Fine Restaurant Recommendations in Paris

Where are you staying? Asking because there might be some in "your" neighborhood.

And when you ask for "fine" restaurants do you mean Michelin starred or are you looking for neighborhood places with good food and service?

Hi OP! To add to Pan’s questions - do you have a preferred price range? Style of cuisine? Modern chic vs old school romantic?

I have a couple of places in mind… but depending on your preferences, they might not suit. 😀

You are sure headed to the right city for magnificent food!

Thanks. We’re staying at the Quai Voltaire on the Seine between the Louvre and the D’Orsay. We’re looking for either Michelin or very good local restaurants with a finely prepared Parisian flair. No need to be in our neighborhood.

I've enjoyed two outstanding meals at Chefs à Table on the r. Trousseau in the 11th. I'm guessing they'll have a Michelin star before long, so do go before their prices go airborne.

If you are looking for the opinion of experts in gastronomy and restaurant service, the two leading French professional references are Michelin and Gault & Millau.

Here are their selections for Paris:

For Michelin one star:

Automne in the 11th

Lasserre on the 8th

Ze Kitchen Gallerie in the 6th

For Michelin two star

Alliance in the 5th for lunch

Not Michelin but highly recommended:

Restaurant Gemellus in the 7th

Hestia in the 5th

We had an excellent meal at Table this past December which is on the list of the top 50 restaurants in the world. Food, service, and wine were all exceptional. Bruno Verjus greeted us and made sure to say goodbye as we left, which I thought was quite lovely.
