The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Jacques Faussat
-
Rank 1. Jacques Faussat
French
-
Rank 2. Épisodes
Modern New American
-
A Michelin-starred modern French restaurant in the 17th where the menu changes with whatever chef Yoshi Nagato feels like doing that day, which turns out to be a sound policy. The room is soft and cosy, the plates are precise and generous, and his partner handles desserts with the same care. A solid list of organic and natural wines rounds things out for the crowd who always seems to know exactly which bottle to ask for.
-
The restaurant takes its name from a Réunion orchid known for its almond scent, which tells you something about how this kitchen thinks. It holds a Michelin star, and the cooking at this sleek Batignolles dining room pulls from French technique, Indian spice, and the islands, moving between them with enough confidence that the combination feels inevitable rather than contrived. The chef and her pastry chef partner run the room together, and the desserts are not an afterthought.
-
Rank 5. Maison Rostang
French
Art Nouveau touches, an art collection, and a glass partition opening onto the kitchen set the scene at this two-Michelin-starred fine dining room in the 17th. Classic French cooking is the whole point, from pike-perch quenelles with lobster cream to Bresse chicken with yellow wine jus, though the menu has been quietly modernizing. The pastry course alone tends to generate its own conversation at the table.
-
A charcoal mural by Adel Abdessemed covers the dining room wall, a sort of urban bestiary that sets the tone for what follows. Pierre Gagnaire is a three-Michelin-star fine dining restaurant near the Champs-Élysées, and the chef's cooking is restless in the way that jazz is restless: each dish arrives with a constellation of small satellite plates spinning around it, making any single course hard to summarize and easy to remember.
-
Rank 7. Il Carpaccio
Italian
The corridor to your table is lined with thousands of mother-of-pearl shells, a Baroque nod to Italian nymphs that sets the tone before you've sat down. Inside Le Royal Monceau, this fine dining room feels like a conservatory in bloom, with tall windows opening onto a garden. The kitchen, guided by the Cerea family, turns out contemporary Italian cooking that earns both a Michelin star and the number two spot on 50 Top Italy's global Italian restaurant list.

Rank 8. Épicure
Modern French
Three Michelin stars and Louis XVI furnishings looking onto a formal garden, so the dress code writes itself. Épicure is the fine dining room inside Le Bristol, where the chef pursues a kind of considered minimalism: light, concentrated sauces, bread milled from heirloom wheat, plating that wouldn't embarrass a museum. The flavors are precise without being austere. Come hungry, come dressed, and don't rush the evening.
-
Rank 9. Le Bristol
French
Dahlia motifs climb the orange walls, gilded columns catch the light, and a grand staircase drops to open kitchens on the lower level, making 114 Faubourg one of the more theatrical brasserie rooms in Paris. The menu runs through French classics with just enough quiet invention to keep things interesting. A Michelin star and a Forbes Five Star sit on the shelf. This is Le Bristol's more casual option, which still requires a certain definition of casual.
-
Rank 10. Le Taillevent
Classic French
The crêpes Suzette still get flambéed tableside, Grand Marnier first, then cognac, which tells you everything about what Le Taillevent is. This is classic French fine dining in a 19th-century mansion off the Champs-Élysées, the kind of room where a meat trolley arrives like a formal procession. The chef holds two Michelin stars, and the wine list runs thick enough to qualify as literature.
-
Rank 11. Le Bistrot Flaubert
Modern French
-
Rank 12. Rooster
Provençal Mediterranean
-
A Michelin three-star restaurant inside a Napoleon III mansion a short walk from the Champs-Élysées, where the dining room runs to Spanish gilt leather and Versailles parquet. Chef Jérôme Banctel builds tasting menus around his Breton roots and a restless curiosity about global technique, including a detour through Turkish limewater cooking that turns texture into its own argument. The sauces alone make the case for the whole enterprise.
-
Maritime décor lines the room at this Michelin-starred modern French restaurant on the Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, where Thierry Marx has come back to the address where he started out. The cooking nods to Asia and runs on a kind of quiet precision, with soy standing in for rice in a risotto and seasonal seafood arriving in ways that feel fussed over without looking it. Polished, unhurried, and very much the 8th arrondissement.
