Best Michelin-Starred Restaurants in Paris

How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically.

  • 114, Faubourg

    1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

    Housed within Le Bristol on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 114, Faubourg holds a Michelin star and a wine list of 1,200 selections across 140,000 bottles. Chef Arnaud Faye leads a kitchen that applies modern precision to French classical foundations, while the gilded interior — dahlia motifs, an open staircase, visible kitchen below — makes the room as much of a statement as the food.

  • Accents Table Bourse

    1 Michelin star

    Michelin-starred Accents Table Bourse redefines Franco-Japanese cuisine through owner-pastry chef Ayumi Sugiyama's poetic vision, where chef Romain Mahi crafts dishes like Arctic char with clementine jus in an elegant 24-seat sanctuary near Palais Brongniart.

  • Agapé

    1 Michelin star

    In the 17th arrondissement, Agapé operates at the upper tier of Paris's modern cuisine scene, where Franco-Japanese precision meets ingredient-led generosity. Chef Yoshi Nagato, trained at Maison Rostang, Le Cinq, and Épicure, constructs menus around premium seasonal produce, while pastry is handled by his partner Asuka Ishiba.

  • Aida

    1 Michelin star

    At a nine-seat counter on a quiet 7th arrondissement lane, Aida delivers a single tasting menu that draws direct lines between Japanese technique and French produce. Teppanyaki-cooked Brittany lobster and chateaubriand, paired with Burgundy wines, define a format that sits apart from Paris's broader Japanese dining scene. Open Tuesday through Sunday for dinner only, with a whitewashed facade that gives little away from the street.

  • Akrame

    1 Michelin star

    A Michelin-starred address in the 8th arrondissement, Akrame operates behind a monumental coach gateway near La Madeleine, signalling its intentions through deliberate concealment rather than display. Chef Akrame Benallal's carte blanche format prioritises technical invention over convention, earning 85 points from La Liste in 2025 and a ranking of 94th in Opinionated About Dining's Classical in Europe list for 2024.

  • Alan Geaam

    1 Michelin star

    A Michelin-starred table in the 16th arrondissement where Lebanese heritage and classical French technique intersect with precision and colour. Alan Geaam holds a Michelin star (2024–2025) and an Opinionated About Dining ranking of #402 in Europe, placing it in a distinct tier among Paris's creative kitchens. The €€€€ price point reflects the ambition of the cooking.

  • Aldehyde

    1 Michelin star

    Awarded its first Michelin star in 2025 after holding a Michelin Plate in 2024, Aldehyde sits in the Marais on Rue du Pont Louis-Philippe with a creative menu from chef Youssef Marzouk. At the €€€€ tier, it operates well below the three-star creative houses but earns a 4.9 on Google across 106 reviews, making it one of the sharper-value entries in Paris's ambitious cooking scene.

  • Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen

    3 Michelin stars · Exceptional wine program

    Paris grand dining has narrowed into a serious contest between palace rooms, chef-led temples, and creative tasting-menu houses. Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen belongs to the city’s highest luxury bracket, anchored by Yannick Alléno’s modern French vocabulary and a recognition stack that includes Michelin 3 Stars, La Liste 98 points for 2026, and repeated appearances in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants extended rankings.

  • Alliance

    2 Michelin stars · Exceptional wine program

    Alliance showcases the extraordinary partnership between Japanese Chef Toshitaka Omiya and maître d' Shawn Joyeux at their Michelin-starred Latin Quarter restaurant, where French culinary tradition meets Japanese precision through seasonal tasting menus and polished wine pairings in an intimate 30-seat setting.

  • Amâlia

    1 Michelin star

    Amâlia earned its first Michelin star in 2025 after holding the Michelin Plate in 2024, marking one of the faster critical ascents in the 11th arrondissement's modern dining scene. Located on Rue de la Fontaine au Roi, the restaurant operates in the upper tier of Paris neighbourhood dining, where the competition is increasingly serious and the margins for complacency are narrow. A 4..

