Comptoir des mers, for a seafood platter from Normandy
Eating
Here’s someone who’s cast his net wide and caught a whole ocean full of delicious flavours! With a fisherman father and two brothers who are fishmongers, it’s perhaps natural that Xavier Auguet would open a seafood restaurant. JR.
Les Chouettes, the restaurant that has everything good
Eating
We can already say, before we’ve even begun to talk about the menu, that the restaurant has a superb appearance. This three storey restaurant and cocktail bar is an ode to elegant interiors and designer chic. JR.
Georges, the one on Centre Pompidou's roof
Eating
The terrace: magic! On the roof of the Centre Pompidou, atop this extraordinary museum dedicated to contemporary art, the views of the capital’s most beautiful monuments is spectacular. Here we find the Georges restaurant and its immense terrace. Day or night, perched between the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, we can relish flavours that seem to hang suspended in the Parisian sky.
Cinéma Café, the one at Merci
Eating
The terrace: in full sun. One of the eating places sheltered under the widespread wings of the Merci concept store, the Cinéma Café is bright and open on the terrace. With only a few tables on the Boulevard Beaumarchais, a seat here is coveted as much as the creations to be found throughout the various departments of this most unique of Parisian stores. JR.
PNY Marais, the one in SoMa
Eating
The terrace: a small corner of Brooklyn on the Parisian cobblestones, even if the shades of pink and green of this beautiful new restaurant are actually inspired by beautiful Miami style. Anyway, on this terrace with a few tables facing the Carreau du Temple, we see immediately that the East Coast has the advantage. JR.
Le Bistrot de Mme Shawn, the one at Carreau du Temple
Eating
The terrace: red desire. We love the delightful 'in the mood for love’ touch that has been bestowed upon this authentic Parisian Bistro. The furniture and spirit have been preserved; absorbed into this outpost of Thailand. And on the terrace, facing the Carreau du Temple, you can be ' lost in translation ' in the heart of one of the trendiest districts of the capital. JR.
Les Triplettes, the one in Belleville
Eating, Drinking
The terrace: spacious and well shaded. It is a beautiful part of the Boulevard de Belleville. Bistro tables and vintage chairs beneath a blue awning; here there is not even the shadow of a cloud. Finally, a terrace where you can breathe! JR.
