Chez Michel

10, rue de Belzunu (10) Tel: 01-44-53-06-20 AMBIANCE/DÉCOR Messy. Overall disappointing, in spite of/because of extensive hype. Many foreigners. Did not feel like a Paris restaurant. A profound let down in look, greeting, clientele, food. Read more

Abri

92, rue du Faubourg-Poissonniere (10) Tel: 01-83-97-00-00 AMBIANCE/DÉCOR On Mondays and Saturdays at lunch, Abri serves only its already legendary Japanese- style sandwich. A tiny space with open galley kitchen and 14 seats at small Read more

Table des Anges (La)

66, rue des Martyrs (9) Tel: 01-55-32-24-89 AMBIANCE/DÉCOR If you walked by, on a non-descript street off the decidedly fringe Place Pigalle, you wouldn’t look twice. Too bad. The surroundings may look like a bar/café, Read more

Casa Olympe (La)

48, rue Saint Georges (9) Tel: 01-42-85-26-01 AMBIANCE/DÉCOR Chef shows her age. No longer cutting edge. Small, tight location. Good, not great food. FOOD Good, not special. SERVICE Perfunctory. PRICE Medium (1X) (2009)

Bouillon Chartier

Maree (La)

1, rue Daru (8) Tel: 01-43-80-20-00 AMBIANCE/DÉCOR A longtime 2-star restaurant now under new ownership with a less ambitious and (considerably) less costly menu. Neighborhood and décor “establishment”; now slightly tired. Open kitchen. Many jackets Read more

Lazare

rue Interieure (8) Inside Gare St. Lazare Tel:  01-44-90-80-80 AMBIANCE/DÉCOR There exists a vast body of empirical evidence that in high-end restaurants, execution is usually not scalable. It is difficult for an accomplished chef to Read more

Lasserre

17, avenue Franklin Roosevelt (8) Tel: 01-43-59-53-43 AMBIANCE/DÉCOR I ate at Lasserre once before, with my family in 1966. My father reveled in the name association. Fast forward 45 years. It remains an elegant, memorable Read more

Chiberta (Le)

3, rue Arsène Houssaye (8) Tel: 01-53-53-42-00 AMBIANCE/DÉCOR A rare excursion to the more commercial, more touristy Etoile neighborhood to 3- star chef Guy Savoy’s second restaurant for a 49€ formula lunch. Worth the trip. Read more
