Pierre Gagnaire is widely regarded as one of the city’s most creative culinary wizards.
Alain Passard spins turnips into gold at this vegecentric (but not vegetarian) three star restaurant.
Alain Ducasse’s flagship at the Plaza Athénée remains a bastion of French gastronomy.
La Table de Joël Robuchon is now closed. Look for Robuchon at his other Paris locations, L’Atelier Etoile de Joël Robuchon, and L’Atelier Saint-Germain de Joël Robuchon.
Crêpes up front and pork (Ibaïona) in the rear. It’s standing room only at Yves Camdeborde’s tapas and wine bar, a hit since it opened in fall of 2009. Go during the off hours or be prepared to be get to know the person next to you very, very well.
Guy Savoy’s excellent service and reliably fine food have fostered a loyal local and international clientele. Note: Savoy will soon be relocating the the Left Bank.
KGB is the offshoot of fusion master William Ledeuil’s Kitchen Galerie, offering the same mash up of global flavors that made him famous, in small plate format and at lower prices.
You can only reserve for the first seating at Le Chateaubriand. After that, you’ll have to wait in line with everyone else for a stab at Iñaki Aizpitarte’s unique 50€ menu.
Though the breezy service and long counter are reminiscent of an American diner, they are not slinging hash at Christian Constant’s Les Cocottes. An easy, no-reservations choice in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.
Christian Constant is the unofficial mayor of rue St. Dominique. His casual, no-reservations café is open all day, starting at 8 in the morning.
The brasserie reinvented, by Jean-François Piège.
East meets west at William Ledeuil’s much-lauded Ze Kitchen Galerie.
Pretend the financial crisis never happened, and book Les Ambassadeurs, where the very young chef Christophe Hache is making a name for himself.
Above bustling Thoumieux, his brasserie gourmande, Jean-François Piège has opened an intimate 20-seat showcase for his creative, modern French cooking. Michelin awarded 2 stars within months of his opening.
The gastronomic table at Le Bristol hotel has been renamed, but revered chef Eric Frechon remains at the stove. The dining room has been renovated, too, offering a view onto the hotel gardens. Three Michelin stars.
