The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Åke Table & Vin

-
Rank 2. Chez Babo
Wine Bar
-
Rank 3. Sain
Bakery
-
-
A former Le Bristol and Le Taillevent sommelier opened this neo-bistro on a quiet 11th arrondissement street, which probably explains why the wine list runs to over three thousand bottles. The cooking leans fine dining, with careful sourcing and considered plating, but the room keeps things relaxed enough that nobody feels underdressed. A name worth knowing for a long, unhurried evening.
-
Rank 6. Amâlia
Modern French New American
Tablecloths and stylish service set Amâlia apart from its neighbors in the 11th, where the dining room leans toward a quieter kind of elegance. The Italian couple behind it, she on pastry and he on the stove, work modern French cooking with precise acidic notes and the occasional Italian nudge. A Michelin star keeps company with that conviction. Fine dining, and dressed accordingly.

Rank 12. La Combine
Dessert
-
Manon Fleury has written a whole book on grains, and you can taste the obsession at this Michelin-starred fine dining room in the Marais. The cooking is almost entirely plant-based, with animal protein appearing rarely enough to feel like a guest. Vegetables, fruit, grains, and careful sourcing from short local chains do the heavy lifting, and the waxed concrete and velvet banquettes keep things grounded. Book well ahead.
-
Rank 14. Comptoir Sur Mer
Seafood
-
A converted shoe factory in the 11th, with exposed brick and the kind of lighting that makes everyone look like they know what they're doing. Le Café de l'Usine runs all day as a café and bistro, shifting from coffee to a tight tasting menu come evening. Lunch pulls from the same kitchen with a shorter format. The cooking is precise and unfussy, each dish built around one quietly confident flourish.
-
Rank 16. Amulette
Coffee
-
Geosmin is the word for that petrichor smell of rain hitting dry earth, which tells you something about what the chef is going for. This Oberkampf tasting-menu restaurant holds a Michelin star and occupies a two-floor townhouse with the slightly worn, effortlessly cool feel of the 11th. Dishes are seasonal and stripped back, the kind of cooking where restraint does the work. The wine list leans natural and biodynamic, with strong Italian and Austrian labels alongside.
-
-
A sociable counter, exposed stone walls, and shelves of bottles set the tone at this contemporary bistro near Gare de l'Est. The chef's cooking is Japanese-inflected French, precise without being precious, and the floor team pairs each course with organic and biodynamic wines chosen with genuine care. Lunch is an easy entry point, but the room rewards a longer evening.
-
Rank 20. Le Chateaubriand
French
-
Rank 21. Alluma
Israeli Mediterranean
-
Rank 22. FIEF
Modern French
The name is a double meaning: FIEF stands for "Made Here In France," and the kitchen takes that as a hard rule, sourcing every ingredient from within the country's borders. Sichuan pepper from Gers, yuzu from Montpellier, miso from Burgundy. It's a Michelin-starred modern French restaurant in the 11th, and counter seating puts you close enough to hear the team narrate each plate as it lands.
-
Exposed brick, low beams, and stonework packed so tight that latecomers press against strangers they'll soon be sharing bread with. Grégory Marchand trained at Gramercy Tavern and Jamie Oliver's Fifteen before landing on rue du Nil, and this snug modern bistro in Le Sentier holds a Michelin star for cooking that pulls from serious sourcing without making a sermon of it.
-
Rank 24. La Cave à Michel
French
-
-
-
Rank 27. Lao Siam
Thai
The Souksavanh brothers have been running this Thai-Lao neighborhood restaurant on the Belleville strip long enough that a table here is a minor victory. The room fills fast with regulars who already know the crying tiger and the Lao crispy rice salad by heart. Everything is made in-house, the menu moves between two cuisines without apology, and the Michelin Bib Gourmand keeps the secret poorly. Overflow goes next door to their sister spot, Ama Siam.
-
Rank 28. Dante
French
-
Rank 29. Holybelly
American
-
Rank 30. Les Enfants Rouges
French
-
Rank 31. Osteria Paradiso
Italian
-
A small Vietnamese restaurant in the Sentier neighbourhood named for the fish-based condiment that anchors Northern Vietnamese cooking. The Hanoi-born team focuses on the food of the north: a pho that runs slightly salty and cleaner than you'd expect, and pork nems with the namesake sauce that regulars plan trips around. Book several days ahead. A Michelin Bib Gourmand.
-
-
Rank 34. Ave Pizza Romana
Romana Pizza
-
Gilded ceiling, vintage floor tiles, and a copper counter that looks lifted from a prewar film set: this classic bistro in the medieval Marais has been dressed this way forever and shows no interest in changing. The cooking leans the same direction, old-school French comfort done without irony. The room fills with the kind of regulars who know not to bother with the menu.
-
Rank 36. Ogata
Japanese
-
Rank 37. Oobatz
Pizza
Pizzas arrive already cut, no cutlery provided, because folding and eating with your hands is the whole point. This slim, casual pizza spot in the 11th draws a notably American crowd, which tracks given the American behind it. The menu stays short and focused, the dough thin and soft with a small crust, and the wine list runs long on French and Italian bottles. Book ahead or gamble on a counter seat.
-
Two dining rooms that couldn't agree on a decorator, one all bare stone and natural materials, the other a full-blown explosion of color and dried flowers. This is a Michelin-starred modern French restaurant in the 11th where the cooking follows the seasons closely and the plating is meticulous without feeling stiff. The room runs warm and the service leans generous, which together make a case that serious cooking doesn't have to be solemn.
-
-
Rank 40. Maison
Modern French
The gabled ceiling and long communal table give this modern French restaurant in the 11th the feel of a loft someone forgot to fully convert. Sota Atsumi, who came up through Michel Troisgros and other serious kitchens, runs a market-driven set menu out of an open kitchen anchored by a wood-fired oven. The cooking is French at its bones with a quiet Japanese sensibility running underneath, the kind of thing that reads as effortless until you think about it.
-
Rank 41. Shabour
Creative Mediterranean
Assaf Granit's Shabour holds a Michelin star and still looks like a construction site, industrial ducts exposed overhead, lighting turned down low enough to make the menu squinting work. The Israeli TV chef runs a dozen restaurants across Jerusalem and London, and this Paris address carries all his signatures: a room that's genuinely loud and alive, and Mediterranean-leaning creative cooking that swings between delicate and exuberant without warning.
-
The black sesame onigiri stuffed with aged comté is a reasonable summary of what this two-floor Asian bistro is doing in the 10th. The team behind Eels, both trained with William Ledeuil and clearly serious about the continent, turn out fragrant small plates that wander cheerfully across Asia without stopping to explain themselves. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the kind of place that makes the neighborhood feel quietly smug.
-
-
Rank 44. Bing Sutt
Coffee
-
Guillaume Sanchez is the heavily tattooed chef you've seen in food circles, and his Michelin-starred tasting counter in the 9th is exactly as theatrical as that sounds. Black and gold interior, open fire doing most of the heavy lifting, fermented vegetables and cold-steamed extractions setting a mood before the more explosive moves arrive. Sitting at the counter puts you in the middle of it, which is the point.
-
Rank 46. Chez Michel
French
A Japanese chef running a classic Parisian bistro near the Gare du Nord sounds like a premise, but the food explains everything. Seafood anchors the menu alongside roast foie gras and seasonal game, and the cooking lands with the kind of quiet precision you'd expect from someone who trained with Camdeborde. The room is warm, the tradition is intact, and the crowd treats it like a neighborhood secret they'd rather you didn't know about.
-
Fermentation jars line the shelves and the room is always packed at this creative sharing-plates restaurant on rue de Paradis. Franco-American chef Thomas Chisholm, a former Top Chef contestant, runs a kitchen that wanders freely across borders, landing somewhere between sustainable fine dining and genuine playfulness. The food follows the seasons and leans hard on foraged and agroforestry ingredients, with globetrotting flavors folded into each dish.

