Chef Manon Fleury notched up a number of experiences in prestigious kitchens (with chefs such as William Ledeuil, Pascal Barbot and Alexandre Couillon) and short-term chef residencies before opening her own restaurant. Her culinary philosophy, based on a respect for nature and human dignity, a championing of short supply chains (sourcing carefully and locally) and a zero-waste policy, stems from a genuine passion for sustainable fine dining. Dishes are primarily plant-based (fruit and vegetables feature in equal measure), with animal protein used sparingly. Her refined cooking style reveals al

Unlike many of the other restaurants in the east of Paris, this one has gone for classic elegance: a refined decor, tablecloths, stylish service. Perhaps this is the mark of the good taste of Italian couple Cecilia Spurio (pastry) and Eugenio Anfuso (cooking), who are familiar with Michelin-starred restaurants. Prepared with small pieces of citrus fruit and cashew nuts, the smoked Galician veal tartare is served in a sea urchin shell, topped with a quenelle of sea urchin ice cream. For his red mullet à la bourguignonne, the chef arranges the fish on shredded beef and cabbage leaves, the whole

FIEF is a play on words, meaning Fait Ici En France (Made Here In France) and HQ, because its chef, Victor Mercier, who rose to fame in the French Top Chef TV show in 2018, ONLY uses 100% French produce. Sichuan pepper from Gers, Soustons peanuts, Poitou pigeon, Brittany fish, Montpellier yuzu, French satay, Burgundy miso, even the ice cream is flavoured with sweet clover instead of vanilla. On the basis of this culinary ethos, the virtuoso chef flawlessly crafts flavoursome dishes flanked by gutsy sauces rich in character and personality. Take a seat at the counter to enjoy the experience clo

In the timeless atmosphere of the Place des Vosges, this famous restaurant is decorated with antique mirrors, a huge tapestry, black and white marble flooring and striking contemporary wall panels lit by red LEDs. It was here that Bernard Pacaud, a meticulous artisan, worked for so many years, indifferent to passing trends and uncompromising about the excellence of his ingredients. After training many chefs, he handed over the reins to Shintaro Awa, who was Eric Frechon's right-hand man at Le Bristol for over 10 years. The Japanese chef humbly perpetuates the spirit of the establishment (eg la

Qui plume la Lune boasts two very different interiors: one with bare stone walls and natural materials and the other a riot of colour and dried flower compositions. The chef executes a creative score that showcases the season’s finest ingredients: fillet of croaker, risotto of tapioca pearls; tender beef fillet with mash and roast celery; poached pear and muscovado sorbet. The dishes are artfully plated and indulgently served, the cooking is spot on and the flavours and seasonings exquisitely balanced: just the ticket for a good meal in a warm, elegant setting.

Kei for Kei Kobayashi, a chef born in Nagano, Japan, who trained with the likes of Gilles Goujon and Alain Ducasse. His father was a cook in a traditional kaiseki restaurant (where high-flying meals are served in small courses – akin to Western haute cuisine), but it was while watching a documentary on French cuisine that he found his vocation. Today, his work verges on perfection: in a virtuoso blend of flavours and exquisite plating, he allows high-quality ingredients to shout their name simply and stunningly. For example, binchotan lobster with sweet pepper seasoning or aged Galician beef p

The man behind Shabour is Assaf Granit, the high-profile Israeli chef. Already owner of a dozen restaurants in Jerusalem and London, he also presents Israeli TV's version of Kitchen Nightmares. He set his sights on this 17C building in a lively neighbourhood between rue Saint-Denis and rue Montorgueil. Here, we rediscover his trademarks: a lively atmosphere, rough and ready decoration with metal technical ducts visible on the ceiling, subdued lighting... and, of course, generous and surprising creative cuisine replete with Mediterranean influences, whose freshness gives it wings – for example,
