Bastille in Paris

5 places for Bastille in Paris, picked by creators — with what they said.

• Blanca Restaurant — Arielle in Paris
  Praised as one of the best restaurants in Paris, with food quality, excellent service, and a chic atmosphere that fully justify the price — the bread (warm cornbread) was singled out as especially delicious.
  Heads up: Noted that the 19.50-euro starter-plus-main set is only available for lunch Monday through Saturday, making lunch the best-value time to visit.
• Le Train Bleu — Les Frenchies
  The crêpes Suzette is declared "hands down the best I've ever had", the chicken is juicy rather than dry, and the lamb tastes like something a mother would make. The baba au rhum, flambéed right at the table, is another showstopper.
  Heads up: Definitely on the expensive side (though considered worth it).
• Bofinger — Les Frenchies
  The choucroute is excellent — eating it here means eating the real thing. The pork belly melts in your mouth and the meringue on the île flottante is as light as air.
  Heads up: Choucroute is noted as a winter dish — a seasonal item on the menu.
• Le Quincy — Messinger Guides
  Concluded that 'the blanquette is superb,' with veal so tender it falls apart in the blanquette de veau, also calling it the perfect address to try boeuf bourguignon.
  Heads up: Noted there are no small plates or natural wines here, and not to expect a modern style.
• Bistrot Des Tournelles — TOPJAW
