After success on Top Chef, and with a grant from the city of Paris (for “alimentary encouragement”), Brice Morvent opened this counter-service resto in the marché Saint Martin, serving unfussy contemporary cooking.
There’s an interesting thread going in our discussion forum on the service in Paris restaurants, one that’s asking the question, is it getting worse?
A contemporary bistro on the Ile Saint-Louis from noted chef Antoine Westermann, where vegetables rule.
This wine bar next door to (and run by) Le Chateaubriand boasts food by Inaki Aizpitarte, a smooth marble design by Rem Koolhaas and Clement Blanchet, and a great selection of affordable vins naturels
Chef Frederic Verdon (ex-Ducasse) runs the kitchen at this rooftop address just off the Champs-Elysées. Sleek and chic.
This upper Marais wine bar serves charcuterie, cheese, salads, and sandwiches to go along with 5€ glasses, or a bottle from their cave next door.
American chef Daniel Rose offers a menu that changes with the seasons, and his whim. A very tough reservation.
The smaller sibling of the grand brasserie Le Dôme, just around the corner.
This casual bistro is an annex of the well-regarded Jadis.
After working for Ducasse for seven years, Kei Kobayashi has opened an eponymous restaurant in the old Gerard Besson space, offering four or five courses at lunch (38/48€) and six or eight (75/95€) at dinner.

Yunnan cuisine of southwestern China is showcased at this bright spot in the 9th.
The hook here is cocktails and club sandwiches made with très-seventh-arrondissement fillings of king crab, Petrossian caviar, and foie gras. The Club becomes a club on the weekends, staying open until 1:30am.
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.
