5 rue de Montalembert (7th Arrondissement), +33 (0)1 42 22 56 56
When the restaurant opened its doors in 2003, it was one of most talked-about gastronomic arrivals in town. Celebrity chef Joël Robuchon organized his restaurant as a Parisian version of a modern tapas bar: 36 seats around an open kitchen serving small portions of creative dishes. Reservations are only taken for the first sittings of each meal: 11:30am, 2pm and 6:30 pm. After that, line up, like everybody else. - Sancerre
22 ave Rapp (7th Arrondissement), +33 (0)1 45 51 75 91
Serving simple, fresh food. The wine focus is on the Loire Valley (and specifically, Sancerre - as the name of the restaurant implies). Wine available by the glass.
