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.
Akrame Benallal’s second restaurant L’Atelier Vivanda is all about the meat. Angus beef, Challans birds and baby lambs are padded by classic starters, accompaniments and desserts in the 35€ prix fixe. Exceptional products, like a 45 day-aged côte de bœuf are available for those willing to pay a supplement.
Pierre Jancou has relaunched Vivant Table with chef Sota at the helm and more ambitious menus at 25/45€ (lunch) and 50/70€ (dinner). The wine remains all-natural, but the cooking is better than ever and an absolute steal at lunch.
In the old La Table de Joël Robuchon location, Les Tablettes reopens with a new chef (Jean-Louis Nomicos) and a pop attitude.
American chef Daniel Rose offers a menu that changes with the seasons, and his whim. A very tough reservation.
Housed in in the new Shangri-La hotel, this addition to Paris’ haute dining scene set critics abuzz.
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”.
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.
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.
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). One Michelin star.
Pierre Gagnaire’s thoroughly modern seafood spot.
Joël Robuchon’s empire expands again with the opening of another Atelier, this time on the Champs Elysées. This one is bigger than the left bank outpost, with an actual dining room in addition to the trademark counter seating.
Pascal Barbot continues to impress diners (those who manage to get a reservation) with a culinary high wire act that is both grounded and innovative, French and global, serious and playful.
Critics continue to wax poetic over chef Yannick Alleno’s astounding cooking at this bastion of fine dining. A Michelin 3-star.
The original L’Atelier, in what’s now a global empire.
This self-taught modernist chef’s signature dishes include an oyster sorbet, chicken cooked with licorice root, and a “larme” (tear) of chocolate.