  • Anne

    1 Michelin star

    Housed within the Pavillon de la Reine on Place des Vosges, Anne operates at the summit of the Marais dining tier. The setting spans a library lounge and a courtyard garden, making it among the more architecturally distinctive addresses in the third arrondissement.

  • Anona

    1 Michelin star

    Anona holds a Michelin star earned in both 2024 and 2025, placing chef Gennaro Balice among the steadier new names in Paris's 17th arrondissement.

  • Apicius

    1 Michelin star · Exceptional wine program

    Apicius occupies a grand private mansion in the 8th arrondissement, where Mathieu Pacaud's cuisine d'auteur works a fine balance between classical French tradition and a restrained vegetable-forward direction. Rated 85 points on La Liste 2026 and recognised by the We're Smart Green Guide, it sits firmly in Paris's upper tier of destination dining, with the inner garden and Belle Époque architecture setting the register before a dish arrives.

  • Armani Ristorante

    1 Michelin star

    On the Boulevard Saint-Germain, Armani Ristorante holds a Michelin star (2025) within one of Paris's most design-conscious dining rooms. The kitchen, led by Michele Brogioni and Giovanni Papi, delivers Italian cuisine at the upper end of the sixth arrondissement's formal dining tier.

  • Arpège

    3 Michelin stars

    Arpège belongs to the Paris fine-dining tier where technical French cooking is judged against its ability to evolve, not merely preserve. Alain Passard’s long turn from slow-cooked meats toward garden-led cuisine gives the restaurant its critical importance: vegetables are treated as the main argument, backed by Michelin in 2025, La Liste Top Restaurants 2026 at 97 points, and decades of international ranking history.

  • AT

    1 Michelin star

    On a quiet stretch of Rue du Cardinal Lemoine in the 5th arrondissement, AT holds a Michelin star and a place in the Opinionated About Dining Top 100 in Europe for 2025. Chef Atsushi Tanaka draws on training under Pierre Gagnaire, Quique Dacosta, and Esben Holmboe Bang to produce a menu that moves between French technique, Nordic restraint, and Japanese precision — a distinctive position in Paris's creative dining tier.

  • Auguste

    1 Michelin star

    A Michelin-starred address on the 7th arrondissement's Rue de Bourgogne, Auguste has held a star continuously through 2024 and 2025, positioning it among the arrondissement's most consistent modern cuisine destinations.

  • Automne

    1 Michelin star

    A one-Michelin-starred address in the 11th arrondissement where Japanese chef Nobuyuki Akishige applies classical French technique to seasonal produce with notable restraint. The pared-back bistro interior and tightly edited menu make Automne one of the more considered options at the €€€€ tier in eastern Paris. Lunch service offers a more compact window into the same kitchen logic at a pace that suits the neighbourhood.

  • Baieta

    1 Michelin star

    A Michelin-starred address in the Latin Quarter where Chef Julia Sedefdjian transplants the Mediterranean coast to Paris, ranked 363rd in Europe by Opinionated About Dining in 2024. The menu reads like a provençal lexicon — bouillabaieta, pissaladière, socca — executed with the precision her training demands. For those seeking southern French cooking at serious depth, Baieta makes a clear case.

  • Bellefeuille

    1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

    Set within a 19th-century private mansion in Paris's 16th arrondissement, Bellefeuille holds a Michelin star and an Opinionated About Dining ranking for its vegetable- and seafood-focused French gastronomic menu, much of it sourced from the property's own garden. The wine list runs to 1,450 selections across 10,000 bottles, with particular depth in Burgundy, Champagne, and the Loire.

  • Benoit

    1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

    A Michelin-starred address on Rue Saint-Martin in Paris's 4th arrondissement, Benoit holds a 2024 Michelin star under chef Fabienne Eymard, working in the Contemporary French and Classic Cuisine register at the €€€ price point. Service runs lunch and dinner daily, making it one of the more consistently accessible starred tables in central Paris.