-
Rank 15. Héritages
Modern French
-
-
Rank 17. Frédéric Simonin
Modern French
Hardwood floors, white walls, and bevelled mirrors give this Michelin-starred dining room in the 17th the feel of a well-kept Parisian apartment, which is apparently the point. The chef trained at Ledoyen, Le Meurice, and with Robuchon before earning his Meilleur Ouvrier de France, and the tasting menus carry that pedigree quietly, with sauces and reductions that tend to stop conversation mid-sentence.
-
Rank 18. La Scène
Modern French
Menus here are structured as "acts," which tells you most of what you need to know about Stéphanie Le Quellec's ambitions at this two-Michelin-starred modern French restaurant near the Champs-Élysées. The cooking is technically serious but the room reads casual, which is apparently the whole point. Sauces lean on vintage sherry vinegar, wines by the glass come poured from magnums or jeroboams, and the front-of-house team manages to make all of it feel unforced.
-
Rank 19. Le Cinq
Modern French
Tall columns, cascading florals, and light flooding in from the courtyard garden set the tone before anyone opens a menu. This is grand hotel fine dining at full volume, the kind of room where the service feels choreographed by someone who studied at the Bolshoi. Chef Christian Le Squer holds three Michelin stars and leans hard into his Breton roots, letting coastal seafood and salted butter do the quiet arguing. Dress up; this is not a jeans situation.
-
A one-star Michelin restaurant just off the Champs-Élysées where the chef moves between the kitchen and the tables, stopping to talk. The cooking is rooted in the season, the sauces are serious, and the whole thing leans into a kind of confident simplicity that fine dining often promises and rarely delivers. The room is elegant without being stiff, and the mood follows the chef's lead: warm, unstuffy, and genuinely pleased to have you there.
-
Rank 21. La Scène Thélème
Japanese
-
Rank 22. Oxte
Contemporary Mexican
A small, Michelin-starred dining room near the Étoile where a Mexican chef and his wife-and-partner cook French ingredients through a Mexican lens, the kind of pairing that sounds like a festival concept but arrives as something far quieter and more precise. The menu shifts with the seasons, the spicing is vivid, and the mole is the real through-line. Book early; the room is tiny and the word has been out for a while.
-
Rank 23. Pleincœur
Norman French
-
Rank 24. Mandoobar
Korean
A small Korean counter restaurant in the 8th built almost entirely around dumplings and tartares, where you sit close enough to the central prep counter to watch the chef fold, slice, and season his way through a short, focused menu. The mandu are the anchor, but Korean herbs do quiet work across the dishes, lending a fragrance that feels personal rather than decorative. Michelin Bib Gourmand, and you'll want a reservation.
-
Rank 25. À L'Improviste
French
-
The pale marquetry paneling and Art Deco lamps give Mallory Gabsi's fine dining room the hush of a very elegant old ocean liner, which makes the cooking feel like a pleasant ambush. Gabsi, a familiar face from French television, holds a Michelin star for a menu that plays acid against bitter and lands desserts combining tobacco, vanilla, and coffee without flinching. Flemish touches surface throughout, keeping things grounded.
-
Six tables, no walk-ins, and a chef who spent years as sous-chef to Pierre Gagnaire before opening this quietly serious fine dining room in the 8th. The cooking riffs on French classics with a fondness for variations on a theme, a habit inherited from that rue Balzac education. One Michelin star. The kind of place where the menu feels written for the table, not the other way around.
-
Rank 28. L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon - Étoile
Modern French
Red lacquer and high stools at a long counter facing an open kitchen, tucked into the basement of the Publicis Drugstore off the Champs-Élysées. The format is Joël Robuchon's signature: fine dining, but counter-style, so you watch every plate leave the pass. The one Michelin star follows the format around the world. Order small tasting portions or full plates, and note that wines by the glass come poured from magnums, which is either theater or good sense, probably both.
