Pierre Gagnaire

Creative · ★★★ Michelin

€€€€

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

L'Oiseau Blanc

Creative · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

This is the "contemporary French fine dining" restaurant at The Peninsula, a luxury hotel located near the Arc de Triomphe. It is named after the plane in which Nungesser and Coli attempted the first North Atlantic crossing in 1927, and a life-size replica of the plane is affixed to the top of the hotel, as if poised to take to the skies before your very eyes. A fine tribute to the two aviation pioneers, as well as to the sky over Paris! Perched above the rooftops and encased in glass, the restaurant feels like it is in flight over the capital, while the terrace offers a fantastic view of the

Oxte

Mexican · ★ Michelin

€€€€

This tastefully fashionable dinky restaurant tucked away in the Étoile neighbourhood, serves spot-on, contemporary, Mexican-influenced cuisine. Gallic ingredients are tweaked with condiments, herbs and spices by a talented and passionate Mexican chef, Enrique Casarrubias who works side by side his wife and chef, Montserrat Estrada, when he isn’t lending a hand in the dining room. His ever-changing score evolves with the seasons, extending an invitation to travel, often to Mexico. Examples: squid, house-made black pudding and recado negro or pigeon, Oxte mole (sauce), leeks and pickled raisins

La Scène Thélème

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Art meets gastronomy at 18 rue Troyon. This discreet restaurant with a modern façade is named after L'Abbaye de Thélème, a utopia conjured up by Rabelais. Rudy Langlais and his team create cuisine with plenty of personality, in which carefully selected ingredients and flavours from Japan come together in refined and delicate dishes, neatly combining French and Japanese styles. The work is meticulous, and the bill for lunch remains reasonable. Good recommendations from the sommelier.

Le Cinq

Modern Cuisine · ★★★ Michelin

€€€€

Unadulterated style and opulence – lofty columns, ornate mouldings and tall bouquets of flowers, all bathed in soft light pouring in from the interior garden… Here, in one of the most prestigious Parisian palaces, chef Christian Le Squer commands respect by working his magic year after year. His timeless cuisine, always showcasing outstanding produce, unveils his virtuoso technique and phenomenal delicacy. Hailing from Morbihan, he never fails to pay tribute to his native Brittany, brilliantly celebrating this terroir and its seafood, eg lait ribot (Breton buttermilk) is paired with caviar and

Mallory Gabsi

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

A semi-finalist of France’s 2020 Top Chef show, Brussels-born Mallory Gabsi loves to cook. He communicates his enthusiasm through a varied, savvy score that astutely balances acidic and bitter notes. This refreshing wind of culinary audacity contrasts with the establishment’s plush, muted interior that is reminiscent of a luxurious ocean liner of yesteryear thanks to pale varnished marquetry, wool-upholstered seating and Art deco wall lamps… Gabsi, the darling of a new generation of foodies, signs a “Turquoise Menu” (his favourite colour) scattered with succulent nods to his homeland (such as

Le Taillevent

Classic Cuisine · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

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

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon - Étoile

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

With no less than two establishments in the French capital, Joël Robuchon’s renowned Ateliers are literally making their way around the world. The saga began on here, a stone's throw from the Arc de Triomphe, in the basement of the Champs Élysées Publicis Drugstore. In a red and black interior, diners sit on high stools at a long counter overlooking the kitchen in a hushed and meditative vibe. The Robuchon brand embodies a contemporary approach to fine dining, including a vegetarian menu. Diners can choose between small tasting portions or regular helpings. A final touch that will please wine
