Description: Bofinger's stained-glass ceiling, ceramics, marquetry, mirrors and tulip-shaped sconces compose a magnificent Belle-Époque décor that has long been a landmark in the Bastille quarter. Parisians, provincials, tourists and celebrities throng in for generous assortments of extra-fresh shellfish and hearty choucroute garni. The Flo group wisely took over this thriving enterprise (the restaurant serves 300,000 meals each year!) several years ago. The duck foie gras, bouillabaisse, rack of lamb sprinkled with parsley, and Vacherin cheese are all thoroughly recommendable.

Description: Dine 125 meters above the City of Light in a completely remodeled space and with new cuisine by Alain Ducasse. The occasion to enjoy an exceptional view of Paris and a Patrick Jouin designed dining room, at once elegant, sober, contemporary, and mysterious thanks to the central honeycomb wall enclosing the kitchen. There, Pascal Féraud, who's worked at le Louis XV in Monaco, executes classic Ducasse dishes with an exemplary clarity. The lobster bears witness to this, as well as the celery and truffles in rémoulade, the scallops à la plancha and cauliflower in a cream sauce, thick rounds of beef with foie gras, and, to finish, a gourmand clin d'oeil, the écrou de chocolat. The service is more than perfect, and the wines selected by Gérard Margeon add to that perfection. Overall, it's a great establishment for important occasions (lunch menus at €75 and dinner menus at €150 and €190).
