The 15 Hottest New Restaurants in Paris
"At long last, one of the most beautiful restaurants in the world — whose sumptuous Belle Epoque dining rooms were unveiled in 1901 by French president Émile Loubet — once again has food that’s worthy of its palmy elegance. (Check out the wanderlust-inducing painting of the sunny southern destinations served by trains from the Gare de Lyon, the train station where the restaurant is located.) This is all thanks to the work of chef Michel Rostang and his daughters, who know run the place. Get here early before a trip or celebrate an arrival in Paris with dishes like a pate en croute of wild game and foie gras, quenelles de brochet (fluffy pike perch dumplings, a speciality of Lyon) in Newburg sauce, Sole Bonne Femme, and Poulet de Bresse — possibly the world’s best chicken — in a tarragon cream sauce with grilled Basmati rice. Profiteroles with vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate sauce are served from a tableside trolly, and note that the restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner." - Alexander Lobrano
