In the heart of Paris's Chinatown, this Chinese restaurant is popular with many people from the local Asian community, who have adopted it as their canteen. In a room that is always full (the service runs non-stop from lunch to dinner, and is fast-paced, to say the least!), they serve fine Cantonese specialities, including crispy pork and Peking duck. A truly authentic meal, without breaking the bank! You can't book here; you just have to go and wait to be seated.
WebsiteBruno Verjus's approach is to select the finest ingredients and cook them with humility and the utmost respect. This remarkable character was previously an entrepreneur, blogger and food critic. Behind the counter (where diners are seated on comfortable bar stools), he waxes lyrical about his suppliers and the desire to take a back seat to the artisans who produce what he then cooks – on that note, when it comes to either the recipes or the ingredients, the chef considers himself to be a "middle man". Everything is made to order, with garnishes and sauces designed with just one thing in mind:
WebsiteA stone's throw from the Marché d'Aligre, the navy-blue façade of this restaurant conceals a vintage interior strewn with Art deco details that is reminiscent of a Parisian apartment and which is the work of Argentinian architect Marcelo Joulia. A talented couple is at the helm: Frédéric Lorimier in the kitchen and Camille Gouyer who graciously supervises the front of house. After honing his talent with the greats (not least Arnaud Donckele in Saint-Tropez), the chef crafts a meticulous, almost surgical score. Think seasonal produce, virtuoso technique and exquisitely aromatic sauces, e.g. lin
WebsiteChef Andreas Mavrommatis, with his engaging personality, had become over the years a true ambassador of Greek cuisine in Paris, thanks to his refined and authentic cooking, based on classic French techniques combined with the best of Hellenic flavors. Grilled octopus, crispy phyllo, onion confit with xinomavro; Lozère lamb, the shoulder meltingly tender, the saddle roasted with halloumi, Swiss chard dolmades and a Volos olive relish... As the seasons and inspirations change, this culinary journey continues thanks to a loyal team, in a an elegant and evocative setting.
WebsiteIf there are "writers' writers", then there are chefs' chefs. A Meilleur Ouvrier de France, a mainstay of the Ferrandi gastronomy school, promoter of culinary design, restaurateur in Tokyo, Éric Trochon is that sort of chef – admired and yet relatively little known. He and his sommelier wife preside over this elegant, intimate-feeling restaurant with a decor that blends Brazilian rosewood furnishings and paintings and ceramics by a Korean artist. The menu also errs towards minimalism, with on-point proposals including an omakase menu. The dishes showcase modern cuisine with Asian touches, such
WebsiteBetween the Left Bank and Boulevard St Germain, this dinky restaurant celebrates the alliance of Shawn and Toshi, respectively in charge of the dining room and the kitchen, and partners in this culinary adventure. Chef Toshitaka Omiya prefers authenticity to fancy frills. His cooking, which revolves around fine seasonal ingredients, hits the spot every time, regaling both the eye and the tastebuds, as he rolls out disarmingly, yet stunningly simple, subtle recipes. His surprise menus, which are practically made to measure for each of the establishment’s 8 tables, are a treasure trove of imagin
WebsiteChef Adrien Cachot has been a familiar face since appearing on French TV's Top Chef in 2020. In a space with a minimalist decor and intimate atmosphere, the chef puts his creativity to the test, creating dishes that often feature unexpected pairings, such as the show-stopping "Cachot e pepe" mochi, prepared in the manner of a pepper and citrus risotto! He also has a penchant for less conventional ingredients, such as offal, which contribute unusual textures. Finally, another characteristic of his cuisine is the marriage of surf and turf, with dishes such as his superb black ruff, a fish from t
WebsiteAlways on the lookout for new ideas, the team of Septime led by Bertrand Grébaut stands out by its fresh, confident, always enthusiastic and occasionally even cheeky approach. Septime is the quintessence of the new breed of Parisian restaurants, resolutely hip and trendy, but also unwaveringly committed to good food. In the middle of Rue de Charonne, the venue is the summum of today’s modern codes and its spacious, workshop-cum-loft feel, untreated wooden tables and metal rafters offer a swish version of the current trend for industrial interiors. Slick, professional service. Of course, you ma