  • Blanc Shinichi Sato

    2 Michelin stars

    Blanc holds two Michelin stars (2025) and 86 points on the 2026 La Liste rankings, placing it firmly among Paris's most serious creative tables. Chef Jean Claude Roge works from 52 Rue de Longchamp in the 16th arrondissement, a quieter residential address that filters for guests who come specifically for the cooking rather than the spectacle.

  • Chakaiseki Akiyoshi

    1 Michelin star

    France's only restaurant devoted to the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, Chakaiseki Akiyoshi holds a Michelin star and seats just 16 guests at its omakase counter on Rue Letellier in the 15th arrondissement. The cha-kaiseki format, historically served alongside matcha in formal tea ceremony settings, frames each course around seasonal ingredients prepared live before the table. Scored 77 points in the 2026 La Liste rankings.

  • Comice

    1 Michelin star · Exceptional wine program

    Canadian warmth meets Parisian sophistication at Comice Paris, where chef Noam Gedalof's seasonal tasting menu showcases modern French cuisine in an intimate blue-walled dining room, while Etheliya Hananova's front-of-house expertise delivers hospitality that transforms fine dining into genuine connection.

  • Contraste

    1 Michelin star · Exceptional wine program

    Contraste brings a South American-trained perspective to the 8th arrondissement's modern French table, holding a Michelin star and ranking 90th in Opinionated About Dining's 2025 European rankings. Chef Matias Perdomo applies a technically rigorous approach that sits comfortably inside Paris's one-star tier without imitating it. The address on Rue d'Anjou places it firmly within the city's established fine-dining corridor.

  • Datil

    1 Michelin star

    A Michelin-starred address in the 3rd arrondissement where vegetables take the lead and seasonal produce from local growers shapes every plate. Chef Manon Fleury has built a kitchen around ecological accountability, earning recognition from both Michelin and the We're Smart Green Guide. The price sits at €€€€, but the proposition is grounded in restraint and conviction rather than luxury for its own sake.

  • Divellec

    1 Michelin star · Exceptional wine program

    Divellec has anchored Paris's serious seafood conversation since 1983, first under Jacques Le Divellec and now under Michelin-starred Mathieu Pacaud. The 7th arrondissement address on Rue Fabert keeps faith with Atlantic-sourced produce — wild Breton turbot, small-boat sole meunière — while a recently expanded winter garden room adds a quieter register to the classic dining room overlooking the Esplanade des Invalides.

  • Don Juan II

    1 Michelin star

    Don Juan II is a Michelin-starred Art Deco yacht moored at Port Debilly on the Seine, opposite the Eiffel Tower. Chef Frédéric Anton — the three-star force behind Le Pré Catelan — brings signature dishes from his celebrated kitchen aboard a 2.5-hour gourmet cruise past Paris's most recognisable monuments.

  • Epicure

    3 Michelin stars · Wine Spectator Grand Award · Exceptional wine program

    Epicure, the three-Michelin-star restaurant inside Le Bristol Paris on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, operates as one of France's most decorated dining rooms. Chef Arnaud Faye leads the kitchen, while Wine Director Baptiste Gillet-Delrieu oversees a cellar of 135,000 bottles. Ranked 24th in Opinionated About Dining's Classical Europe list for 2025, and awarded 98 points by La Liste in 2026, it represents the formal French haute cuisine tradition at full commitment.

  • Épisodes

    1 Michelin star

    A Michelin-starred address in the 17th arrondissement, Épisodes brings a tasting menu of contemporary technique and serious produce to the well-heeled Monceau quarter. The room — marble, wood, and stone — signals the register before the first course arrives. Among Paris's single-star creative tables, it occupies the more architecturally composed, neighbourhood-rooted end of the spectrum.

  • ES

    1 Michelin star

    ES holds a Michelin star on one of the 7th arrondissement's most patrician streets, where the density of ministerial buildings and ambassador residences creates a dining public with exacting expectations. The modern cuisine format here operates within that pressure, producing food that earns its place in a neighbourhood that tolerates little excess.

  • Espadon

    1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Exceptional wine program

    Inside the Ritz Paris on Place Vendôme, Espadon holds a Michelin star under chef Eugénie Béziat and a White Star recognition from Star Wine List. The kitchen works within the French gastronomic tradition, placing it in a tier occupied by hotel dining rooms that treat their restaurant as a serious culinary address rather than an amenity.

