This Michelin one-star is in a grand pavilion in the Bois de Boulogne.
Craving a little heat? Head to this address for chili-laden Hunanese fare. If you want their chicken Zuo Zang-tong — General Tso’s chicken — be sure to call a day in advance and let them know.
Benoit Gauthier’s Le Grand Pan unfussily and deliciously serves up superb meats and market-fresh vegetables. If only every neighborhood had a bistro this good…
It’s true that Rosa Bonheur serves food, both small plates and simple plats du jour. But the reason the place is packed is because it is perched in a privileged spot at the top of the lush Parc des Buttes Chaumonts, with a sprawling terrace and a fine view. The mood goes from picnic to party as the day progresses, but there’s always plenty of bonheur.
Ralph Lauren brings the beef to Saint-Germain, along with clam chowder, cheesecake and other iconic American dishes.
Facing a very pretty square, Drouant has been around since 1880. Now run by Antoine Westermann, the menu offers elegantly updated classics with an emphasis on seafood.
Petter Nilsson’s inspired, eclectic cooking draws eaters from all corners of Paris to this very good looking address near the marché d’Aligre.
By day, Olivier Camus runs one of the most respected caves of natural wine in the city. In the evenings, it becomes a table d’hôte. A Wed-Sat prix-fixe dinner offers four no-choice courses for 31.50€, and Sunday nights are à la carte.
The city’s most buttery, authentic crêpes served (with zero irony) in an old-school dining room full of dark wood and Breton lace.
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.
Guillaume Duprés runs this wine bar in the passage des Panoramas, serving a range of small plates for snackers, a few hot items for the hungry, and vins natures for the thirsty.
Round up a group and get thee to Olio Pane Vino for handmade pasta dishes and Francesco’s unmistakably Italian hospitality.
Updated comfort food (conceived by Alain Senderens) is on the menu at Mama Shelter, a mod boutique hotel that could exist in any major city. Far from central Paris, the rooms are surprisingly affordable. Brunch, at 39€ a head, is less so.
When only organic and environmentally responsible vegetarian pizza delivered on a skateboard or electric scooter will do, there’s Green Pizz.
The more elegant sibling of Willi’s Wine Bar, Maceo’s grand, light filled dining room on the edge of the Palais Royale has plenty of romantic appeal. Thierry Bourbonnais offers elegant, seasonal cooking — there is even a vegetarian menu — and the wine list runs deep. Large tables and rooms available for private booking make this a good choice for groups.