-
Seven tables and a communal counter facing the open kitchen, which tells you most of what you need to know about scale and intent. This is a fine dining room in the 8th where the chef, who came up through Guy Savoy's kitchen, runs a seasonal mystery menu, so you'll eat whatever's best that week and trust the process. One Michelin star. The room is small enough that a slightly bad night would feel enormous, which keeps everyone on their game.
-
Rank 30. L'Orangerie
French
A porcelain sculpture of thousands of bougainvillea petals hangs overhead in this glass-roofed courtyard restaurant at the George V, which holds two Michelin stars and serves no meat by design. The chef's cooking orbits vegetables, dairy, and seafood with a precision that sounds ascetic until the sauces arrive, light and salt-edged and quietly surprising. Formal but never stiff, it's the kind of place where the service notices everything and says very little.
-
An à la carte menu in a city that has largely abandoned the format signals something about the chef's confidence. This sleek fine dining room in the 8th is Julien Boscus's stage for modern French cooking rooted in serious classical technique, and the kitchen holds a Michelin star. The wine list leans deep into French vineyards, and the service runs smooth enough that you barely notice how smooth it is.
-
-
Rank 33. L'Oiseau Blanc
Contemporary French
A life-size replica of the plane Nungesser and Coli flew toward New York in 1927 is bolted to the roof, which sets the tone nicely. This two-Michelin-starred fine dining room at The Peninsula sits behind glass above the Paris skyline, with a terrace that frames the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur in the same glance. Contemporary French cooking from a chef whose sauces alone justify the cab ride from anywhere sensible.
-
Rank 34. Imperial Treasure
Chinese
A Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant steps from the Champs-Élysées, where the Peking duck arrives whole and is carved tableside with the kind of ceremony that makes nearby tables quietly jealous. The kitchen leans into imperial tradition, dim sum, slow-braised dishes, and recipes that feel genuinely old. The room is formal enough that a blazer won't feel out of place, and the front-of-house team arrives ready to walk you through all of it.
-
Rank 35. Le Grand Restaurant - Jean-François Piège
Modern French
A glass-paned sculptural ceiling catches the light over one of Paris's most intimate fine dining rooms, where Jean-François Piège runs a tasting menu rooted in French regional cooking and what he calls his "mijotés modernes." The chef reportedly owns one of the city's great cookery libraries, and that obsessive depth shows in food that reads as simple and tastes like the point of it all. Two Michelin stars.
-
Rank 36. Kisin
Udon Noodles
-
Rank 37. Pages
Contemporary New American
Bare white walls are the whole design statement at this Michelin-starred fine dining room in the 16th, which turns out to be the point: the chef, a Japanese cook who fell hard for French cuisine, fills the blankness with a surprise tasting menu built around Normandy shellfish, Breton fish, and the occasional hint of binchotan smoke. It reads like a love letter to Gallic produce, written in a hand that isn't French, which makes it considerably more interesting.
-
-
Rank 39. Le Clarence
French
A two-Michelin-star fine dining room inside a 19th-century private mansion just off the Champs-Élysées, where the ceilings and the wine list compete for your attention. The chef threads Italian instincts through rigorous French cooking, building each menu around a single theme with surf-and-turf leanings. One of the wine list's two sections is given entirely to the owner's own estate bottles, which tells you something about the ambition of the room.
-
The gilded mosaics and Art Deco frescoes from Cyrano de Bergerac tell you this room has been something before, and it has, starting as a brothel and landing eventually with the Surrealists. It's a mod-cuisine bistro now, run by four friends, with two chefs keeping things vegetable-forward at tables packed close enough to follow the next table's order. Prices stay low enough that nobody's doing the mental math on a second glass.
-
Rank 41. Vague
Coffee
-
Rank 42. La Table du Caviste Bio
Modern Japanese
-
Rank 43. Le George
Mediterranean Italian
A Baccarat chandelier presides over a room of white-on-white decor and elaborate floral arrangements, making it clear this is a fine dining room inside the Four Seasons George V. Chef Simone Zanoni holds a Michelin star for his Italian-leaning Mediterranean cooking, served in careful portions that suggest you should slow down and pay attention. The glassed conservatory opens onto the courtyard, so the setting stays beautiful regardless of what Parisian weather decides to do that day.
