L’ALCAZAR

L’Alcazar is having a second rebirth after a first revamp by Sir Terence Conran in 1998 who transitioned the place from a cabaret to a restaurant. This time it was entirely redecorated by Laura Gonzalez. She’s succeeded in making this extremely vast place with its shabby chic signature into a mix of English garden and Brazilian patio, meaning right on trend.  The cuisine is also spot on: simple, refined, and fresh, but the cabaret spirit remains with offerings like Russian sturgeon caviar or a poached egg with foie gras. You may want to know what happened to La Mezzanine where people would dance so merrily. Now called Le Balcon, it is still the perfect follow-up for the evening with cocktails to die for.

MARSAN – HELENE DARROZE

Daughter, granddaughter and great granddaughter of cooks, Hélène Darroze became a chef at a stroke of heart. From her native Landes, she kept the taste of simple and true products. She cooks what she likes, as she likes, dishes of instinct, incredibly inventive, which propelled her very quickly to the top. At Marsan, its iconic dishes are oyster-flavored glazed caviar oysters and tandoori lobster, accompanied by citrus carrot mousseline and a reduction of lampong pepper and fresh coriander.

Restaurant, Cyril Lignac, Gastronomie

The address of Cyril Lignac used to be in the 1960s Claude Saint-Louis’s famous restaurant. Regular customers were Serge Gainsbourg, Maurince Ronet, Alain Delon or François Mitterrand.

Cyril Lignac has chosen to keep the flowered wallpaper on the walls, the antique tiled floor or the lights. On the kitchen side, we can find on the menu the great classics, of course reinterpreted by Cyril Lignac.

PIZZA CHIC

An address which could only exist on the left bank, nestled into the busy streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés where ‘chic’ is a religion in itself. But this contemporary, polished pizzeria (wood panelling, suspended lighting, design tiles and seating) isn’t the least bit ostentatious, with comfortably spaced tables, white tablecloths and silver cutlery, and the pizzas are amongst the best in Paris. Rare ingredients directly imported from Italy (special mozzarella – a mix of traditional and buffalo – lard from Colonnata, spicy Calabrian sausages, Taggiasca olives, anchovies from Salerno), perfectly thin and crunchy crusts and the generosity of the garnish, reminiscent of a Neopolitan family meal, makes them almost impossible to surpass. White (with no tomato base) or red, the pizzas are beautiful as well as delicious.

JUDY

A place so peaceful a stone’s throw from Luxembourg that you quickly make it your healthy refuge. Power bowls for breakfast, cooked or raw organic vegetable salads, acai bowls, gluten-free club sandwiches and smoothies to die for for lunch. And for dessert, fruit salads, cakes and cheesecakes treated in the healthy London tradition, without sugar, gluten or dairy products. A delight !

LADUREE

In a 19th century decor, chocolates and boxes are elegantly arranged on an antique piece of furniture with antique panellings. In the window shop there are exceptional pastries exposed where even, including the most classical ones such as the lemon tart or the frosted cream puff have a reinterpreted taste, and of course the famous macaroons, a series of colours and tastes, which makes it a Mecca for the pastry-making creation.

TOYO

An original place created by Toyomitsu Nakayama, former head of the Issé canteen, rue Sainte-Anne, then personal cook of Kenzo Takada. A gourmet and surprising cuisine that combines Japanese and French flavors, always focusing on fish and seafood.

GAYA

This is a place imagined by Pierre Gagnaire and dedicated to the sea : fish, seafood, urchins  and oysters of all kinds, cooked in a myriad of ways with only one meat dish a day! The interior design imagined by Christian Ghion is also a success, making us feel at a famous chef’s restaurant but keeping the atmosphere simple.
