Paris
in Île-de-France

Pierre Touitou, adding to his already glaringly golden Parisian enterprise of Vivant and Déviant, opened 19 Saint Roch. Located conveniently on the Rue Saint-Roch just meters away from the Pyramides metro stop, this newest venture remains loyal to its former Japanese restaurant roots with an open kitchen taking centre stage. Oak wood furniture lines the walls, bars and cabinets offset the monochrome tiled flooring and the stainless steel counter top becomes the prime sitting area for the best views upon the kitchen. On the menu? A steak tartare garnished with capers, chives and seasonal flowers; a fried daikon cake with a dollop of green pepper mayonnaise and a miso-vanilla ice cream soaked within a sweet rhubarb puree. Exquisite. 

A.T in Paris is a culinary symphony conducted by Chef Atsushi Tanaka. This Michelin-starred restaurant invites diners on an avant-garde gastronomic journey, where artistry meets Japanese-French flavours in every dish.

Sick of the French bistros? Head to Ama Siam for something different. They have delicious Thai food and a great wine selection. 

Laid-back restaurant with the perfect cozy feeling to enjoy some small plates, delicious wine, and great dessert. 

As if one Michelin star wasn't enough, Alain Passard has won 3 for this fantastic temple of fine dining dedicated to haute French cuisine. 

A glowing red LED light hangs precariously from the window ledge, setting Augustin apart from its fellow Saint-Germain relatives with a bright, luminous glow: small, intimate and remarkably cosy. A spontaneous visit doesn't come with much luck so instead, book your table well in advance for the chance to sip, nibble and dine on one of Paris's most divine happenings. From heart cheese platters, zucchini flowers stuffed with a citrus, ricotta filling and truffle covered gnocchi, the food is exceptional. But really it's the wine that hits the spot. With 900 bottles to choose from you're sure to find perfection. 

Nestled within a stunning vintage bistro adorned with 70s neon lights, tiled aesthetics, and a vibrant crowd, is wine bar Aux Deux Amis. This homey wine bar is all things authentic and French, with a daily selection of natural wines scribbled on the mirror. And no shortage of great dishes to accompany them!

L’Avant Comptoir de la Terre, an audacious pintxo bar by Yves Camdeborde, has redefined French dining since 2009. Bursting with scrumptious offerings and natural wines, it's a carnivore's dream and a lively, unforgettable experience.

Conveniently located in the Bastille area, Bistrot des Tournelles is a cozy and lively tavern with delicious french food. The high spirit atmosphere and beautiful interior transports you to a different time. 

When a wine bar meets a snack bar, you're left with a wonderful amalgamation of possibilities. Buttes serves healthy poured vin au verre to sip alongside an array of remarkably good plates cooked up by Clément Vesat (formerly at Bambino). 

Café de la Nouvelle Mairie is the epitome of a Parisian café and wine bar. With live jazz tunes and scrumptious comfort cuisine, it boasts an ideal terrace for people-watching. Notably, it was among the pioneers championing natural winemaking in Paris, with its leather-bound wine list narrating the living history of this movement in France.

Casa Bini in Paris transports its guests on a culinary journey to Italy. A charming and casual bistro with an Italian soul, it serves up authentic flavours with a menu that changes on the daily. 

One of Paris' most cozy wine bars. We love their list of natural wines and amazing food options. Tip: do not skip out on the desserts! 

Modern bistro with extremely delicious & interesting small Asian dishes and beautiful natural wines. Your best bet is to order the entire menu and stay for hours. 

If you catch your reflection in one of the mirror-lined walls of Chez Georges once, we can bet you'll be ogling them again and again and again. One trip here, and it's a confirmed instant classic. Great bistro-style dishes, friendly staff (for Paris anyway!). Parfait!

A lively, classic neighbourhood bistro that is always a joy. Order the most memorable and dangerously yummy mousse au chocolat. 

Chez L'Ami Jean in Paris is a carnivore's delight, an authentic bistro dishing out hearty French classics. Perfect for a friends' gathering, especially if you're not a vegetarian or on a diet. Don't miss their signature rice pudding.

There is no shortage of fine dining hotspots in Paris, but if you want something infinitely cosier then we strongly suggest you head to Cibus. 

The menu & interiors here are as fashionable as the clientele (& trust us they are chic). Seafood & vegetables are the name of the game here so expect something light & delicious. 

You can detect wisps of traditional French cuisine here, but there is nothing stodgy about this elegant & chic fine dining spot. Tip: order the chocolate soufflé!

This highly conceptual Left Bank restaurant focuses on haute-cuisine in a modern & refreshing way. We love the mystery dégustation. 

A festive and lively restaurant, Des Terres is the perfect spot for a celebration dinner or a fun night out. The service is impeccable and the food is made with natural, high-quality ingredients, all at affordable prices. The perfect neighborhood bistro! 

Vibrant Filippino influenced cuisine and a great natural wine list. Double Dragon is our go to canteen for good food, amazing service, and a cozy feeling. 

These days, there's nothing we like better than settling into a cosy wine bar for a few hours of great wines paired with even more delicious bites. Early June is one of the finest specimens of these types of wine bars we know.
