This restaurant on rue Lepic does lovely, fine dining plays on French classics with exquisite products, but the lunchtime prix fixe absolutely stole the show.

Trouble is Audaciously, Innovatively Delicious
This new small plates spot has gotten a lot of buzz, of late, and while I was certainly intrigued, I was also on my guard. Paris has no shortage of plates ticking the small-plate-natty-wine box. How would Trouble stand out from the others? The answer, it seems, is in the sheer audacity of the ultra-talented Stefano De Carli, previously of Verre Volé and Passerini, whose Roman background suffuses the border-bending menu with absolutely delightful combinations.
Le Normandie is a Prototypical Bistro in Montmartre with the Barest Handful of Modern Twists
I have a real soft spot for this pocket of a restaurant in the shadow of the butte Montmartre, where a very short menu of very reasonable prices is quietly shaking up the bistro category just enough to be creative and delicious.
Fellows’ Pasta Is Some of the Most Creative Out There
Fellows’ menu of reasonably priced house-made pasta is suffused with delicious international spins and flourishes, from harissa to za’atar to miso.
ACCENTS Table Bourse Is Suffusing the Fine Dining Experience with Playfulness and Joy
In short, this restaurant is a total gem, mastering from beginning to end a playful interchange of sweet and savory and a nostalgic, playful approach to fine dining fare.
Sugo is Making Pasta Like the Romans Do
The excellent food and very reasonable prices would be reason enough to recommend Sugo, but the genial service and cozy dining room push it over the edge. Plus, with great vegetarian options – and service every day (lunch only on Sundays), it’s the kind of go-to I’m sure I’ll be recommending and returning to time and again.
They Just Don’t Make ‘Em Like Le Quincy Anymore
This place is truly like a step out of time, and I’m glad to see that even though Bobosse is getting a well-deserved rest, it remains just as authentic as I’d always heard it would be.
Chinese and Japanese Flavors Are a Match Made in Heaven at Horiz
Rice often seems to take a secondary role in Westernized Asian restaurants, but brothers Alexandre and Olivier Lin have put it center-stage at Horiz, where rice is the star of every dish – and most of the drinks.
L’Assaggio is a Good Place to Scratch the Italian Itch in Paris
At the Castille hotel, steps from Grands Boulevards, L’Assaggio is putting northern Italian specialties center-stage, including some truly exceptional fresh pasta.
Chez Aline Is Still Bringing Great Sandwiches to the 11th – and That’s Not All
It was in 2012 that Delphine Zampetti converted a former horse butchery into a sandwich shop known for top-notch baguettes stuffed with everything from raw milk cheese to Prince de Paris ham. I fell hard for the original, but it had been a while since I’d returned – so long, in fact, that her former second in command, Tiphaine Moindrot, has taken the reins. So I decided to stop in and see if it was still worthy of the hype.
