"South American barbecue meets French bistro, with an incredible list of superb natural wine selections. On Sundays, they offer seasonal appetizers and their specialty: whole chicken grilled over an open fire. They finish their bread over the grill, imparting an incredible smoky flavor. If you're not worried about calories, Sundays feature a dish of mashed potatoes with bone marrow — I asked, and the key to the smashed potatoes is a 50/50 blend of butter and potatoes. Simply incredible."

"If you're seeking an exceptional neo-bistro in the 8th arrondissement, your search ends here. With impeccable produce, bold and indulgent dishes, and distinctive flavors, it's a culinary delight. The reasonably priced wine list offers an interesting selection of organic, natural wines, and sakes."

"Conceived and run by Bruno Verjus, a self-taught chef, food critic, and entrepreneur with immense charisma, Table Paris currently ranks as the 10th best restaurant in the world. Agnese Morandi was recently chosen as the best sommelier of the year by Identità Golose. There is a high focus on sustainability and clean seasonal cuisine. The restaurant sources from over 200 different suppliers, and the menu changes daily depending on the delivery from the suppliers."

"A one-of-a-kind bistro anywhere in the world. The owners, Camilla and Victor, are polished hospitality professionals, creating a youthful vibe during service. Each guest chef brings their style using seasonal French products in the tiny open kitchen. The focus is on small plates and funky natural wines. What to order? Ideally everything."

"Incredibly creative fine dining restaurant in a beautiful minimalistic space. From the plates, and bowls to the cutlery, everything is hand-sourced throughout Europe and Japan. The chef Atsushi is undeniably one of the most inventive and progressive chefs in Paris. Atsushi draws inspiration from avant-garde fashion designers, as seen in creative cooking and plating. The dishes are not just picturesque but have a lot of depth and flavor."

"Truly a one-of-a-kind special restaurant and the epitome of a great Parisian dining experience. It was opened 10 years ago by two sisters, Katia (Sommelier) and Tatiana (Chef). Their combined international work experiences in Manila, Hong Kong, Thailand, and France allow them to create a unique friendly family atmosphere, along with an affordable à la carte menu featuring French dishes with Southeast Asian influences. Don't miss out on their snacks and starters – ideally, try them all."

"Every meal in Bistrot des Tournelles feels like the best meal ever. Classic French dishes are executed to perfection. Every meat dish is followed by Michelin-grade “au jus”, and you get as much jus as you want. There are two side dish choices of frites or puréed potatoes - choose BOTH. A selection of beautiful natural wines with a focus on the Beaujolais region. The Bistrot des Tournelles opened in 2022 and was named “Best Bistro of 2023” by Le Fooding."

"Possibly the hardest table to book in Paris, but worth the effort. The restaurant sources over 90% of its ingredients from within France with a focus on vegetables, whole animals, and natural wine. Despite its decade-lasting success, both the cuisine and the wines are still reasonably priced. The decor, service, and overall mood of the restaurant are very chill and relaxed, rather than your typical fine-dining cuisine. Keep your expectations more reasonable than “better be worth it”.

"Chef Sota Atsumi, famous for being the head chef of Clown Bar, left to open his restaurant, Maison by Sota Atsumi. The loft open-kitchen restaurant is on two floors and includes a wood-burning oven and wood-fired grill. The walls and floors are decorated with classic French red tomette tiles, and diners have a choice of being seated at a long 8-meter table, more intimate separate tables, or a seat at the chef's table. The menu consists of fare made with carefully chosen seasonal ingredients."

"In my opinion, one of the coolest spots in Paris, with the best butter. Here, pig is king; go for the small tapas-style meat dishes — the menu changes often, so ask for recommendations. The crowd is a beautiful mix of locals and tourists, old and young, drinkers and eaters. Mostly natural wines, most of which are also available by the glass."
