The Best Places to Eat and Do in France

Eat + Do, change section
  1. The name translates to "buckwheat" in Breton, which tells you exactly what you're in for at this crêperie near the town centre. The galettes are made with ingredients sourced almost entirely from within 30 kilometers, and the menu shifts with the seasons, with fermented elements turning up in some of the more inventive combinations. The room is compact and contemporary, with an open kitchen and a chalk slate for building your own.

  21. Rank 796. Inari

    Vietnamese Fusion French

    A former chapel in the heart of Arles, now a creative restaurant from chef Céline Pham, who came up through the Paris natural-wine circuit at places like Septime and Saturne before planting herself in Provence. The cooking is French-Vietnamese, vegetable-forward, and quietly inventive. The wine list is short and natural, the room has a vintage feel, and the whole thing carries the focused energy of someone who really wanted to be here.

  27. A single-storey building near the Montreuil town hall with a terrace and a small vegetable garden out front, which does a lot to explain the cooking inside. This is a relaxed modern bistro where the team, veterans of Chatomat in Ménilmontant, runs an affordable lunch menu and more ambitious evening sittings later in the week. Natural and organic wines, produce that gets to speak, and the kind of place that makes Montreuil feel very far from Paris in the best possible way.

    Korean

    A Korean canteen in the 15th that looks like nothing from the street but pulls a crowd who clearly know where the good stuff is. The vintage-rustic room was opened by a photographer and his former fashion-designer wife, which explains why the space feels considered without trying too hard. Bibimbap and kimchi stew anchor the menu, and the homemade soy sauce arrives at the table so you can season things yourself.

  43. Behind a discreet green frontage on rue Vasselot, this modern restaurant runs on a short menu that changes weekly, built around flavour and jus rather than architectural plating. A Breton chef and his English wine specialist partner run the room together, and the cooking carries quiet echoes of their travels without announcing them. Book ahead; the room fills fast and the regulars know it.

  53. Rank 796. Kitchen Ter(re)

    Modern Italian

    Pasta made from heritage grains ground by an artisan miller anchors this modern restaurant on the boulevard Saint-Germain, the third in William Ledeuil's small empire. The kitchen folds in Asian herbs and broths alongside Italian forms, so coquillettes might arrive in a Thai broth with chicken wings and olives. It's a more casual register than Ledeuil's flagship, but the cooking is no less considered.

  69. Rank 796. 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.

  73. An old Aubrac inn, renovated into something light and contemporary, with a terrace that faces a garden full of bloom in season. The chef spent twelve years cooking with Bras at Laguiole, and the menu reads like a love letter to the plateau, trout, Aveyron snails, and local herbs like meadowsweet and wild garlic woven through dishes that are fresher and more inventive than the remote address might lead you to expect.

  82. A standing-room wine and snack bar wedged next to Yves Camdeborde's famous Saint-Germain bistro, this little sibling runs on oysters, anchovies, boudin noir, and whatever else the kitchen feels like playing with that evening. The menu reads like a party where nobody agreed on a theme, which turns out to be exactly right. You'll be pressed against strangers holding a glass of natural wine, and you won't mind at all.

  96. A former fine arts student runs this contemporary restaurant in Lavaur, and the plating reflects it without being theatrical about it. The chef builds a surprise set menu each evening around organic market gardens and small-scale farms nearby, with natural and independent wines alongside. The room has exposed tile and stone walls, and the small patio terrace fills up fast when the weather cooperates.

    French

    The poule au pot here arrives fully deboned, stuffed with veal, foie gras, and morels, the broth served separately as a drink alongside garnishes in small copper pans. A contemporary bistro run by two friends, L'Ossau does lunch on a rotating weekly menu of classic French cooking and keeps the whole operation warm without trying too hard. The kind of neighborhood spot that makes Pau look very good at French food.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
