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.
WebsiteA stone's throw from Montrouge town hall, this place whose terrace is a hit in fine weather, is a breath of fresh air on the local restaurant scene. At the helm, Cécile Farnier and Hélia Maouch, both trained at the Ferrandi hospitality school, have devised a short – and constantly evolving – menu: shredded fish with potato espuma, fish with a tangy sauce vierge, refreshing seasonal desserts. Quality ingredients, on-point cuissons, service with a smile… It's no surprise it already has a following of regulars.

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.

WebsiteA young Japanese chef with an iron-clad CV crafts inspired, generous cuisine using the best ingredients of the neighbourhood. Semi-cooked fillet of bonito in a sweet-sour sauce with a tapenade of braised chard; shoulder of pork, mustard cream and mashed sweet potato; bergamot-laced cheesecake with red and black cherries spiked in Espelette pepper. A deftly crafted, out-of-the-ordinary lineup that changes weekly and never fails to hit the spot. At lunchtime, a trilogy of starters and a dish of the day at an unbeatable price.
WebsiteOn the ground floor of a handsome Haussmann building, this bistro exudes Parisian charm: at the entrance, a few places at the convivial bar and a handful of tables; to the rear, a retro-chic space (snazzy green imitation leather banquettes, white walls, vintage hanging lamps) and an open kitchen reminiscent of – you guessed it – a capsule. The chef's comforting home cooking may be simple, but it is precisely executed using fresh ingredients. The roast chicken jus is quite something! The floating island with salted butter caramel and roasted almonds confirm that the proof is in the pudding.
WebsiteIndulgence and good wine: Gilles Choukroun has taken his friend Émile Cotte's motto and made it his own! In the lively atmosphere of a Parisian bistro, he serves up his generous take on hearty bistro classics: marinated herring and potato salad; calf's head, tongue and brains in sauce ravigote; floating island with praline and crème anglaise… Appealing menu-carte on the blackboard.
WebsiteArmed with an iron-clad CV (Atelier Guy Martin, Lucas Carton, Grand Véfour), Sébastien Dagoneau has been weaving his magic since he took over Le Cornichon in January 2020.

Examples include guineafowl cooked in morel mushrooms or melt-in-the-mouth pork and potato gnocchi, followed by a crunchy yet fluffy chou filled with Bourbon vanilla cream. Fine selection of organic and natural wines.
