"Open for: Lunch and dinnerPrice range: $$Located in the tranquil 18th arrondissement far from the crowds of tourists around Sacré-Coeur and the Place du Tertre, this laidback neighborhood bistro pulls a discerning crowd of locals and word-of-mouth customers from other parts of Paris for the excellent bistro cooking of Paul Boudier and Albert Touton. Many of the dishes have a Southern French or Italian accent, including superb house-made pastas, ceviche with shavings of poutargue (bottarga), and pork belly cooked in cider with roasted fennel. Located in the 18th arrondissement.Vibe check: This is where the chefs go on their night off." - Alexander Lobrano
