The Best Restaurants in Paris, According to a French Food Expert | Eater

"This friendly wine bar and bistro is the perfect place to find excellent French comfort food and a great bottle of wine without the hassle of booking three months in advance. Scottish wine merchant and longtime Paris expat Tim Johnston founded the restaurant; today, his daughter Margaux runs the dining room while her French partner, Romain Roudeau, runs the kitchen. The pair orchestrate a Gallic gastronomic experience that lives up to their motto: “We always deliver the goods.” The menu follows the seasons, but the kitchen displays its style with dishes like celery soup with cockles; chives with whipped cream; sauteed wild mushroom with egg yolk and prosciutto cream; duckling filet with Swiss chard and chestnuts; and scallops with leek, baby potatoes, and parsley cream. Located in the 1st arrondissement. Best for: Rubbing elbows with the locals." - Alexander Lobrano
