Parcelles

The 26 Best Restaurants In Paris - Paris - The Infatuation

"At Parcelles, you’ll get both charm and sophistication from a daily-changing menu of French classics done up with clever touches. Expect dishes like chou farci, or stuffed cabbage, filled with minced pork, foie gras, and flecks of pistachios. And if the starter of slightly seared escargot-style scallops topped with thin guanciale slices is on the menu, order it. While this Le Marais spot is white tablecloth territory, it somehow feels fun and fresh. In other words, get here for a long lunch, or anytime you need a fancy-ish meal and want to show up in sneakers and jeans without anyone telling you to beat it." - sara lieberman, lindsey tramuta

"The quintessence of retro Paris! In a side street between Arts et Métiers and the Centre Pompidou, this 1936 bistro would not have been out of place on the set of Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris: authentic bistro furniture, bare or beige walls, vintage tiled flooring, gilded ceiling, and a copper and wooden counter. The food is all that you'd expect: pressed pork shank, line-caught sea bass with spelt risotto and smoked eel sauce, and, of course, the dark chocolate and caramelised pecan tart. Ten out of ten for this restaurant that fully deserves its success. (Book if you can.)" - Michelin Inspector

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

"From the moment it opened in 2021, this bistro à vins in the Marais has been packed to the gills by a crowd who love propriétaire Sarah Michielsen’s hospitality, sommelier Bastin Fidelin’s wine list, and the delicious cosmopolitan modern bistro cooking of chef Julien Chevallier. The chalkboard menu evolves constantly but runs to dishes like baby clams steamed with herbs and shallots in white wine, vitello tonnato, braised beef cheek in breadcrumbs with beef jus and baby vegetables, and tiramisu with toasted hazelnuts. This stylish comfort food is exactly what Paris is hungry for right now, especially paired with charming service. Located in the 3rd arrondissement. Know before you go: There’s an outstanding wine list, including a great selection by the glass." - Alexander Lobrano

"It’s hard to make a long midweek lunch feel cheeky in a city where even working stiffs call their lunch break the “twelve to two.” But Parcelles is where to give it a go. Mismatched ceramics and white tablecloths add sophistication to the vintage tiled floors and wraparound bar—call it a bistro that got Botox. The glow-up translates to the daily-changing menu, which nudges traditional flavors into fine dining territory, like fish tartare with ponzu vinaigrette and a pig’s head terrine that somehow feels fancy, with its delicate ribbons of white fat and homemade pickle garnish. Service is friendly by Parisian standards, which seals the deal on making this the place to take the rest of the day off (you were gonna do it anyway), and fuel up with a second bottle from the 1,000 on the wine list before doing major damage at the Marais boutiques nearby." - emily monaco
