Chez Georges’ consistency is one of the many things I love about it, alongside the conviviality, the history, and the welcome, which boasts that oh-so-Parisian brand of snark and haughtiness. It’s for all of these reasons and so many more that it remains my favorite place to eat classic French food in Paris.

Les Parisiens Is A True Stunner of Haute Bistronomy
The plates at this spot steps from the Musée d’Orsay are as delicious as they are beautiful.
Semilla is the Perfect Blend of Contemporary and Classic
The menu at this industrial-chic bistro frequently offers variations on a theme: Appetizers often hail from the sea (as is perhaps apt, given that it’s owned by the same folks who helm Fish La Boissonnerie across the street), while ceviches and marinated fish are frequent fliers.
La Taverne De ZHAO Is As Good As They Say
This noodle spot takes no reservations, but it’s totally worth the wait.
Old School Flavors with Old World Charm at Le Bistrot de Paris

Café Les Deux Gares May Well Be My New Local
I am not the first to fall for Café les Deux Gares; it’s already been lauded by far mightier pens than mine. But thanks to the friendly staff, cozy dining room, and view over the train tracks of Gare de l’Est (I promise, it’s dreamier than it sounds), it may well have secured its spot as my new local.
Galanga is a Fine Dining Gem Steps from the Champs Elysées Offering Surprises at Every Turn
The 8th is not usually my favorite neighborhood in Paris in which to eat, but the fine dining chops of Chef Thomas Danigo, whose Galanga is located within the luxe boutique hotel Monsieur Georges, has me changing my tune.
Pavyllon is Exactly What I Hope for in Fine Dining
French Chef Yannick Alléno marries French technique and British terroir to near perfection in Mayfair.
