Now open: Racines, version 2.0, featuring the same product-driven cooking as the original, in a Philippe Starck-designed space.
An Izakaya joint, serving small plates, Japanese beer and cocktails, in the heart of the touristville.
Light and bright, based on pedigreed produce, the cooking at this Menilmontant is firmly of the moment (as is the exposed brick and industrial lighting of the room).
Another taqueria, this one from the people behind Anahuacalli, a longstanding Mexican address in the Fifth.
Camélia by Thierry Marx, is the second restaurant in the new Mandarin Oriental, to his flagship Sur Mesur.
Contemporary French cooking in a polished, airy room from a couple of Grande Cascade alums, who are turning out dishes like duck foie gras with cassis gelée, a ham bouillon-based pea soup, and monkfish with gnocchi and girolles. Lunch menu, 29€; dinner, 34€; à la carte, 50ish€.
James Henry’s small plates range from the standard charcuterie and now-obligatory burrata to more light and creative fare, based on great products from the likes of Terroirs d’Avenir and Joël Thiébault. The vibe is relaxed, the prices are right, and the wines are natural.
If you want a taste of Gregory Marchand’s cooking without the challenge of scoring a reservation at Frenchie, this is where to go.
The menu at Le Petit Trianon is typical café and brasserie fare: Croques monsieur et madame, salads, and tartines. What’s atypical is the quality of the ingredients. Open 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day, continuously.
Universally praised Franco-Chinois fare from Adeline Grattard, and all but impossible to book.
Chef Jean-François Renard, whose contemporary cooking gained a following at Carte Blanche, now has his own place.
Rumor has it that the Hunanese cooking here is genuinely hot.
