A Top Resto’s New Wine Bar

The team behind the much-lauded restaurant Septime (which featured again this year on the World’s Best Restaurant list) has opened a wine shop-cum-wine bar just around the corner from its main address in the 11th arrondissement. Pop into the charming Septime La Cave to pick up a bottle from their vast selection from not just France, but [...]

Sensational Seafood

The menu at L’Ecailler Du Bistrot is all seafood and it is decorated like a boathouse, with wooden boats and painted murals of shellfish. The chalkboard menu features daily catches and is loaded with a large selection of different oysters. In fact, one thing to know is that the French love oysters — they are [...]

A Top Chef’s Restaurant

Pierre Sang Boyer (pictured center), one of the charmismatic stars of French culinary TV show “Top Chef,” has opened an eponymous restaurant in the 11th arrondissement. The young chef, who was a semi-finalist in the 2011 edition of the TV show, opened Restaurant Pierre Sang on the buzzing, bar-lined rue Oberkampf last year. The no-reservation [...]

Yet Another Costes Eatery

Caffè Burlot is not what you’d expect to find just steps from the chain stores, tourist shops and swarm of humanity filling the Champs Elysées. But turning the corner onto rue du Colisée and stepping into the vintage, midcentury Milanese decor of Caffè Burlot, you instantly feels slimmer and chicer, and expect Don Draper to [...]

Finally! Healthy Food Delivered

Vélissime is the latest organic lunch delivery cart to hit the streets of Paris: Hearthy, organic meals distributed in several areas around town for lunch every weekday, just €11 for the three-course menu or €9 for two courses. You can read the entire week’s menu online and pre-order up until 11am. No dripping burgers, and [...]

Designer Coffee on the Rise

Paris’ coffee revolution is showing no signs of abating with the arrival of new kid on the block, Loustic, on a side street near to the Pompidou Centre, bringing superlative coffee to the very centre of Paris. Londoner Channa Galhenage’s brand new cafe, decorated with retro geometric prints by hip interior designer Dorothée Meilichzon (who also did [...]

Cheese Heaven

In 1909, Henri Androuet decided he wanted to illuminate his fellow Parisians about the delights of cheeses from all over France. He traversed unpaved roads across the country to learn about and find the finest and most varied cheeses that he could bring back to his shop on rue d’Amsterdam. Over the years and generations, [...]

Free Cooking Lessons!

The French Federation of Cooking and the Mairie de Paris have organized a series of free cooking lessons in the open-air markets of Paris throughout the summer. Just find the market closest to you (most of the participating markets are in the outer arrondissements) and sign up for an available date, then show up and try [...]

Gimme Shelter

An elegant hole in the wall is the Abri (shelter) restaurant, which used to be a sandwich shop and has kept a lovely unfinished washed-stone look, the kind of place you ask, from the outside, “Is this it or are they still working on it?” There’s no name on the entrance. The chef is Katsuaki [...]

The Season in Your Mouth

For creative dishes in a relaxed, modern environment, Chamarré is the place to be. Its spacious interior is based around an elegant water-and-wood theme, with curvy, comfortable furniture in shades of slate and violet, blown-glass centerpieces resembling jellyfish and dreamy droplet chandeliers. But this isn’t “Enchantment under the Sea”—the decor is subtle enough to merely evoke [...]
