  • 228 Litres

    Paris, France

    At the foot of Butte Montmartre in Paris's 9th arrondissement, 228 Litres is a young, relaxed address opened by Pierre Renauld, formerly of Vantre, at age 26.

  • Ambassade d’Auvergne

    Paris, France

    On the edge of the Marais, Ambassade d'Auvergne has spent decades holding a quiet corner for the cooking of France's central highlands. The room trades on dark wood, checked tablecloths, and the kind of regional solidity that Paris's three-star circuit has long moved away from. Opinionated About Dining ranked it among Europe's recommended casual tables in both 2023 and 2024, and its wine list earned a White Star from Star Wine List.

  • Bonhomme

    Paris, France

    In the stylish heart of Faubourg Poissonnière, Bonhomme distills the spirit of modern Parisian bistronomy into an effortlessly chic experience. Hand-scraped walls, marble-topped pedestal tables, and a glass-paned cellar set the stage for a menu that favors substance over spectacle: crisp breaded pork croquettes with red onion and chili chutney, seared mackerel alongside braised pencil leeks and sorrel, and a silken dark chocolate mousse layered with caramel and crumble. This is where convivial energy meets culinary precision—an address that welcomes informed diners seeking character, craft, and the warm, urbane glow of a restaurant that understands exactly how people want to eat now.
