Where to eat in Paris

Le Comptoir du Panthéon

A bustling bistro near the Panthéon where the steak-frites are textbook perfect. The terrace faces one of Paris's grandest monuments. Order a pichet of Côtes du Rhône and settle in.

Le Baratin

A tiny wine bar-restaurant in Belleville where the chef cooks market-driven French food with zero pretension. The natural wine list is excellent and the handwritten menu changes daily. Cash only.

Chez Janou

A romantic Marais bistro famous for having the best chocolate mousse in Paris — a massive communal bowl brought to the table. The provençal cuisine and the courtyard garden are equally charming.

Septime

Bertrand Grébaut's Michelin-starred bistro in the 11th does creative French tasting menus at reasonable prices. The vegetable courses are as impressive as the proteins. Book weeks ahead.

Bouillon Chartier

A grand 1896 workers' canteen serving classic French dishes at absurdly low prices — steak tartare for €10, profiteroles for €4. The Belle Époque interior is stunning. No reservations, just queue.

Breizh Café

The best crêpes in Paris, in the Marais. Buckwheat galettes with Saint-Jacques scallops or andouille sausage, plus proper Breton cider. The Japanese-French owner brings unusual precision to each crêpe.

L'Ami Jean

A boisterous Basque restaurant near Les Invalides. The rice pudding is legendary — a massive cauldron shared at the table. The duck confit and the Bayonne ham are outstanding.

Le Bouillon Pigalle

The newer Pigalle outpost of the bouillon concept with gorgeous Art Deco interiors. Classic French bistro food — onion soup, duck confit, île flottante — at prices that seem like a mistake.
