The Best Places in Paris

Eat + Drink + Stay, change section
  1. A boutique hotel built around the legacy of Loïe Fuller, the American dancer whose swirling silk performances made her a muse for Toulouse-Lautrec and Rodin. Steps from the Arc de Triomphe, it belongs to the Drawing Hotels Collection, which hands each floor to a different artist. No two rooms look alike, though all have custom wallpaper, tiled Italian-style bathrooms, and wrought-iron balconies. The glass-ceilinged bar downstairs serves Art Nouveau cocktails, and an art concierge is on hand.

    The awards


  2. The name is a pun on Montmartre, which tells you something about the spirit of this boutique hotel on Rue d'Orsel. The 25 rooms follow five visual themes, from cabaret to high fashion, all threaded through with Art Deco detailing and the illustrative legacy of Francisque Poulbot. The restaurant sits under a glass roof, and the Artist's Bar runs pleasantly retro. It's family-owned, and it feels like a private home, if your host had very strong opinions about interior design.

    The awards


  3. A 30-room boutique hotel in a 19th-century mansion tucked between the Panthéon and the Jardin des Plantes, where the parquet floors and marble fireplaces stayed and the velvet came from Pierre Frey. The honesty bar lets you pour your own wine, the hammam handles sore feet, and breakfast runs until 11am, which is the kind of quiet policy that tells you everything about the management's philosophy.

    The awards


  4. The library lounge is named for the publishing house next door, which tells you everything about the neighborhood and the clientele. This boutique hotel on the Left Bank sits in that useful middle ground: stylish but not performatively so, classic but not frozen in amber. Pierre Frey silk curtains share the room with free wi-fi, Carrara marble makes up for modest bathrooms, and the cocktail list gives the leather armchairs something to do after dark.

    The awards


  5. Three 19th-century buildings stitched into one Saint-Germain boutique hotel, with the seams left visible in the best way. The rooms run larger than most Paris hotels dare, dressed in a mix of calm neutrals and bolder patterns that somehow cohere. A spa, hammam, and plunge pool are a genuine surprise at this scale. The bar and restaurant pull in locals, so you're staying somewhere that actually belongs to the neighborhood.

    The awards


  6. A boutique hotel in a former industrial building in Belleville, where the reception desk is built from repurposed shipping crates and antique-inspired fixtures hang in rows from the ceiling. The thirty rooms are small but bright, keeping the original floor-to-ceiling windows. The neighborhood is the real draw, and the staff seems to know it, programming the in-room phones to dial straight through to their favorite local spots.

    The awards


  7. The wellness space here is called a "wellness chapel," which tells you what kind of hotel this is before you've even seen the rooms. Seven is a Left Bank boutique hotel in the 5th, close enough to the Latin Quarter without the noise, and the suites each carry a distinct theme that stops short of becoming a costume party. Saturated colors, zebra-print rugs, and nothing that could be called minimalist. Breakfast only, but the street outside more than covers the rest.

    The awards


  8. The bones of a 1960s municipal high-rise on the Right Bank, between Bastille and the Marais, don't scream luxury hotel, but SO/ Paris leans into the contrast hard. Contemporary art fills the public spaces, rooms run large and bright, and more than half face the Eiffel Tower, which is rarer in this city than the postcards suggest. Bonnie, the bar and restaurant on the top two floors, handles the view with a wraparound terrace.

    The awards


  9. A boutique hotel on a quiet square in the 3rd, a short walk from Le Marais, built inside the former home of Renaissance polymath Salomon de Caus. The marble facade and Art Nouveau glass roof over the breakfast room do a lot of the work, and the compact rooms keep things simple: parquet floors, black-and-white palette, oil paintings on every wall. The open kitchen will hand you a cheese plate and a glass of wine whenever you need one.

    The awards


  10. A hotel in the 17th that leans into its distance from the tourist circuit, Tribe Paris Batignolles skips the Haussmann-or-bust aesthetic for something more industrial and color-forward, with communal lounge spaces that double as an all-day restaurant and, after dark, a proper cocktail bar. Brûlerie de Belleville coffee in the morning, negronis in the evening, some rooms with balconies facing Martin Luther King Park.

