The charismatic and heavily tattooed Guillaume Sanchez crafts fiery, flame-licked cuisine in a stylish arty interior, dominated by black and gold and a profusion of untreated materials. Sanchez’ powerful yet balanced score is emblematic of his flamboyant personality. The chef has a knack for wielding explosive flavours: spicy kimchi on red mullet, horseradish sauce on crushed langoustine or herby lovage oil drizzled onto a “trou normand” (a mid-meal palate cleanser). Cold-steamed extractions and fermented vegetables set the scene and the chef works exclusively with stellar, purebred Gallic pro

Kei

Modern Cuisine, Creative · ★★★ Michelin

€€€€

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

L'Altro Frenchie

Grégory Marchand strikes again with his eclectic take on dining! In this modern Italian-style bistro, diners will also detect the British and American influences of which the chef is so fond. On the menu: a crudo misto with a series of ingenious vegetable condiments, classic dishes like pappardelle with rabbit or a must-try cotoletta alla milanese (veal chop for two). As for the chocolate cake, it is a homage to the recipe devised by Jamie Oliver at London's River Café. The wines are supplied by Frenchie, the wine shop just next door.

Sushi Yoshinaga

Japanese · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

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

Shabour

€€€€

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,

"Accents tell us where someone is from and about their country, their region and their history. It is this idea of openness and discovery that I want to champion, a cuisine made up of encounters and exchanges," declares Ayumi Sugiyama, the Japanese owner and head pastry chef of this contemporary, Scandinavian-styled restaurant. Chef Romain Mahi's score is a combination of purebred classicism with more daring creations and subtle experiments with roasted aromas and smoky flavours: tartlet of aged caviar, fermented milk, nila oil; sweetbread, celery in vin jaune and morels. From start to finish,

Fleur de Pavé

€€€

At this restaurant that is firmly rooted in the zeitgeist, chef Sylvain Sendra pursues his fascinating culinary process with his usual enthusiasm and flair. He whips up modern dishes that draw inspiration from all over the world, featuring deceptively spontaneous plating and blue-ribbon ingredients, most notably the very exclusive vegetables from the kitchen garden of Asafumi Yamashita (market gardener in Yvelines in the Greater Paris area). Rather than bowl us over with flashy technique, the chef seeks to lay the emphasis squarely on flavours and delivering on the menu's promises. For a resta

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