-
Rank 44. Alan Geaam
Lebanese-inspired French
Fine dining on rue Lauriston where the menu quietly maps a life story: the chef grew up in Lebanon, arrived in Paris with nothing, and washed dishes before he ran the kitchen. What landed is a Michelin-starred tasting experience that layers French technique over Lebanese instincts in a way that feels like a personal argument rather than a trend. The room is calm and unhurried, the kind of place people dress for without being told.
-
Rank 45. Substance
Modern Cuisine
Cacio e pepe gets the full modern-Italian treatment here, spiked with tomato-tinged za'atar, which tells you a lot about where this Michelin-starred restaurant in the 16th arrondissement is headed. The kitchen, run by an Italian duo, leans hard on hyper-seasonal produce, natural acids, and sauces that do real work. A mostly organic wine list and a fully plant-based menu option round things out for a room that takes its food seriously without taking itself too seriously.
-
Yannick Alléno's three-Michelin-star fine dining room sits inside the Jardins des Champs-Élysées, with tall windows framing the gardens and table settings dressed like a Vogue shoot. The cooking is technical and classical at once, and Alléno's sauces, built through his own extraction methods, are the philosophical center of the meal. The kind of place that reminds you why French cuisine became the reference point for every other cuisine on earth.
-
Rank 47. Komatsubaki
Kaiseki Japanese
-
Rank 48. Contraste
Modern New American
-
Rank 49. Café César
Modern New American
Blue zellige tiles behind the counter, red brick walls, and a park just across the quiet street: Café César is a modern bistro in Clichy that runs from morning coffee through dinner without breaking a sweat. The kitchen makes everything in-house, and the sauces are taken seriously enough that the whole place feels more precise than "neighborhood bistro" usually implies. Lunch is the move if your wallet is watching.
-
Rank 50. Kokoya
Japanese
-
The dining room sits on the first floor of the historic Dior boutique on Avenue Montaigne, which means the tableware is, of course, Dior. Yannick Alléno runs this one-Michelin-star restaurant with a menu built around haute couture references, dishes named for "New Look" and the house's signature silhouettes. It's a fine dining room where the fashion metaphor is played completely straight, and somehow that makes it work.
-
Rank 52. Bloom
Vegetarian Sushi
-
Rank 53. L'Abysse Paris
Creative Japanese
-
Rank 54. Lasserre
Classic French
The retractable roof is the first thing regulars mention, opening above the dining room to let in the Paris sky when the season allows. This is old-school grand French dining in a Directoire mansion just off the Champs-Élysées, all crystal chandeliers, silver tableware, and orchids, carrying a Michelin star. The chef folds Mediterranean instincts into the classical repertoire. The room alone makes the case for dressing up.
-
Rank 55. Buzkashi
Afghan Middle Eastern
-
Rank 56. The Blossom Arms
British
-
Rank 57. Akrame
Creative New American
A massive coach gateway off rue Tronchet hides this Michelin-starred creative restaurant almost entirely from the street, which feels deliberate. Inside, it's all black, inspired by the painter Pierre Soulages, with a few sculptures keeping it from tipping into void. The chef runs carte blanche menus built around high-end ingredients and combinations that don't announce themselves in advance, so you're eating on faith.
-
Rank 58. Jean Imbert au Plaza Athénée
Classic French
-
Rank 59. Lucas Carton
Modern New American
-
-
An origami-inspired ceiling sets the tone at this Michelin-starred omakase counter tucked into Montmartre, where the room is spare wood and quiet intention. The team carries forward a family legacy in a format that asks you to commit at booking: two versions of the omakase, no improvising. Nigiri arrives razor-precise, the fish selection is serious, and the hospitality runs on that Japanese frequency where someone anticipates you before you've noticed the need yourself.