    The awards


  11. Philippe Starck and the architects Tryptique wrapped this Montparnasse hotel in a skin of living vegetation, and the building reads like a green interruption on the Boulevard Pasteur. Inside, the rooms are lush and strangely calming, the lobby bar runs on an inverted layout with a live music program, and the rooftop bar looks out over the Eiffel Tower. It's a hotel that wants badly to feel organic, and mostly gets away with it.

  14. A bright, airy French restaurant on the quiet back side of Montmartre hill, where the kitchen takes comfort food and dresses it with tweezer-placed garnishes and foams that taste like childhood. Portions run big, which is a pleasant surprise given the plating. It suits dinner with parents or friends who don't mind trading forkfuls across the table. The Michelin Guide lists it as a Selected Restaurant.


  15. Rank 712. Adami

    Italian

    A long counter runs the length of this small Italian pasta restaurant near Pigalle, where you can watch the kitchen roll and plate while you eat. The look is stripped-back and modern rather than red-checkered, and the menu leans into sharing. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks: the cooking is sharp and unfussy, with the kind of gnocchi that makes the table go quiet.

  16. Rank 712. Adraba

    Israeli

    Fenugreek paste, charcoal-roasted vegetables, marinated chillis, and a tahini situation that anchors the whole table: the menu at this Montmartre restaurant pulls from the Levant and the chef's family roots in equal measure. The room runs warm and a little loud, the kind of place where the cocktail list gets as much attention as the food. A casual spot for sharing plates built around spice and condiment, not restraint.


  17. Rank 712. Ambos

    Bistro

    A bistro counter facing the Luxembourg Gardens, where the couple behind the name (it means "both" in Spanish) run an open kitchen that mixes Thai, South American, and European instincts on the same short menu. The chef did a season of Top Chef; his Venezuelan co-chef did Bangkok and London. Together they cook food that feels personal rather than programmatic, in a room that's friendly enough to make you forget you're in the 6th.

  19. Rank 712. Aux 2 K

    Modern French

    Roasted pigeon with smoked eel and shallots in a salmis sauce tells you everything about the kitchen's ambitions. This snug modern French bistro in the 9th is the project of two alumni from some of Paris's most demanding kitchens, one on savory, one on pastry, splitting the labor the way it should be done. The Bib Gourmand signals that the cooking punches well above the price, which in this neighborhood stays refreshingly sane.

    The awards


  20. Rank 712. Aux Plumes

    Japanese

    A Japanese chef running a small neighborhood bistro in the 14th, changing the menu weekly and sourcing close to home. The cooking is French in spirit but with a sharper eye for contrast, sweet against sour, rich against bright, in combinations you wouldn't have thought to order but end up finishing fast. Lunch draws a crowd that knows to show up, since the price makes the whole thing feel slightly stolen. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand.

    The awards


  21. Rank 712. Baca'v - Boulogne

    Modern Bistro

    A sibling to a Paris address, this modern bistro in Boulogne-Billancourt earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand with the kind of cooking that makes you feel like someone's grandmother grew up in Limousin and went to culinary school. The chef leans into bistro classics, vol-au-vent, pâté en croûte, braised cabbage, done with enough care to feel personal rather than nostalgic. Large picture windows keep it from feeling like a cave, which is more than most bistros manage.

  24. Bloom House takes its name at face value: the 10th arrondissement boutique hotel is carpeted in floral textures, live greenery, and warm organic materials, which lands as a genuine shock if you've just rolled in from Gare du Nord two blocks away. The 91 rooms run compact but eclectic, some with balconies and wide views, and an 18-meter indoor pool anchors the spa. A bar and a poolside Mediterranean kitchen round out the restoration project.

    The awards


  25. Rank 712. Capsule

    French

    The open kitchen at the back of this Left Bank bistro is shaped like a pod, which explains the name and adds a retro-science-fiction touch to the green banquettes and vintage lamps. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for traditional French home cooking: roast chicken, floating island with salted butter caramel, the kind of food that makes you wonder why anyone bothers with anything fancier. A few bar seats up front fill fast with regulars who know the drill.

  26. Rank 712. Classique

    French Wine Bar


  27. Every room at this 143-room Montparnasse boutique hotel comes with murals or framed work by contemporary French artists, because the people behind it also run an art fair and an exhibition space, so of course they do. The common areas lean harder into it, and the Drawing Hall keeps a rotating selection on view. A pool, a small spa, and an all-day restaurant round things out, none of which you'd take for granted in a Paris boutique hotel.

