"At this cafe-turned-modern bistro, inventive restaurateur Florent Ciccoli shows off just how well he understands the tastes of creative young Parisians. The regularly changing menu features fresh food with a creative touch, like the delicate but flavorful tartelette of crabmeat, tarama, fava beans, celery, tandoori spices, and trout roe. Other recent dishes have included vitello tonnato with artichokes; barbecued rib steak with Catalan chicory, anchovies, and pommes Dauphine; and rhubarb millefeuille. There’s a great natural wine list too. Located in the 11th arrondissement. Know before you go: If it’s nice out, try to nab one of the tables out front on the sidewalk." - Alexander Lobrano