  • FIEF

    1 Michelin star

    At FIEF on Rue de la Folie Méricourt, Victor Mercier's one-Michelin-star counter in the 11th arrondissement enforces a strict rule: every ingredient must originate in France. Sichuan pepper from Gers, yuzu from Montpellier, miso from Burgundy. The counter format puts diners close enough to the kitchen team to hear the reasoning behind each dish in real time, which changes the calculus of what a €€€€ meal here actually costs.

  • Fleur de Pavé

    1 Michelin star · Exceptional wine program

    A one-Michelin-star address in the 2nd arrondissement where Sylvain Sendra builds modern menus around produce from Asafumi Yamashita's celebrated kitchen garden in Yvelines. The format is compact and precise, with tightly windowed sittings and a wine list that punches above the restaurant's size. Ranked #548 among Europe's top restaurants by Opinionated About Dining in 2025.

  • Frédéric Simonin

    1 Michelin star

    A Michelin-starred address on Rue Bayen in the 17th arrondissement, Frédéric Simonin positions itself within Paris's serious modern French tier through producer-led sourcing, precise sauce work, and the credentials of a 2019 Meilleur Ouvrier de France.

  • Galanga

    1 Michelin star

    Inside the Art Deco Monsieur George hotel on Rue Washington, Galanga operates at the intersection of classical French technique and a produce-first philosophy championed by chef Thomas Danigo. The €€€€ price tier places it among the 8th arrondissement's most considered fine dining addresses, where vegetables lead the menu architecture and Michelin-recognised craft shapes every plate.

  • Gaya par Pierre Gagnaire

    1 Michelin star · Exceptional wine program

    Behind a striking blue façade on Rue de Saint-Simon in the 7th arrondissement, Gaya par Pierre Gagnaire holds a Michelin star for seafood-forward modern cuisine that trades formality for precision. The menu orbits the ocean — carpaccio, cured roe, langoustines — while the room reads as a chic brasserie rather than a grand dining room. For 7th-arrondissement dining at €€€ pricing, it occupies a distinct niche between neighbourhood bistro and full haute-cuisine theatre.

  • Geoélia

    1 Michelin star

    On a corner of the 16th arrondissement, Geoélia brings the Atlantic coast to Paris with seasonal Breton seafood and vegetables given equal weight on the plate. Chef Camille Saint-M'Leux, formerly of Villa9Trois, draws from Roscoff fish markets and Paimpol fields to construct a menu that shifts with the tides. The bright dining room, anchored by two Murano chandeliers, sets an occasion-ready tone without the formality of the grands restaurants.

  • Géosmine

    1 Michelin star

    A Michelin-starred address on Rue de la Folie Méricourt, Géosmine places Chef Maxime Bouttier's creative technique in direct conversation with French terroir. Ranked 409th in Europe by Opinionated About Dining (2025) and awarded a White Star by Star Wine List, it sits at the serious end of the 11th arrondissement's dining scene, where ingredient-led ambition meets neighbourhood-scale intimacy.

  • Granite

    1 Michelin star · Exceptional wine program

    Granite holds a Michelin star in the 1st arrondissement and sits within a Paris modern-cuisine tier defined by ingredient discipline and vegetable-forward cooking. Chef Tom Meyer's plates read as composed and colour-precise, with sustainability and near-zero waste shaping the sourcing logic. For the price bracket, the kitchen's commitment to produce over protein sets it apart from most of its Louvre-quarter neighbours.

  • Guy Savoy

    2 Michelin stars · Wine Spectator Grand Award · Exceptional wine program

    Occupying the grand salons of the Monnaie de Paris on the Left Bank, Guy Savoy sits among the more decorated addresses in the French capital, carrying two Michelin stars, a 99-point La Liste score for 2026, and Les Grandes Tables du Monde recognition. Dinner here moves through a tightly sequenced progression of classical French technique, with a wine cellar spanning 34,000 bottles across Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, and beyond.

