One of the most creative, delicious tasting menus I’ve enjoyed in a very long time.

Big, Bold Flavors Govern the Menu at Adraba
Israeli and Levantine flavors take touristy Montmartre by storm with Adraba’s bold approach and big flavors.
Double is a Micro-Restaurant Loaded with Originality
The daring and creativity of Chef Tsuyoshi Yamakawa cannot be denied, but Double is not a restaurant I’d recommend to just anyone. The no-choice prix fixe means you cannot be picky, and above all, the shared format means you’ll need to go with someone you know quite well.
A.Lea Marries Fine Dining and Comfort Food to Perfection
The dining room here is convivial and warm, loaded with a balance of locals and foreigners, which makes sense given the proximity to the Butte Montmartre. With a small menu that changes regularly, I’ll definitely be back to see what else they have in store.
Le Mansart Delivers a True Café Experience
Le rade is getting a revival in Paris, of late, and there’s perhaps nowhere more quintessentially Parisian to eat for a pittance, especially at lunch, than Le Mansart.
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.
Café Les Deux Gares is Just as Delightful at Dinner
I was particularly chuffed to get the chance to return to Café les Deux Gares for dinner recently, nine months after I had such a drawdropping lunch I went so far as to declare it my new local.
