L’Office
Another of Paris' wonderful "neo bistros" by the up-and-coming generation of chefs committed to honest, excellent food. Gastronomic without pretension. A joy.
Plantxa
Ardent young Colombian chef trained by the best. Steadily building a reputation in Paris with a lively restaurant and creative approach to Latin cuisine.
Septime
Lauded bistro with a Michelin star. A cuisine looking to French heritage rather than trendy fusion in a relaxed setting. Booking essential.
Minipalais
One of Paris' most critically acclaimed eateries, it offers better value for money than others that cannot boast a 3-Michelin-star hero overseeing the kitchen.
Café de la Paix
It isn’t every day that you can dine somewhere designated as a historic site, but this is what you get with Café de la Paix. Made famous by the poem The Absinthe Drinkers, this is a stunning spot, designed by Alfred Armand, with interior decor only bested by the Palais Garnier opera house! The perfect place to grab a light lunch, or a sophisticated brasserie-style dinner, and soak up the beautiful, over-the-top decor. Open daily from 12pm to 3pm and 6pm to 11:30pm.
Bouillon Julien
Bouillon Julien is a classic example of the recent trend in the Paris dining scene for a return to more traditional, rustic style of cuisine. One of the most beautiful restaurants in the city, and a classic example of the Art Nouveau style, Bouillon Julien specialises in classic, hearty French cooking, in the style of les bouillons of the Belle Epoque. Beautifully decorated, with delicious, filling dishes at amazingly reasonable prices, this is a real gem and worth discovering. Open daily from 11:45am to 12am.
