Chef Nicolas Beaumann enthusiastically perpetuates the tradition of delicious food that has always been synonymous with this emblematic establishment, albeit while increasingly embracing the modern, as reflected in the newly refurbished dining room. The short à la carte menu and the tasting menus (one of which is plant-based) include poivrade artichoke "in a velouté of its leaves; caper and olive stuffing", their classic pike-perch quenelle with lobster cream, and Bresse chicken with salsify and a yellow wine jus. Pastry chef David Boudinet's sweets also make an impression – for instance, the

Jacques Faussat, born in Gers and proud of it, clearly aspires to the simplicity of his childhood roots. A simplicity also passed down by Michel Guérard and above all, Alain Dutournier. Jacques’ meeting with the latter, also born in Gers, proved to be decisive in his career, starting with ten years spent in the kitchen of the Trou Gascon. He sign flavoursome cuisine made with intelligently crafted produce in a bid to nurture the flavours and aromas. Eater-friendly prices.

In this cosy, welcoming room adorned in soft shades, the menu rolls out a lineup of premium ingredients that depend on the whim of chef Yoshi Nagato (Maison Rostang, Le Cinq, Épicure) and his partner, Asuka Ishiba, in charge of desserts. Brittany lobster salad, wax beans, Piedmont hazelnuts and a dressing of lobster roe; Challans duckling lacquered in honey and Sichuan pepper; roast sweetbread and sautéed girolles… Stylish, high-precision plating and generous helpings. Fine range of organic and natural wines.

In an interior dominated by a masterful charcoal work, an "urban cave painting" depicting a bestiary by the artist Adel Abdessemed, Pierre Gagnaire continues to finetune France’s culinary scene with his adventurous, wholehearted and excessive signature cuisine. This fan of jazz and contemporary art never rests on his laurels. Gagnaire's restaurant, which has had three stars since 1996, reflects his character: modern, understated and subtly sophisticated, all of which is in perfect harmony with the service. The poetic dishes are constantly reinvented, like small "satellite" portions sent into o

This iconic establishment dating back to 1946 is the epitome of French classicism. Run by the Gardinier family (Les Crayères in Reims), Taillevent is nothing short of an institution. Here in the former private mansion of the Duke of Morny (19C), you are cocooned from the world outside. Chef Giuliano Sperandio is in charge of the kitchen. Tradition is honoured with some elements being prepared tableside, such as the meat or fish trolley served in two courses (veal chop, Pornic pigeon, the catch from small-boat fishing etc) or the classic crêpes Suzette, flambéed first with Grand Marnier and the

The faham is an orchid native to the island of Réunion, famous for its subtle almond scent. Kelly Rangama (2017 Top Chef contestant) chose this flower to symbolise her civil and culinary union with pastry chef Jérôme Devreese and their joint creation: this sleek, elegant restaurant tucked away in the Batignolles district. Here the chef rolls out a culinary patchwork that abounds in vibrancy and delicacy, spicy but always subtle, with an exotic edge that makes all the difference. An example: tandoori-style monkfish, followed by a wickedly decadent poached rhubarb, ginger and mango sorbet and a

In a small, maritime-themed, luxurious brasserie, (formerly La Marée where he kicked off his career!), Thierry Marx pays tribute to everything he holds dear: the transmission of know-how and a deep respect for nature, individuals, produce and producers, but also a love of culinary innovation. In the company of partner-chef Ricardo Silva, he signs a delicate, spot-on, modern score, dotted with nods to Asia and strewn with Marxian signatures such as soy risotto or, depending on the season, petals of scallops or seabream.
