Blacklock is a popular London’s steakhouse chain. Expensive, but high quality meat. Service lags during peak hours ever so slightly. Get there early. Grilled steaks are top-notch, but we recommend the Sunday roast, a British Sunday tradition. Blacklock is highly rated at 4.7 stars on consumer rating sites.

Aux Crus de Bourgogne might just be our favorite restaurant in Paris. Featuring high quality cuts of steak and chicken prepared with luxurious sauces or slowly braised in stews. Most of the the sauces and stews utilize unique culinary ingredients such a chanterelle, morelle and porcini mushrooms. The menu reads like a Julia Childs cookbook. But it’s not just the food. Everything from the demeanor and aptitude of the waiters to the weight of the silverware and white tablecloths shouts sophistication. It’s a beautiful marriage between classic country French and sophisticated Parisian presentation. This one should be top of the list.
Zia, a tiny restaurant near the Eiffel Tower, features a creative menu with an international flare that is flawlessly executed. In a single pleasantly decorated, albeit crowded room, a few diners at a time can enjoy what is arguably the best breakfast spot in Paris. The restaurant is small. Anticipate a short wait for table.