-
-
Rank 63. Zostera
Seafood
A seagrass named the restaurant, which tells you everything about the chef's obsession. This Michelin-starred seafood table in the quiet 16th is the project of a chef who came up through some serious Parisian kitchens and channeled it all into fish, shellfish, and the odd vegetable given equal reverence. The room is elegant without being stiff, and the cooking is precise in the way that makes precision feel effortless rather than anxious.
-
-
-
-
Rank 67. Ducasse Baccarat
French
Crystal shelves line the walls of what was once a private mansion, and the dining room feels like a library curated by someone with extravagant taste, which is basically what it is. Alain Ducasse runs this fine dining room inside the Baccarat crystal house, moving through the South of France and well beyond. The setting is theatrical in a way that somehow doesn't undercut the food, and the service reads the room accordingly.
-
Rank 68. Bolea
French
A bistro in the 17th where the chef also runs a.lea across town, which tells you something about her range. The room has that unhurried neighborhood feel, and the cooking leans traditional French without getting stuck there: a langoustine bisque arrives with citrus and a sharp aioli, and the chocolate mousse gets a finish of fleur de sel and olive oil. Precise, unfussy, and very much a place you'd want a table at twice.
-
Rank 69. BRU
Cajun & Creole
The chef calls it "Frenchie-tropical," which is a better description than anything you could invent: a casual bistro in the 9th where Creole cooking from Martinique meets the Parisian set-menu format. Cassava blitzed with garlic cream, white beans in coconut milk, a rotating carte that doesn't sit still. The Michelin Bib Gourmand lands here, and online booking is the only way in.
-
Rank 70. Enni Udon
Japanese
-
A corner café in the 8th that got a thoughtful second act, turned into a bistro with a slightly scuffed 1970s-inflected room and an open kitchen. The team behind Mieux in the 9th are responsible, which explains the seasonal bistronomy cooking and the tight list of organic and natural wines. It draws the kind of crowd that fills the 11th on a Tuesday, just relocated west of where you'd expect to find them.
-
Rank 72. Astrance
Creative New American
The room was Joël Robuchon's before Pascal Barbot made it his own, and there's a small salon to acknowledge exactly that. This is polished creative fine dining in the 16th, where the cooking tilts toward Asian influence and vegetables without announcing itself as a trend. A Michelin star. The glass wine cellar is a feature in itself, and the maître d' treats the whole operation as a performance in hospitality.
-
Rank 73. Petrus
French
-
Rank 74. Paris Bonheur
French
-
Rank 75. Dessirier
Seafood
Oysters and whole fish have been the point here since forever, and the Rostang family has kept the white tablecloth seafood brasserie formula running without apology. Bouillabaisse, cod aioli, and shellfish towers anchor a menu that reads like a love letter to the French coast. The room on Place du Maréchal-Juin feels properly Parisian, the kind of elegant but unstuffy that takes years to calibrate. Finish with the chocolate soufflé.
-
Rank 76. Le Baudelaire
Modern French
-
Rank 77. Le 703
Alsatian French
A long counter runs the room at this snug bistro in the 17th, where the menu rotates between Alsace in the colder months and Provence when the weather turns. The chef trained under some serious names in both regions, and the pâté en croûte and house-made boudin taste like proof of that. Traditional French cooking done without apology, in a room where the regulars seem to have memorized the entire thing.
-
-
Rank 79. Les 110 de Taillevent
Traditional French
-
Rank 80. Helen
Seafood
-
Rank 81. Chantoiseau
Modern New American
-
Rank 82. L'Attilio
Modern Italian
-
Rank 83. Madame FAN
Chinese
-
Rank 84. Comme Chez Maman
Contemporary French
-
Rank 85. Roco
Pizza
A rotating oven at the center of the room handles the cooking with quiet precision, turning out pizzas in a neighborhood that considers itself well above tourist Paris. Roco is a sit-down pizza restaurant in the 17th, polished enough that the lighting is soft and the wine list is curated by the glass. The kind of place where the appetizers and desserts earn their place rather than just filling out the menu. It ranked 24th on 50 Top Pizza Europe.
