This tiny bistro is simply decorated with a plain
white facade and a rustic interior, and is always buzzing with
locals. A blackboard menu offers classic French dishes such as
calf's liver cooked in sherry vinegar, or scallops cooked in basil
oil. There is also a selection of venison on offer, and the
puddings are equally enticing. The bill is outrageously inexpensive
for the quality of the food. Open Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and
dinner, dinner only on Sunday. Reservations
essential.

La Tour d'Argent (The Silver Tower) not only serves up
mouth-watering dishes, but also has wonderful views over the Seine
and Notre-Dame. A restaurant has stood on this site since 1582 and
dining here is still an unsurpassed event. A good section of the
menu is devoted to duck, and diners who order the house speciality
- caneton (pressed duckling) - are issued with a certificate; the
practice started in 1890 and they are now at well over a million.
Book well in advance, a jacket and tie is required in the evening.
Closed Monday, and lunch on Tuesdays.

trove of exceptional vintages. Although the décor is formal, the
atmosphere is relaxed and ambient. Book well in advance. Open
Tuesday to Friday for lunch and dinner, and for dinner on Saturday;

L'Alcazar attracts fashionable Parisians looking to
dine on seafood or Modern British fare. The huge ground floor

theme nights with celebrity artists and jazz musicians. Open for
lunch and dinner daily, and brunch on Sundays. Reservations
recommended.

fantastic. Open for lunch and dinner daily, reservations

Le Bouillon Racine features a sophisticated Belgian
menu and an enormous selection of Belgian beer. The food here is
hearty and filling, even without the help of several
thirst-quenching ales. The menu changes monthly and includes
popular dishes like the casserole of mussels, shrimp and baby
clams, suckling pig roasted with bitter Orval beer, and rack of
lamb roasted in a pale biere blonde. The décor is festive and the
service efficient. Reservations essential, open daily for lunch and
