Le Chateaubriand

Le Chateaubriand

Cuisine: | Featured in City Guides

Wander by Le Chateaubriand and you’d never guess it was one of the top fifty restaurants in the world, at least according to San Pellegrino’s annual list.   In fact, it ranked number nine in 2009, which is no small feat.   This humble bistro looks like it’s been around forever: The tables are a weathered wood, the floors made of faded tiles, dim globes hanging from the ceiling, and chalkboards along several walls, featuring wine makers and wines by the glass.  Upfront, there’s a quaint bar with a Marzocco coffee maker and a window onto the street. Not exactly what you’d imagine to find at one of the toughest reservations in the world.  The menu is a 65 Euro tasting menu, a pretty good deal considering there are over six courses.  The most pretentious thing about Le Chateaubriand is its...

Bones

Bones

Cuisine: | Featured in City Guides, Restaurant

“We could be anywhere but Paris,” my dining companion uttered as we sat down to dinner at Bones.  In fact, it feels more like Bushwick, Brooklyn than Paris, France.  The servers all speak English and the crowd takes cigarette breaks between each course. This new hotspot looks more like a construction site than a restaurant that’s open for business, taking the notion of ‘bare bones’ to a new level.   The floors are cement, the walls completely unfinished and coming undone, some brick, others stone or unfinished plaster, and a metal beam in the center of it all.  Just about everything is exposed. Bones is where the hipsters hang out these days, listening to alternative music pumping through the stereo, while feasting on hearts and other eccentric body parts.  Dinner here is like an episode of Fear Factor:Food (if that were...

Marche Bastille

Marche Bastille

Cuisine: | Featured in City Guides

There is no shortage of outdoor food markets in Paris, that’s for sure, but some are way better than others, and Bastille happens to be my favorite. Why? Because there’s so much variety. The biggest problem is how much there is just how bustling and big it is. My advice is to do a dry run without stopping to shop to get the lay of the land, which involves a hefty slew of produce stands, several local cheese and fish shops, bread stalls, spices, nuts, olives, you name it. I say go hungry, and preferably on a Sunday morning, when you can make a pit stop at…

Le 6 Paul Bert

Le 6 Paul Bert

Cuisine: | Featured in City Guides

Ever since Bertrand Auboyneau opened Bistrot Paul Bert, Rue Paul Bert has become somewhat of a dining destination.  His latest venture Le 6 Paul Bert, named after its address, is located just down the street from his always buzzy bistro in an equally laidback looking space, furbished with light wood floors, picture windows, glossy red tables, gray snakeskin banquettes, and a clever chandelier made out of forks and spoons.  Think farmhouse chic. You wouldn’t expect to find a tasting menu at a casual spot with a long communal table, but these days you can never tell.  Le 6 Paul Bert is an ambitious spot with a daily changing menu with no real loyalty to country.  In other words, it’s not a French restaurant, but a seasonal one.  Maybe that’s why I was disappointed with dinner here and why so...
