The one place they'd point you to if they could only recommend a single spot in Paris. - Terra — TOPJAW
Big cuts of meat and big plates mean nobody leaves hungry — the salt-crust fish, the steak tartare topped with crispy potatoes and the wagyu tomahawk are all superbly balanced.
Heads up: A small menu of four starters and three mains, and each main is sized for two, so order carefully. - Parcelles — TOPJAW
A vast but genuinely well-curated wine list — not just long for the sake of it — plus a veal head carpaccio served on a warm plate so the fat melts, and gnocchi dripping with sage butter. - Boulangerie Utopie — TOPJAW
Sesame is their signature, and the sesame éclair is far more interesting than any chocolate one — as are the charcoal sesame roulé and the pain suisse.
Heads up: There's a queue for almost all of opening hours. - Tout Autour du Pain — Locavore Eats
The crisp, buttery layers were on another level — the best croissant of any bakery they visited — and the almond pastry filling was outstanding. - Kubri — TOPJAW
Contemporary Lebanese cooking so good it's 'no joke' — a generous piece of monkfish and rice cooked in fish stock stand out, and in a city where reviews are notoriously tough, bad ones are hard to find here. - Bar Nouveau — TOPJAW
Far more than straightforward cocktails — molecular-level technique used to build texture, including Goustav, a gold-leaf tribute to Klimt's 'The Kiss'.
Heads up: Plenty of the drinks, Goustav included, are seriously strong. - Dreamin' Man — TOPJAW
Excellent coffee poured by Yuichiro himself, pastries made by his girlfriend, and a real sense of community. - Pierre Hermé — Locavore Eats
The chocolate and passionfruit combination was surprisingly great, and all four — pistachio, vanilla, raspberry included — tasted good.
Heads up: Expensive, and they preferred Ladurée's macarons on texture.
