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.
Camélia by Thierry Marx, is the second restaurant in the new Mandarin Oriental, to his flagship Sur Mesur.
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 free-for-all that can feel a bit like a tourist zoo at times. At worst, it’s sloppy and hectic. At best, it’s delicious.
Universally praised Franco-Chinois fare from Adeline Grattard, and all but impossible to book.
Rumor has it that the Hunanese cooking here is genuinely hot.
A bustling Chinese canteen, known especially for dim sum.
This little Italian épicerie-à-manger, run by the former sommelier at ‘Rino, has four tables — two in and two out — where you can eat surrounded by exquisite spices, olive oils, stacks of wine, and a touch of flea market nostalgia.Open from 10 am to 11 pm every day but Sunday, when they close at 2 pm, and Monday, with an 8:30 pm closure.
The vegetarian Tamil cooking at Krishna Bhavan is generous, aromatic, colorful, and cheap. Open every day from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Part of the new wave of cafés, Coutume offers serious coffee drinks, plus lunch, brunch, and a selection of pastries from Pâtisserie de Rêves.
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.
Celebrity chef Cyril Lignac took over this historic bistro in 2008, and while he’s something of a pretty boy, the real looker is the room itself, with its painted ceiling and curvy woodwork. On the menu? A more-or-less classic mix of bistro favorites — steak with bearnaise, pommes dauphines — which, if well-executed, don’t bear much of a personal signature. (Except, perhaps, in the prices.)
Oysters and a wide array of fruits de mer, in an airy blue and white room that will take you from Batignolles to the Brittany coast.
Piping hot pies with fresh toppings, industrial loft décor, and cold cocktails from the full bar draw the branché masses to this pizza place between République and Bastille.
There must be at least one marriage proposal at the Jules Verne every day. Perched high in the Eiffel Tower, the restaurant was taken over by Ducasse, and his chef Pascal Féraud offers a menu of classics, befitting of the location (foie gras in many forms, escargots, tournedos de boeuf, Bresse chicken, savarin a l’Armagnac). The only thing missing might be a view of the tower itself. One Michelin star.
