Dandelion is my kind of place. It’s off the beaten path in a village-y corner of the 20th. It’s affordable, filled with locals and flying a little under the radar. It’s so much better than you expect it to be – from the friendly service to the thoughtful wine list (mostly but not entirely natural)… Read More »Dandelion The post Dandelion first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
FIEF is a sleek and modern restaurant in the 11th with a mission to use local ingredients. The name FIEF stands for Fait Ici En France (made here in France) and the restaurant’s goal is to import nothing from outside of France. Their mission is executed with phenomenal expertise by chef Victor Mercier (a Top… Read More »FIEF The post FIEF first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
Paulownia is a sincere new restaurant near Nation, run by Tess Duteil and Geoffrey Belin. The couple met while working at Arpège, and their love of vegetables is evident. There was an intricate (and delicious) vegetarian millefeuille main dish on the night of our visit, along with a vegetarian starter. The star of the evening,… Read More »Paulownia The post Paulownia first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
The restaurant Godaille, situated across the street from the charming Square Trousseau, is a wonderful new addition to the Aligre neighborhood. Its ambitions feel modest – they seem to want to be a neighborhood place – and they’re exceeding them with inventive small plates and one of the best steak dishes I’ve ever tasted. Go… Read More »Godaille The post Godaille first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
Benjamin Schmitt is becoming known for his cassoulet – a delicious crock full of creamy and richly flavored beans, nicely browned sausage and decadent duck confit. But aside from that one dish his menu is pretty modern, featuring dishes like licorice-flavored pork loin with anchovy-spiked Swiss chard. The space feels grown up, with deep blue… Read More »Benjamin Schmitt The post Benjamin Schmitt first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH

Since September 2023, Le Cheval d’Or has been revived by a new team that includes Hanz Gueco (Verjus & Ellsworth), Luis Andrade (Clown Bar), Nadim Smair (David Toutain) and Crislaine Medina, whose wine and service we adored at Le Rigmarole. We revisited in early 2024 and published a review – click the red link below… Read More »Le Cheval d’Or The post Le Cheval d’Or first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
Baillotte is a solid option for modern & creative cuisine with choices (not a tasting menu) in Saint-Germain. They’re welcoming to solo diners, have (limited but tasty) vegetarian options, and are open for lunch on Sunday. From the same restaurant group as Narro in the Latin Quarter. BAILLOTTE 16 Rue du Dragon, 75006 Open Tuesday-Saturday for… Read More »Baillotte The post Baillotte first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
Le Saint-Sébastien is known for its vegetable-driven (but not vegetarian) cooking and desserts with a savory spin. The 400-reference-strong wine list and impeccable service make this neighborhood restaurant one worth crossing the city for. Now helmed by chef Andrés Solis, the menu features a few subtle twists that highlight his Mexican culinary heritage. They have… Read More »Le Saint-Sébastien The post Le Saint-Sébastien first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
Oktobre is the new name of Kitchen Galerie Bis (KGB) and a new beginning for chef Martin Maumet. Maumet worked for William Ledeuil as associate chef of KGB before purchasing the restaurant to install himself as chef-owner. Much of the team from KGB remains intact, including sommelier and dining room manager Romane Laignel. We previously included KGB among our favorite restaurants in Saint-Germain, but have not yet tried Oktobre, which will open on September 1, 2023. The post Oktobre first app...| PARIS BY MOUTH

In the same spot as Le Colvert, a restaurant that never really took off, Colvert (sans “le”) has reopened with a new look and a new (Top) chef. Arnaud Baptiste participated in the 2021 season of French Top Chef and his food is, accordingly, wildly creative and over-sauced. But overall, this is a solid option… Read More »Colvert The post Colvert first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
The restaurant A.T. is the project of Japanese chef Atsushi Tanaka, who serves a technicolor tasting menu in a minimalist dining room. My first visit in 2015 prompted disdain. The dishes seemed to be designed for the early days of Instagram, and didn’t have much depth beyond their pretty looks. Two different tables at dinner… Read More »A.T.

Hémicycle is a new restaurant from Stéphane Manigold that opened in late August 2023 near the Assemblée Nationale. Chef Flavio Lucarini, who we loved at Manigold’s Bistrot Flaubert, leads the kitchen at Hémicycle, along with Aurora Storari, previously the pastry chef at Le Clarence.

Tatiana Levha, formerly at L'Arpège and L'Astrance, and her sister Katia opened this light, airy bistro with a central bar & hand painted ceiling. The short list of offerings changes each day, but expect seasonally driven cuisine inflected with international touches like tandoori spiced beurre blanc atop asparagus or harissa to spice up the line caught hake. Dessert left room for improvement, but otherwise Le Servan had reasonably priced, expertly executed dishes and friendly service in a be...| PARIS BY MOUTH
Narro is a partnership between chef Kazuma Chikuda (ex-Le Sot l’Y Laisse), Megumi Terao and Thomas Legrand – a longtime fixture of the Paris natural wine scene. I went on the recommendation from several readers and found it to be sweet, but not a resounding success. Most plates included too many ideas and felt a… Read More »Narro The post Narro first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
With its chili jam-slathered sandwiches and extra-salty chocolate cookies, Gramme could easily be found in London or Brooklyn. But Gramme shouldn’t be dismissed as a watery import – the food is excellent, and the vibe is very local. Their signature dwich (this is how Parisians now refer to sandwiches) is the sort of thing I… Read More »Gramme The post Gramme first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
Le Mermoz is a modern bistro with sincere service and an excellent selection of natural wines. What sets it apart from all the other similar bistros in the 11th is that it’s not in the 11th. It’s in the 8th, mere steps from the Champs-Elysées. Thomas Graham’s dishes are seasonal and relatively simple – most… Read More »Le Mermoz The post Le Mermoz first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH

Alain Ducasse has created a floating restaurant that’s actually good. Ducasse sur Seine docks directly in front of the Eiffel Tower and offers an incredible view of that monument at the beginning as you arrive for your lunch or dinner. It then breaks away for a slow and silent (the boat is electric and soundless)… Read More »Ducasse Sur Seine The post Ducasse Sur Seine first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
Pétrelle is one of the romantic restaurants in Paris, and it's also one of the most delicious.

This new restaurant from the owner of Le Cornichon occupies prime Latin Quarter real estate with an outdoor terrace looking onto the gardens of the Cluny museum and the vestige of an 8th century convent.

Bonnard is a stylish spot for vegetarian dining in the northern Marais. It’s mostly a dinner spot, with lunch hours on Saturday only. Their menu is short and sweet, like their opening hours.

There’s a large teal booth… Read More »Bonnard The post Bonnard first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
At Pantagruel, a modern & creative restaurant in the Sentier district, each main dish is actually a parade of three smaller ones. Meaty options abound, but vegetables are given star treatment here.
