The 11 Best Places to Eat in Paris Right Now - AFAR

"In an inconspicuous corner near Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, this far-19th-arrondissement seafood spot serves elegantly modern, shareable plates devised by chef Sam Schwarz. Meals begin with a signature amuse-bouche — an oyster (seasonally from St. Vaast or Oléron) paired with a spicy margarita shot — and continue through complex preparations like tuna tartare with Roman-style crispy artichokes and a ham gel, raw cuttlefish with red cabbage and kumquats, and occasionally a large pork chop meant for sharing. Finish with a superb cheese selection (think triple-cream Brillat-Savarin or pungent Époisses) and a glass of natural Cabernet Franc." - Eleanor Aldridge

"A gem of a Parisian brasserie, where Marius de Ponfilly, formerly chef at Clamato, has teamed up with Kevin Deulio. Previously at Bar Vendôme in The Ritz, the latter has taken to the restaurant floor like a duck to water. The pair have found a formula that is as irreverent as it is on point: choice cuts of meat and plates to be shared between friends (akasocesin Parisian slang), not forgetting their trademark fish and seafood… We recommend the Pyrenean trout and its indulgent basil sauce, or the delicious wedge clams from Le Guilvinec in a spicy parsley sauce." - Michelin Inspector

Where to Eat In Paris Right Now - Paris - The Infatuation

"It’s unclear why more restaurants haven’t thought to pair oysters with a margarita shooter, but it’s definitely the best way to begin a meal at this restaurant near Parc des Buttes Chaumont. Tourists rarely come up this far, so expect to find fashionable locals gathering on the later side for a dinner of predominantly sea-based small plates. Service is friendly and attentive, and the food ranges from simple things like bulots with mayonnaise to more creative dishes, like whole mackerel doused in tandoori sauce and served with a broccoli puree and sliced kumquats. With a throwback soundtrack featuring “I Think We’re Alone Now” and “Dancing in the Dark,” eating here is as much about the fun, feel-good ambiance as the food itself." - Sara Lieberman
