Parisian modernity.
You have to go to Paris and come back. We should be able to go to Paris every so often, hopefully every year. There was a time when Paris was the undisputed gastronomic capital of the world, now that title is too close and changes places almost every month, but the city of light is still a place to go (and return) to taste its cuisine. traditional and trendy.
It is not by chance that Fork, The most used app in Spain to reserve restaurants, was founded in France, in Paris, just 10 years ago. And now with Insider (available in Spain, France, Italy and Holland) they have taken another step to banish the FOMO or the fear of missing out on restaurants, THOSE places, to which everyone goes, of which everyone speaks VERY well.
New, nice and good.
You have to go to Paris and come back. Go for a picnic on the banks of the Seine. To eat macarons like if tomorrow does not exist. And to fall in love. In Paris you have to go and eat again, in general. Y according to the best Parisian palates gathered on Insider, these are the 10 restaurants you should book on your next trip to Paris. Or close. With and without stars, established and new, for all tastes:
** EELS _(27 rue d'Hauteville) _**
In that arrondissement, the 10, which is rising like foam, in a corner painted smoky bluish green, a non-casual color that encloses a charming restaurant with just tables (no crowds) and a kitchen that offers as its star dish : smoked eel with apple and hazelnuts (spectacular) . With this recipe, the young chef Adrian Ferrand has carved a niche for itself in the competitive Parisian food scene in less than a year.
Some Canadians in Paris.
** COMICE _(31 Avenue de Versailles) _**
Noam Gedalof and Etheliya Hananova They are a very well-matched Canadian couple who have managed to combine her experience in the kitchen, he, with the wines, she, in this restaurant that already boasts a Michelin Star. “French product cuisine” always adding an element of surprise is their concept with which they manage to drag people to the 16ème arrondissement of Paris. Among the wines, they also support small producers. And from Insider, those who have already tried it always recommend leaving room for dessert.
** RESTAURANT H _(13 Rue Jean Beausire) _**
The H is mute, but it says a lot: it responds to the name of the chef Hubert Duchenne which has made his restaurant of only 20 tables a few steps from La Bastille the best valued according to users of TheFork. A combination of good taste in the decoration, designed as a cozy apartment, and the kitchen, also a simple and cozy seasonal proposal that is offered in three different menus (three times for €35; five times, €60; and in seven, for €80).
Like at home.
** SEPTIME _(80 Rue de Charonne) _**
It is an institution of Bistronomy, according to users of TheFork in Paris. With its two tasting menus (€42 and four steps at lunch; 80 and seven at dinner), Chef Bertrand Grebaut remains one of the places to understand why Paris still has a place in modern cuisine.
** OPEN _(92 Rue du Faubourg Poissonière) _**
One of those restaurants where it is difficult to book almost since it opened, back in 2012. Their prices more than affordable (tasting lunch menu €26; dinner €52) and the imagination of its chef of Japanese origin but trained in France, Katsuaki Okyama, They make this place an absolute place to be, although it is very difficult to go. On Mondays and Saturdays it is famous for their fusion sandwiches.
Difficult to book, but not impossible.
SATURN **(17 Rue Notre Dame des Victoires) **
A French bistro with nordic soul. Saturne opened in 2010 and in 2016 it got its first star by betting on simplicity, in its design and its menu, and supporting the small producers with which it nourishes its dishes.

The Franco-Japanese fusion.
