At Braisenville, diners can expect a menu that is both imaginative and reasonably priced, with the main courses centered around meats grilled to perfection on a wood-fired grill. The restaurant boasts tasteful décor and outstanding service to complete the dining experience
Pilgrim offers a sophisticated tasting menu for a fraction of what you’ll pay at several of the city’s restaurants boasting 3 Michelin stars, yet is rated as high as any of those restaurants by consumers on Google reviews. Of course, it’s not the over-the-top, elegant dining experience you’d receive at Epicure, Le Pré Catelan or Guy Savoy … but Pilgrim offers an opportunity to enjoy haute-cuisine without breaking the piggy bank.
Le Soufflé is one-part adorable teacup and pastry café and another part, Parisian bistro. It’s not just the best place for a soufflé in Paris. It’s also one of the best stops for traditional bistro fare. In fact, it has the honor of being the place we chose for the Best Boeuf Bourguignon in Paris. This should be in your list of top five restaurants to visit in Paris.
Le Comptoir des Petits Champs is another restaurant in our list that barely qualifies as a bistro in light of a slightly more sophisticated ambience and menu that the typical Parisian bistro. By offering menu items using unique ingredients like boar and deer Le Comptoir des Petits Champs distinguishes itself from the other bistros on our list of top picks. Although it’s slightly more expensive than a traditional bistro, it’s worth a visit to see a more creative slant on classic bistro cuisine.
Bistrot de l’Oulette has a modern decor with red/white accents and black/white photo-prints. They serve traditional bistro fare in a contemporary ambiance, which has received high ratings.
La Pie Noir is one our favorite bistros in Paris. Popular with locals and tourists alike, for good reason. It’s got a comfortable ambience that’s a bit more “today” than a traditional bistro. A friendly, competent staff and a classic bistro menu. Don’t miss the razor clams appetizer.