-
Rank 86. Nomicos
Mediterranean
The macaroni stuffed with black truffle and duck foie gras tells you everything about what kind of cook Jean-Louis Nomicos is: rooted, sensory, unapologetically indulgent. This fine dining restaurant in the 16th carries a Michelin star, and the chef's Mediterranean roots run through the menu quietly but persistently. The room is contemporary and composed, the kind of place where the food does the talking and the service knows not to interrupt.
-
Rank 87. Sushi Yoshinaga
Sushi
Rosewood chopsticks on a cedar tray, ceramics from a Japanese artist, and exactly ten seats: Sushi Yoshinaga means it. The chef Tomoyuki Yoshinaga runs an omakase counter with two Michelin stars, working through fatty tuna in several cuts, house marinades, and soy sauces made in-house, all at temperatures and maturations he decides. The front-of-house and kitchen move in such easy lockstep that the service feels less like service and more like good company.
-
Exposed stone, smoked-glass mirrors, and an open kitchen give this Batignolles Italian bistro a slightly rough-around-the-edges feel that suits it well. The Sicilian chef trained abroad, and the cooking shows it: contemporary technique applied to Italian ideas, nothing fussy. Lunch brings a set menu that won't hurt, evenings go à la carte, and the wine list leans Italian throughout. A neighborhood room that actually feels like one.
-
Rank 89. Coretta
Modern New American
-
-
Rank 91. Blanc
New American
A corolla vault of interwoven wooden slats curves overhead in the circular dining room, setting the mood before anything arrives from the kitchen. This is a two-Michelin-star creative restaurant where chef Shinichi Sato, who made his name at Passage 53, applies something close to surgical precision to exceptional produce. The Burgundy-heavy wine list and a serious whisky lineup hold court at the softly lit bar for those who want to linger.
-
Rank 92. VIVE, Maison Mer
Seafood
A seafood restaurant with its own fish-maturing cellar and a bar big enough to make a statement, VIVE has been a Paris institution since forever. David and Stéphanie Le Quellec now run the kitchen, bringing a very Breton sensibility to dishes built for sharing: fish and shellfish sourced from Atlantic and Mediterranean markets, served in a room of long banquettes and genuine old-school grandeur. Dress accordingly.
-
Rank 93. Poney Club
Natural Wine Bar
-
Rank 94. Sormani
Italian
-
Rank 95. Caïus
Bistronomic French
-
Rank 96. Petit Boutary
Modern New American
-
Rank 97. Espadon
French
A crystal ceiling lamp designed as an imaginary herbarium hangs over one of Paris's most storied fine dining rooms, inside the Ritz on Place Vendôme. The chef brings an African childhood and a Mediterranean career to the kitchen, smoking and roasting and adding a tartness that feels genuinely unexpected at this address. The result holds a Michelin star and a certain quiet confidence that the gilded room probably needed.
-
The chef trained at Lucas Carton and La Grande Cascade before opening this modern bistro near Saint-Lazare, and the cooking carries that pedigree into something looser and more personal. The menu moves between French technique and Mexican sensibility without announcing either, which is the kind of restraint that takes skill. The room is friendly and unfussy, which suits the food's confidence perfectly.
-
Rank 99. Magnolia
British
Orange velvet seating and waxed concrete walls give this candlelit bistro on Place Gustave-Toudouze the feel of a chic 1970s Paris flat someone forgot to leave. The short menu leans into punchy, well-assembled ideas, and the natural wine list is sourced with genuine care. Service is relaxed without being slow. Tables fill fast, so a reservation is less of a formality and more of a necessity.
-
Rank 100. Restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse
Creative French
Gilded ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and a view across to the Jardin des Tuileries set the register before anyone pours a drop of wine. This is formal fine dining inside Le Meurice, with two Michelin stars and Alain Ducasse's name on the door. Tasting menus move through French classical tradition by way of the kitchen's own creative detours, and pastry chef Cédric Grolet's desserts have their own following online, which tells you something.
