"Near: Musée d’Orsay, Louvre This corner restaurant in Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a fairly quiet spot (the thick carpet and velour banquets absorb the clinking of cutlery and wine glasses) but the huge windows keep it from feeling stuffy. Definitely come here post-museum and not before—your best bet after working through the fairly traditional menu and a bottle from their 21-page wine list is a digestive walk along the Seine (or a nap back at the hotel)." - sophie friedman
