Eric Fréchon of the Bristol is the consulting chef of this contemporary, chic brasserie. Book a table on the terrace when weather permits. Open every day, all day.
A popular, contemporary Spanish table.
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.
Hélène Darroze is one of only a handful women whose work has been consecrated by Michelin. Her cooking is strongly accented with southwestern flavors, here elevated to one-star levels in a modern, luxe dining room, as well as the less formal “salon,” where small plates are available.
Once upon a time, Olivier Magny ran wine tastings and classes out of his own apartment. Now he’s opened a vast, slick wine bar near Les Halles with a list of about 500 bottles and 40 glass pours.
A salade landaise served as a spring roll, mini croissants with truffles and ham, sardine rillettes, crisp polenta with smoked duck: This new address from Julien Duboué of Afaria serves up a lengthy list of creative tapas for gourmand grazing.
If the walls at Lasserre could talk, they would tell stories about white doves, Marc Chagall, ortolan, and Audrey Hepburn, stories of glitterati and résistants taking their truffled macaroni under the retractable roof.
This is a true café, open all day long starting at 8 am. But it’s the natural wines and simple food that keep this place busy.
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.
Join the rest of the neighborhood here on Sunday afternoons for a post-market glass of wine (direct from the barrel), a plate of cheese or charcuterie or, in winter, a dozen oysters. Bottles to go, too.
A bistro with contemporary touches, in the old Chez Maitre Paul space.
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.
The open kitchen food hall of the 104 cultural center, housed in what used to be the public morgue.
Le Dôme, with its sparkling platters of fruits de mer, remains an address for power lunches and tourists looking to rub shoulders with Hemingway’s ghost while getting their fill of zinc and iodine.
Luxury and history come together at Laurent, where you can dine in the former hunting lodge of Louis XIV or, better yet, at a table in the garden. Fine dining, fine setting.
“Pas comme les autres,” is the motto at kitschy cool Pink Flamingo Pizza, and they aren’t kidding. Take-out and delivery available at all locations.
Lebanese goes chic (et un peu cher) at Liza.
