays.
Though the breezy service and long counter are reminiscent of an American diner, they are not slinging hash at Christian Constant’s Les Cocottes. An easy, no-reservations choice in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.
Christian Constant is the unofficial mayor of rue St. Dominique. His casual, no-reservations café is open all day, starting at 8 in the morning.
At Le Relais de L’Entrecôte, the choices are steak or steak, and the supply of golden fries is unending. Which is how the line to be seated will seem unless you go early. Three locations.
You can’t talk about “la bistronomie” without mentioning La Régalade.