    The awards


  28. Rank 712. Épopée

    Modern Japanese

    A sommelier with a deep attachment to natural wines and a Japanese chef who came up through Clamato and Passage 53 decided to open a neighborhood restaurant together in the 11th, and the results are quietly interesting. The room has corners and crannies that make it feel bigger and more lived-in than it is. The cooking is seasonal and precise, built around micro-farm vegetables and small-boat fish. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand.

  30. Rank 712. Fréquence

    Cocktail Bar


  31. Rank 712. IMperfetto

    Neapolitan Pizzeria

    A Neapolitan pizza shop on a quiet residential street just outside Paris, where the dough is direct, light, and structured enough to make you forget you're in the suburbs. The menu weaves southern Italian tradition with the odd French suggestion, and the wine list holds its own. Ranked third in Europe by 50 Top Pizza, and 27th in the world. Small room, a few tables outside, and service that actually helps you choose.

    Modern French

    A neighborhood bistro in the 14th where the chef, a Perche native, builds the menu around producers from his home region, pork and poultry breeders chief among them. The cooking is quietly confident, the kind that makes a guinea fowl dish or a plate of gnocchi feel like the obvious thing to order. The wine list leans organic and natural. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand, and the room fills accordingly.

  40. A slate of handwritten "picorages," the chef's word for snacks that are really not small, covers the counter of this buzzy wine bar and bistro in the 9th. The menu moves with the chef's mood, so veal sweetbreads one week, a Normandy rib of beef the next. The wine list keeps growing, which the regulars seem fine with. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the kind of place that earns it without trying to look like it.

  42. Rank 712. Les Parisiens

    Brasserie French

    Les Parisiens is a hotel brasserie in Saint-Germain, all velour banquettes and brass-edged mirrors, serving the sole meuniere and veal tartare you'd expect, at prices that suggest the sole had a good agent. It's a safe bet for parents, dates, or anyone you want to impress without scaring. The address is where James Joyce finished Ulysses, which gives literary types something to mention before the millefeuille arrives.

  43. Philippe Starck turned a former parking garage in the 20th into a hotel that feels like it was designed by a mischievous philosopher, which, partly, it was. Bare concrete gets offset by superhero-mask reading lamps and iMac-as-TV setups in rooms zoned as residences rather than hotel stays. You're deep past Père Lachaise, several minutes from the Metro, which concentrates your evenings around the bar and restaurant, both of which hold up.

    The awards


  44. Rank 712. Mokko

    Modern French

    A former music industry guy opened this buzzy little bistro at the foot of Montmartre, which explains something about the room's energy without quite explaining what. The cooking is market-driven and unfussy, the kind where the chef seems to be having a good time rather than making a point. Lunch and dinner crowds pack in tight, and the place moves fast.


  45. The awards


  46. Rank 712. Oktobre

    Creative Pan-Asian

    A creative restaurant on the Left Bank street where philosophers once argued, Oktobre brings a similar restlessness to the plate. The chef sources obsessively and cooks with a loose, confident hand, pulling in Asian spices and fermented flavors alongside French technique. Cuttlefish pasta, miso beurre blanc, sweetcorn curry: the combinations sound unlikely until they don't. The room is warm and the mood runs lively.

    The zinc-topped counter and egg mayonnaise on the menu tell you everything before you sit down. Rosemarie is a proper Paris bistro in the 7th, the kind where the cooking is seasonal and traditional and nobody is trying to reinvent anything. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks: the food is careful and the room feels lived-in without being shabby. Named, sweetly, after both owners' mothers.

    A Lyonnais bouchon reread for a Paris suburb: pressed-tin nostalgia meets well-chosen antiques and a counter facing the open kitchen. This small, relaxed bistro runs a tight no-options set menu that changes with the seasons and leans on organic vegetables from Essonne. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand. At lunch and dinner, you eat what the kitchen feels like cooking that day, which tends to concentrate everyone's attention rather nicely.

  50. Terra is a loft-style French restaurant in the Marais that feels more Brooklyn than the 3rd arrondissement, with a modern take on the old repertoire. The mains are built for two, so bring someone who'll let you do the ordering, ideally toward the Basque lamb that spends hours in the oven and ends up with crackling skin. The tiny starters are skippable in theory and a mistake in practice.


