With its worn wooden tables, intricately painted ceilings, and charcuterie slicer propped on the marble counter, L'Assiette has the precise look of a dream Paris bistro. It also serves many of the classic dishes, like escargots and cassoulet, which have mostly disappeared from the city's restaurants. The far-flung location in the 14th arrondissement, near the Catacombs but far from the center, has probably helped L'Assiette to stay off the tourist radar. Chef David Rathgeber and his team are ...| PARIS BY MOUTH
The folks behind Rigmarole have opened a pizza place called Oobatz in collaboration with Dan Pearson, the pizzaiolo behind their successful Pizzamarole pop-up. It’s incredible, you should go.

Two talented Italians have taken over the old Robert space and are now serving an incredible tasting menu – my current favorite in the city. Eugenio Anfuso (previously at Astrance and L’Ambroisie) is creating bizarre and delicious dishes like this lightly smoked veal tartare with peanuts and sea urchin ice cream. His partner Cecilia Spurio handles the dining room and… Read More »Amâlia The post Amâlia first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
Aléa is new restaurant, tucked into the sweet and sedate backside of the Montmartre hill, that’s run by a young couple. It feels personal. Chef Léa Lestage, who previously worked at the three-star Epicure, is serving a market-driven menu at night with 3-4 options per course (starters 11-16€, mains 24-26€). When I went, that included the… Read More »Aléa The post Aléa first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH

Les Parisiens is a hotel restaurant whose menu is “signed by” (created and overseen by) Thibault Sombardier. The food here is good, but the ambiance is a drag.

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.

Géosmine, a new restaurant in the 11th, has stirred a lot of interest this year with their provocative tasting menu by chef Maxime Bouttier (ex-Mensae).

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.

In the age of Instagram, the plates and dining room at Amarante feel almost defiantly unadorned.
