Enrico Bernardo, who won the World’s Best Sommelier title at the age of 27, has opened a beautiful new restaurant that some critics are praising as the best opening of Spring 2013.
This popular restaurant and wine bar run by Drew Harre and Juan Sanchez is a sort of Anglo haven, excellent for a quick glass, a solo dinner at the bar, or for those times when you’re just tired of speaking French.
Taillevent has reconceived their second restaurant (formerly L’Angle du Faubourg) with a focus on wine pairings. There is a 39€ menu at lunch and dinner, but à la carte prices will put you in the 50-100€ range, before le vin.
American chef Daniel Rose offers a menu that changes with the seasons, and his whim. A very tough reservation.
A small wine bar near the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont specializing in natural wines and simple, affordable food.
Housed in in the new Shangri-La hotel, this addition to Paris’ haute dining scene set critics abuzz.
Ingredient fetishists will appreciate Sven Chartier’s reverence for product, and devotees of natural wines will love Ewan Lemoigne’s list.
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.
Once upon a time, Olivier Magny ran wine tastings and classes out of his own apartment. Now he’s opened a vast, slick wine bar near Les Halles with a list of about 500 bottles and 40 glass pours.
Chef Laurent Delarbre has run the kitchen of this landmark since 2010, bringing modern sensibility to the menu while maintaining much of the restaurant’s classic repertoire, including the famous numbered ducklings.
The neo-classical pavillion that houses Ledoyen is owned by the city of Paris, which seems to make sense given that this is one of the city’s oldest and most grand restaurants.
The open kitchen at Autour d’un Verre faces a tiny dining room where neighborhood locals tuck into straightforward fare and natural wines.
If the walls at Lasserre could talk, they would tell stories about white doves, Marc Chagall, ortolan, and Audrey Hepburn, stories of glitterati and résistants taking their truffled macaroni under the retractable roof.
This is a true café, open all day long starting at 8 am. But it’s the natural wines and simple food that keep this place busy.
A no-frills bistro from Olivier Aubert, owner of La Bodeguita.
You can call Quedubon a bistro or a wine bar or a cave. All apply to this address near the Buttes Chaumont, where hearty food is washed down with natural wines from a lengthy chalkboard list.
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.