  • Hakuba

    2 Michelin stars · Exceptional wine program

    Hakuba Paris places Japanese multi-course discipline inside the Louvre-side dining circuit, with Takuya Watanabe’s name giving the room immediate seriousness among the city’s high-end Japanese addresses. Its recognition from Michelin, La Liste and Opinionated About Dining puts it in the narrow Paris tier where kaiseki structure, French luxury expectations and counter-level precision meet.

  • HANADA

    1 Michelin star

    On Quai Voltaire, behind a black façade with no signage, HANADA runs one of Paris's most disciplined omakase counters. Ten seats, a single menu, and a program built around French-sourced fish — Mediterranean tuna, Brittany catch, Auvergne trout — treated with the precision of Tokyo's upper-tier sushi tradition. The no-photography rule signals where the priorities lie: entirely at the counter.

  • Helen

    1 Michelin star · Exceptional wine program

    A Michelin-starred address on Rue Berryer in Paris's 8th arrondissement, Helen brings an unusual pairing of coastal seafood and Southern American grill techniques to a neighbourhood dominated by grand French institutions. Ranked third on Esquire's Best New Restaurants list in 2021 and holding its star through 2025, it occupies a distinct niche inside the Paris fine-dining tier — one that prizes sourcing discipline over spectacle.

  • Il Carpaccio

    1 Michelin star · Exceptional wine program

    Tucked within the Royal Monceau, Il Carpaccio unfolds like a modern winter garden, its path paved with shimmering mother-of-pearl—a Baroque whisper that sets an elegant, intimate tone. Chefs Oliver Piras and Alessandra Del Favero craft Italian cuisine of notable clarity, where meticulous technique yields dishes that are lively, precise, and free of ornament for ornament’s sake. Expect star ingredients—gleaming seafood, garden-fresh vegetables, noble meats—to be honored with restraint and confidence, paired with a wine cellar that favors Piedmont and Tuscany. This is contemporary Italian dining polished to an art of understatement, in a setting that makes every course feel like a private discovery.

  • Imperial Treasure

    1 Michelin star

    Imperial Treasure brings the precision and scope of a serious Chinese kitchen to the 8th arrondissement, earning a Michelin Plate and an Opinionated About Dining ranking among Asia's top 200 restaurants. The €€€€ price tier puts it in direct conversation with the neighbourhood's French grandes tables, offering a credible alternative for those seeking Cantonese and regional Chinese cooking at formal-dining standards in Paris.

  • Irwin

    1 Michelin star

    At 22 rue Cambacérès, Irwin Durand's seven-table room operates on the logic of classical French technique applied with contemporary restraint. Trained under Joël Robuchon, Bernard Loiseau, and Guy Savoy, Durand runs a seasonal surprise menu alongside executive chef Camille Larquemin and pastry chef Tessa Ponzo. The format is intimate and deliberate, placing it squarely in Paris's emerging tier of chef-driven rooms that trade scale for precision.

  • Jacques Faussat

    1 Michelin star

    Jacques Faussat occupies a specific position in Paris's dining map: a 17th-arrondissement address where Gascon tradition, shaped by a decade at Le Trou Gascon under Alain Dutournier and the influence of Michel Guérard, arrives without the price architecture of the city's grand tables. Awarded 'Notable' by Michelin, it draws a 4.6 rating across 658 reviews — a strong signal for a neighbourhood room that trades in substance over spectacle.

  • Jean Imbert au Plaza Athénée

    1 Michelin star · Exceptional wine program

    At the Plaza Athénée on Avenue Montaigne, Jean Imbert au Plaza Athénée holds a Michelin star and a 2025 Les Grandes Tables du Monde award for its reinterpretation of French culinary heritage. The marble table d'hôte, gilded mouldings, and chandeliers provide the setting for dishes rooted in classical French sourcing traditions, from Parisian langoustines to Chambertin-sauced seabass. Open Tuesday through Saturday for dinner, with Friday and Saturday lunch service also available.