Rank 60. Tekés
Lebanese
An open fire in the kitchen is the engine of this Tel Aviv-style sharing restaurant in the 2nd, where the chef's team grills and chars vegetables with the kind of focus usually reserved for meat. The menu leans heavily vegetarian, built around Levantine flavors and Middle Eastern spices, and the room leans into the ceremony its name promises. The waitstaff move with choreographed precision, which sounds exhausting but lands as theater.

Rank 66. Les Œillets
Natural Wine Bar
-
Rank 67. Dilia
Italian
A country-house-feeling Italian restaurant in the 20th, opposite Notre-Dame-de-la-Croix, where a Tuscan chef with stints at Saturne and Thoumieux cooks the kind of quietly personal food that names itself after grandparents. The pasta is made the old way, the wine list pulls from both sides of the Alps, and the room stays small enough that the manager-sommelier knows what's in your glass.
-
Rank 68. Isotope
Dessert
-
Rank 69. 4M2
Japanese
-
Rank 70. Vertueux
Peruvian
Near Canal St-Martin, this chic little restaurant is the project of a young chef with Ecuadorian roots and a French fine-dining education, and the menu is exactly what that combination sounds like. Beef bourguignon arrives inside a crispy taco with guacamole; cod comes in a coconut-coriander emulsion with fried plantain. The room is contemporary and relaxed, the cooking is focused, and the two continents mostly agree.

Rank 77. L'Altro Frenchie
Modern Italian
The cotoletta alla milanese is sized for two, which tells you something about the spirit of the place. This modern Italian bistro on rue du Nil is Greg Marchand's more relaxed second act, where British and American touches slip into the pasta and crudo without much apology. The chocolate cake is a nod to Jamie Oliver's old River Café recipe, and the wines come straight from the Frenchie shop next door.

Rank 80. Los Andes
Colombian Coffee
-
Rank 81. Elsass
Alsatian French
A former garage on Avenue Parmentier, now a clean-lined loft with counter seats and an open kitchen, where every bottle on the wine list comes from Alsace. This small restaurant rethinks the region without the rustic props: sauerkraut turns up in crispy cromesquis or alongside house-made boudin blanc, and the whole menu exists to show off those wines. A lawyer opened it, which explains a certain precision to how the argument is laid out.
-
Rank 82. Urfa Dürüm
Turkish
-
-
Rank 84. Eunoé
Modern New American
A Japanese chef and his front-of-house partner run this quietly stylish bistro near Square Maurice Gardette, where the walls read "work in progress" in sand and ochre and the cooking reads nothing of the sort. The menu moves with the moment, technically precise but loose enough to feel personal. Dinner shifts into something a little more considered than lunch. The wine list gets attention too, which in the 11th is saying something.

Rank 87. Deux Gares Express
Coffee

Rank 88. Boulangerie Chambelland
Gluten-free Bakery
-
Rank 89. Kei
French-Japanese New American
A chef who grew up watching French cooking documentaries in Japan now holds three Michelin stars in Paris, which is either the most romantic story in food or just evidence that obsession works. Kei is a fine dining restaurant where the French technique is precise and the Japanese eye for plating is unmistakable, the two pulling in the same direction rather than competing for attention.

The red facade stands out on a street in the 19th that's been quietly gentrifying for years. Inside, it's polished concrete and bare walls, with an open kitchen where an Australian chef of Philippine origins folds French technique into Chinese flavors, and somehow the seams don't show. The room fills with the kind of Parisians who found the neighborhood before you did, which is fine, because the food is the reason to make the trip anyway.
