"Perched on the banks of the Seine with sweeping panoramic windows and a new rooftop terrace, Le Tout de la Tour, this 400-year-old institution pairs dazzling views of Notre-Dame with traditional French haute cuisine given contemporary touches by Chef Yannick Franques (a Meilleur Ouvrier de France); the restaurant is also famed for its extraordinarily large wine cellar, curated with more than 300,000 bottles, making it as much a destination for oenophiles as for those seeking historic Parisian dining." - Lane Nieset
