The 15 Hottest New Restaurants in Paris

"From the same team who opened the deservedly popular Les Arlots bistro next door, this new wine bar, not far from the Gare du Nord, also features the Gallic comfort food cooking of chef Thomas Brachet, as well as a broad selection of mostly natural and organic wines. The chalkboard menu changes regularly, but runs to dishes like braised octopus with Morteau sausage in Beaujolais sauce; blood pudding with potato puree; endive salad garnished with walnuts, radishes, potatoes, mushrooms, and hard-boiled eggs, topped with mayonnaise; and sandwiches, including one of roast pork with pickled carrots and cilantro pesto. No reservations, so get there early — this place is always packed." - Alexander Lobrano