  • Jin

    1 Michelin star

    Jin brings the discipline of Tokyo's omakase tradition to Paris's 1st arrondissement, where Chef Taicho Sato operates in a format that rewards patience and precision over spectacle.

  • Kei

    3 Michelin stars · Exceptional wine program

    Among Paris's three-Michelin-star restaurants, Kei occupies a distinct position: the only address at this tier where Japanese technique shapes classical French haute cuisine from the inside out.

  • L'Abysse au Pavillon Ledoyen

    2 Michelin stars · Exceptional wine program

    A two-Michelin-starred Japanese counter operating inside one of Paris's most storied fine-dining addresses, L'Abysse au Pavillon Ledoyen places Yannick Alléno's sponsorship of a precise omakase format against the grandeur of the Champs-Élysées gardens. Ranked 91 points by La Liste in 2025, it occupies a specific niche where French institutional prestige meets Japanese counter discipline, open Tuesday through Friday for lunch and dinner only.

  • L'Ambroisie

    3 Michelin stars · Exceptional wine program

    L'Ambroisie places classical French cooking at the formal end of the Paris spectrum, far from the chalkboard bistro but still tied to the same national grammar of sauce, season, and service rhythm. Its Place des Vosges setting, La Liste 98-point score for 2026, and long record of international recognition make it a reference point for readers comparing old-guard Paris dining with newer luxury formats.

  • L'Archeste

    1 Michelin star

    A Michelin-starred address in the 16th arrondissement where menus change daily according to the market and the chef's judgment. L'Archeste operates without a fixed repertoire, placing it firmly in the tradition of produce-first French cooking.

  • L'Arôme

    1 Michelin star

    Holding a Michelin star in consecutive years (2024 and 2025), L'Arôme operates in the dense upper tier of 8th arrondissement dining, where modern French kitchens compete on sourcing discipline and technical precision. Chef Yat Fung Cheung leads a room that reads quietly confident rather than performative — a register increasingly common among Paris's one-star addresses that have stopped chasing the three-star aesthetic.

  • L'Astrance

    1 Michelin star

    L'Astrance occupies a storied address on Rue de Longchamp in the 16th arrondissement, where Pascal Barbot's contemporary French kitchen draws on Asian influences and a deep commitment to produce. The glass wine cellar, curated by maître d' Christophe Rohat, has become as much a reason to book as the food itself. Ranked in the World's 50 Best Restaurants every year from 2006 to 2017, this is one of Paris's most credentialled creative tables.

  • L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon - Étoile

    1 Michelin star · Exceptional wine program

    Inside the Publicis Drugstore on the Champs-Élysées, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon holds a Michelin star and a consistent place in Opinionated About Dining's Classical Europe rankings, placing it among Paris's most credentialed counter-dining addresses. Chefs Eric Bouchenoire and Thierry Karakachian run a format built on the Robuchon atelier model: open kitchen, counter seating, and a French menu structured around technical precision rather than theatrical flourish.

  • L'Écrin

    1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Exceptional wine program

    L'Écrin Paris revolutionizes fine dining through its unprecedented wine-first approach, where sommelier Xavier Thuizat's selections from 2,500 bottles guide chef Boris Campanella's elegant creations within the luxurious Hôtel de Crillon, creating personalized gastronomic experiences that reverse traditional culinary conventions.

  • L'Escarbille

    A Michelin-starred address in the Bois de Boulogne, La Grande Cascade operates from a Second Empire pavilion that has anchored the western edge of Parisian fine dining for well over a century.

    La Scène holds two Michelin stars on Avenue Matignon in Paris's 8th arrondissement, where chef Stéphanie Le Quellec runs one of the few high-prestige kitchens in the city led by a woman.

    1 Michelin star

    Le Faham by Kelly Rangama brings Réunionnais reference points into Paris’s modern-dining register, with Michelin recognition and a polished room in the 17th arrondissement.

    Le Gabriel at La Réserve Paris holds three Michelin stars and a 97-point La Liste ranking under Chef Jérôme Banctel, placing it among the 8th arrondissement's most decorated tables.