  51. The lofts here pack a sleeping area, a proper kitchen, a dining table, and a desk into a footprint that would make a Paris studio blush. Zoku is an apartment-style hotel that started in Amsterdam and landed in the 17th, inside a mixed-use building in Clichy-Batignolles, a neighborhood that is still, conspicuously, figuring itself out. The rooftop terrace grows produce for the restaurant below, which is either very charming or very on-brand, depending on your mood.

    The awards



  52. A private garden connects the two buildings of this boutique hotel in the 16th, which already tells you the pace you're in for. Floral prints, actual flowers, and a charmingly unhurried atmosphere fill both houses, Maison Molitor and Maison Boileau. Comforts are thoughtful rather than lavish. Breakfast arrives in the dining room or picnic-style in the garden, and the Bois de Boulogne is a short walk when the greenery still isn't enough.

    The awards


  53. The awards


  54. The 15th is the kind of arrondissement that Parisians live in but tourists skip, which is precisely why the nightly rates here don't sting. Hôtel Clarisse is a boutique hotel with an industrial-salvage aesthetic that reads more London than Paris, navy-and-white rooms with mosaic tile bathrooms, and easy access to Parc Georges-Brassens. Triple and quad rooms make it genuinely practical for families or groups who'd rather not book two of everything.

    The awards


  55. Star Wars masks on the walls and a complimentary bag of gummy bears on the pillow set the tone at this design hotel near the Porte de Versailles expo grounds. Concrete walls meet psychedelic carpets and velvet cushions, the rooftop bar has DJs on weekends, and there's an indoor basketball court for when sightseeing loses its appeal. You're on the edge of the city, but breakfast on the terrace comes with a skyline view most central hotels can't match.

    The awards


  56. Philippe Starck designed the interiors, Jean Nouvel built the tower, and somewhere between the two of them a hotel landed on top of a skyscraper on Paris's southern edge with views straight to the Eiffel Tower. The 13th arrondissement is not where anyone expects a rooftop spa and open-air Jacuzzi, which is somewhat the point. A panoramic restaurant and a roof terrace cocktail bar mean you can watch the city from several altitudes without ever leaving the building.

    Parisian Brasserie

    The awards


  59. The walls here are so stuffed with memorabilia that a grinning Barack Obama watches you eat your burger. Ferdi is a snug brasserie near the Tuileries with an improbably eclectic menu, jumping from Greek sharing plates to Venezuelan tapas to ceviche, all under one knick-knack-crowded roof. Kim Kardashian is a regular, which tells you something about the burgers. End with the churros and hot chocolate, which is non-negotiable.

    The awards


  60. Rank 760. Le Calbar

    Creative Cocktail Bar

    The bartenders here wear crisp shirts and bow ties, which is where the formality ends, as everything below the waist is boxer shorts. Le Calbar is a cocktail bar in the 12th that has carved out a niche by refusing to be precious about itself, a posture Paris does not always come naturally to. The drinks, though, are careful and creative, built around a menu of country-themed cocktails that take the concept more seriously than the dress code.

    The awards


  61. A modernist chandelier fit for a Sun King hangs over the emerald-and-gold lobby bar, which sets the tone for this boutique hotel a ten-minute walk from Versailles. The 19th-century facade gives way to parquet floors and trompe l'oeil ceilings, and the restaurant, Alcôve, runs modern French rather than period pastiche. Small enough to feel intimate, central enough to make the palace an afterthought.

    The awards


  62. Rank 760. Le Rigmarole

    Japanese Barbecue

    The menu at this intimate counter restaurant lists dishes as single words, "thigh", "oyster", "meatball", and the descriptions only get more opaque from there. What arrives, cooked over Japanese binchotan charcoal and served across a walnut counter under vintage Tiffany lamps, is nothing like the word suggests. It reads as a playful antidote to stiff Parisian fine dining, while remaining, unmistakably, fine dining.

    The awards


  63. The wood paneling and black awning on the Quai Voltaire hide a brasserie that has been feeding Paris's creative and moneyed set for well over a century, in the building where Voltaire himself once lived. The menu runs to classic French comfort: the kind of food that makes no apology for butter. Reservations fill with editors, gallerists, and politicians who all pretend not to notice each other.

