Sublim & New 公寓 圣日耳曼德佩

In the special occasion setting of the Hôtel de la Monnaie, Guy Savoy is continuing the story he began a few decades ago – back when, as a young boy, he would peek into the pans in the kitchen of his family's restaurant, La Buvette de l'Esplanade, in Bourgoin-Jallieu. Here, he has taken things to another level. Imagine six boutique dining rooms, whose windows overlook the Seine and Paris, adorned with contemporary art and sculpture (many loaned by François Pinault). The splendour of this iconic backdrop in no way distracts the chef from his daily mission, which is to pay tribute to French cuis

Chef Yoshinori Morié (formerly at Le Petit Verdot, Encore, L'Auberge du 15) delights diners with refined, visually pleasing cuisine in the form of single set menus. Think tartare of Corrèze veal, cockles and cauliflower; monkfish, lotus and mushrooms; or ballotine of pigeon, porcini, dates, carrots and combava – so many unabashed odes to elegance and indulgence. In a busy corner of the Latin Quarter, this place is a rare gem among the usual eateries, housed in an intimate setting with exposed stonework, white beams, Japanese-style woodwork, designer lighting, white linen and porcelain. An appe

This restaurant is in an original location on the first floor of the Armani store in St-Germain-des-Prés (not far from the church). The interior is pure and elegant, in the designer's style, of course: a palette of beiges, banquette seating, glossy walls, subdued lighting… Might this be just another shopfront in all but name? On the contrary, this ristorante is one of the best Italian eateries in Paris. Chef Massimo Tringali, former sous-chef at Casadelmar in Porto-Vecchio, works with high-quality ingredients in the spirit of contemporary Italian cuisine. It is fresh, tasty and skilfully done:

The revamped Samaritaine department store is home to the luxurious Cheval Blanc Hotel, within whose walls lies this restaurant, the haunt of low-profile chef, Arnaud Donckele, who has three stars to his name at La Vague d'Or in St Tropez. Wholly committed, he pops in and out of the kitchen to share his passion with diners. His new spin on classical cuisine takes you on a voyage between Normandy, his place of birth, and the Mediterranean, his home of adoption and the Paris region… It is impossible not to be bowled over by his work, from its delicacy and generosity to the exceptional quality of

This edifice, steeped in history, stands on the cellars of the former Grands-Augustins convent and it was here on 14 May 1610, an hour after his father King Henry IV had been assassinated, that Louis XIII learned that he was the next king of France… The memory of this rich heritage lingers on in the ornate dining room which sports half-timbers, bare stone, wainscoting, stained-glass and wall hangings, although the profusion of heirlooms is set off by a few cutting-edge details (glazed cellar, modern sculptures). The setting with a sense of occasion is the perfect foil to the food of chef Manue

What may one expect from a Japanese restaurant featuring the all-star cast of chef Takuya Watanabe, Arnaud Donkele in person and his pastry chef partner Maxime Frédéric? Nothing but the best, of course! Takuya Watanabe, who belongs to the inner circle of the capital's grand masters, channels his passion and expertise into sushi, each one of which is crafted to perfection in view of diners. For his part, Arnaud Donckele brings his talent for sauces, jus and broths, in creations such as shellfish dashi, sweet garlic purée and green shiso coulis, or the clear and potent accompaniment to the ramen

Over 20 years old and still going strong: William Ledeuil's Ze Kitchen Galerie flirts with the boundaries between art and cuisine, with all of its original freshness and enthusiasm intact. In this pared-back space, designer furniture and tableware coexist with colourful paintings (a decor designed with jazz musician Daniel Humair) around a windowed kitchen where you can see the team at work. At the stove is William Ledeuil, who has become the mentor of a generation of chefs (including Adeline Grattard and Adrien Ferrand). He gives free rein to his passion for the flavours of South-East Asia (T
