An easy-going, all-day spot from Antoine Heerah.
Founding chef Pierre Jancou has moved on, but the roots remain. New chef Renaud Marcille is bringing a touch of elegance to the product-driven, market cooking, served, as always, with natural wine, inside the city’s oldest covered passage.
Yves Camdeborde’s beloved bistro, once neo and now classic. Book months in advance for weeknight, no-choice dinner, or just queue up at lunch or weekends for the so-called “brasserie menu”.
A new bistro near Pigalle serving dishes like roasted cod with fennel bulb carbonara or calf’s liver with onions and roasted garlic.
Ingredient fetishists will appreciate Sven Chartier’s reverence for product, and devotees of natural wines will love Ewan Lemoigne’s list.
Book many weeks in advance for a seat at this fantastic table d’hotes, run by a young American couple in their apartment near Palais Royal. Ten courses, including bubbly and wine pairings. OCTOBER 2011: Hidden Kitchen has closed, but you can find the pair at their new venture, Verjus.
Gregory Marchand’s contemporary market cooking has landed Frenchie on every must-go list, making reservations all but impossible. Three courses, 45€.
Brash, Basque, and belly-filling, a meal at l’Ami Jean can be coma-inducing. Reserve in advance, and plan on walking home.
Pierre Jancou is alive and well, back in Paris, militant passion intact, doing what he does best: Offering the very best products, prepared “sans chi chi,” (his words), and natural wines.
Franck Baranger’s modern bistro near Pigalle is turning out dishes like celery root soup, oyster tartare, and a standout côte de cochon. Two courses at lunch for 17€, three at dinner for 32€.
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.
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.
Deep in the heart of boboland, another epicerie-cum-restaurant ristorante.
Good ingredients in the hands of a passionate chef make this Latin Quarter address a favorite, at least among those who have heard of it.
This Sentier address offers a streamlined menu of contemporary cooking, with global accents, and (comme il faut, these days) natural wines.
The open kitchen food hall of the 104 cultural center, housed in what used to be the public morgue.
Chef Philippe Damas is showcasing the season’s best ingredients (porcinis, partridges) at this this bistro near the Canal Saint-Martin.