Norbert Tarayre, the chef France met on Top Chef, runs the kitchen inside the Prince de Galles on Avenue George-V, turning out leeks vinaigrette, celeriac remoulade, and pommes Anna with pork shoulder, the kind of regional French cooking that Paris hotels usually consider beneath them.

    A light-filled porch and pale wood set the mood at this small bistronomy in the 7th, where the evening runs on a single set menu and the lunch board changes with what's good that week. The chef reworks classic French fare with a light hand, folding in vegetarian options and leaning on local produce. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that makes you wish you lived around the corner.

  72. Rank 771. Akabeko

    Japanese

    A downstairs counter and a quietly romantic room upstairs give this Japanese-French fusion restaurant two very different moods under one roof. The chef runs an omakase menu, so you show up and trust the kitchen, which draws on Japanese technique and a clear affection for French classics. Foie gras with teriyaki sauce gives you the general idea. The team takes the hospitality side seriously, in the way that makes you notice it without being sure why.

  73. Rank 771. Akira Back Paris

    Fusion Japanese

    The Art Deco light fixtures cast the kind of flattering glow that makes everyone look like they have their life together. This Japanese fusion restaurant inside the Prince de Galles is the first European outpost of Akira Back, the former pro snowboarder turned chef who came up under Nobu Matsuhisa. The menu blends Korean and Japanese influences, the marble counter anchors an open kitchen, and the AB Tuna Pizza has become something of a calling card.

  74. Rank 771. Albufera

    Portuguese Mediterranean

    Portuguese music plays in the dining room, which tells you roughly everything about this French bistro in Boulogne-Billancourt. The menu leans Mediterranean with a Portuguese soul, so expect sardines, cockles, piquillo peppers, and the kind of pork dish that finishes with good cooking juices and a scattering of chives. Simple room, warm welcome, and a caramelised lemon cream at the end that does not overexplain itself.

  77. Puy lentils, Limousine beef, farmhouse cheese from small producers in the Haute-Loire, all sourced with the kind of obsessiveness that reads as a manifesto. This modern bistro on the Cherche-Midi shifts registers through the day, from a well-priced lunch to a more serious evening menu. The chef François Gagnaire essentially runs a love letter to his home region out of a Left Bank address, which is a quietly winning idea.

  78. Rank 771. Argile

    Modern French

    Red tile floors, brick walls, and a glass-fronted façade near Gare Saint-Lazare set the scene at this snug modern bistro in the 9th. The chef plates market-driven French cooking with real conviction, the kind that makes you forget to put your fork down. Natural wines, relaxed service, and a lunch menu that feels like a throwback to when this city fed people properly without making them feel it.

    The awards


  79. The chef traded spreadsheets for Ferrandi, then a stint at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, before landing here in the 9th. ASPIC is an intimate creative tasting-menu restaurant with an open kitchen and a vintage room that feels more like someone's well-curated dining room than a destination. The surprise set menu changes with the chef's sourcing: small-boat fish, free-range birds, local citrus and herbs. No choices, no à la carte, no negotiating with the menu.

  85. Rank 771. Aux Lyonnais

    Lyonnaise Bistro

    Floral tiling, red leather booths worn to a warm patina, and flea-market curios on every surface set the scene at this old-school Lyonnaise bouchon transplanted to the second arrondissement. Alain Ducasse has had the keys for a while now, but the kitchen stays honest to the classic fare that made Lyon's canteen tradition worth stealing in the first place. Hearty, unfussy, and a little theatrical in the best Parisian way.

  88. Rank 771. Baillotte

    Modern French

    The red frontage on rue du Dragon belongs to a bistro run by a Japanese chef who trained at Georges Blanc and calls his cooking "semi-gourmet," which is either modesty or a trap. The food is French in bones and Japanese in precision, with sauces that take longer to make than most places take to plate the whole dish. The wine-by-the-glass list is quietly serious, and the staff actually know why.

  89. A Pigalle bistro where the menu moves freely between classic and modern French without apologizing for either. The chef's cooking is rooted in the land, so the produce does the heavy lifting: duck, foie gras, and pâté en croûte sit alongside guinea fowl with aubergine and cherries in red wine vinegar. Lunch is an affordable set menu; evenings open into tasting menus and à la carte. Neighborhood tables, unfussy room, serious cooking.

          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.
