Sushi Shunei

Japanese, Sushi · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Located on Montmartre’s hill, this joint sports an elegant, minimalist interior that celebrates the aesthetic codes of Japanese restaurants: light wooden furnishings, a long counter and an amazing origami-inspired ceiling by an interior design firm. Chizuko Kimura and the Sushi master Takeshi Morooka pursue the legacy of Shunei Kimura, who made this eatery such a success. The omakase menu comes in two versions, which must be chosen when you book. Both embark the diner on a genuine sensorial experience courtesy of razor-sharp nigiris, a truly exceptional selection of fish, expert handiwork and

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

In a lively, working-class enclave, this place serves good contemporary cuisine. Talented chef Thibaut Spiwack, whose CV includes Michelin-starred kitchens, finds original ways to showcase produce from the Paris region. The emphasis is on sustainable development and a desire to challenge the codes of gastronomy. Attractive set menu plus a few à la carte options at lunchtime; in the evening, a single set menu with several courses. A moment of gastronomic pleasure.

Maison Dubois

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

The house spirit reigns supreme in this intimate fine dining restaurant with six tables and a confidential feel. Suffice to say, chef Arthur Dubois – who has clocked up experience in the restaurants of Jacques Maximin, Éric Frechon and Pierre Gagnaire, where he was sous-chef for several years – is in the business of the bespoke. Carefully selected ingredients, tried and tested know-how, impeccable technique: the chef is a dab hand at putting a new spin on classic cuisine. Indeed, the influence of his mentor on rue Balzac makes itself felt in his penchant for "satellite" variations on a theme,

Sushi Yoshinaga

This exceptional restaurant has left nothing to chance: ceramics designed by a Japanese artist, rosewood chopsticks set out on a small cedar tray, maple wood panelling and soft lighting. Sushi master Tomoyuki Yoshinaga crafts a feast of outstanding fish, including different varieties of fatty tuna, which he surgically prepares and seasons – all for the benefit of no more than 10 diners at a time. This culinary performance of high-flying precision covers textures, maturations, serving temperatures and a vast array of flavours depending on the omakase menu. We also noticed and applauded more per

Le Bristol is the quintessence of luxury, from its spa suites and superb formal garden to its rooftop pool and dining area with Louis XVI furnishings, mirrors, and tall French windows looking out onto the greenery. In the kitchen of the flagship restaurant, Arnaud Faye errs towards minimalism with his light and refined preparations – a purity of flavours that does not preclude generosity in the dishes. The ingredients are of course excellent, the cooking techniques and temperatures flawless; the bread is made on the premises from heirloom wheat varieties, the sauces are light yet highly concen

Le Grand Restaurant - Jean-François Piège

€€€€

Welcome to Jean-François Piège's "laboratory of great cuisine", a tiny dining area beneath a sculptural ceiling made up of panes of glass that catch and reflect the light. The chef gives full expression to the scope and breadth of his experience and know-how, executing timeless signature cuisine that finds its source in the annals of French gastronomy (the chef is said to own one of the finest cookery libraries of Paris). There is no carte but a tasting menu that tours the regions of France and revolves around Piège’s "mijotés modernes". This consummate chef demonstrates his creative talent an

Akrame

€€€€

(Temporarily closed for renovations) A stone’s throw from La Madeleine district, Akrame Benallal, a live wire if ever there was, operates in a surprisingly secretive establishment, hidden by a huge coach gateway. A fan of Pierre Soulages’ work, the fashionably trendy, cutting-edge interior is dominated by black, enhanced by a few photos and sculptures… The menu shines the spotlight on first-class ingredients, inventive recipes and carefully crafted dishes; the “carte blanche” menus are a treasure trove of bold surprises.

Just a well-heeled step from the Champs-Élysées, this restaurant is set in the swish, swanky La Réserve, a 19C Napoleon III-style mansion refurbished by renowned interior designer, Jacques Garcia. The dining room is clad in magnificent materials, such as Spanish gilt leather and Versailles parquet flooring. Jérôme Banctel affirms his distinctive culinary personality with two tasting menus: "Virée", a tribute to his native Brittany, and "Périple", an invitation to travel the world – taking in Japan, as well as Turkey, where the chef discovered the incomparable textures produced by cooking in li
