Where to Go in Paris: 10 Trendy Restaurants

The restaurants and cafes of Paris are also a kind of attraction because the oldest establishments remember people whose names have forever remained in history and art. However, many of the modern best restaurants in Paris are also ready to show the highest class, and we will see this now.

Septime

Septime is a new format for a modern Parisian restaurant. No tablecloths, experimental menu. Not a traditional restaurant, but a “creative studio”, as the owner himself says about the place. For guests – set menu and carte blanche menu. Given the ongoing excitement around this place, a table must be reserved in advance, ideally two weeks in advance. The establishment has a Septime Cave wine bar, where you can also buy a bottle of wine with you.

Copenhague

Copenhague restaurant is a real corner of Denmark in Paris. It is run by a young Danish chef, Andreas Müller, who, after successfully completing two restaurant projects in Copenhagen, decided to bring Scandinavian cuisine to Paris. Here you can taste unusual Nordic dishes and admire the authentic Danish design from the studio GamFratesi.

Bachaumont

The newly refurbished 1920s Bachaumont in Montorgueil has a restaurant of the same name, designed by Parisian designer Dorothée Meilichzon. A glass roof, an open kitchen, arched doorways, colorful chairs, and austere dining tables – in one space, she combined Art Deco elements with modern design.

Jacopo

The Jacopo restaurant should be visited at least to look at its interiors, designed by Russian designer Natalia Belonogova, for whom this project was the first large-scale work in Paris. It is located in a busy tourist area a stone’s throw from the Champs Elysees: you will find it immediately thanks to its bright blue marquises. In addition to the restaurant itself, there is a secret bar in the basement, designed in the style of an old Parisian apartment.

Marxito

Premium street food – does that happen? “It happens!”, – the cult chef Thierry Marx and the star designer Ora-Ito declare in unison in their new restaurant project Marxito. Their main task is to make haute cuisine mass, budgetary and accessible to everyone. All meals are prepared with organic natural products from local producers and suppliers. It serves unusual Japanese dishes, such as dorayaki, which Thierry prepares according to his own recipes (including with buckwheat filling).

Girafe

The Girafe restaurant designed by Joseph Dirand is located in the very heart of Paris – in the former Palais du Trocadéro, which is now called the Palais de Chaillot. The place is famous not only for its design and cuisine but also for the most breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower. This is the second project of the French design star with restaurateur Gilles Malafosse, with whom they previously worked together on the equally famous LouLou restaurant in the northern wing of the Louvre.

Beefbar

Luxury without frills, French chic, and glamour – all this is the new Beefbar in Paris, which became the 15th establishment of the restaurateur from Monaco Ricardo Giraudi. The interiors were designed by Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet of Humbert & Poyet, who took advantage of the site’s past to create a trendy contemporary space in a historic Art Nouveau building.

Maison du Caviar

You can taste caviar and fish dishes in the recently reopened Maison du Caviar restaurant on the Champs Elysees. The interiors are rich in gold and decor, and the walls are decorated with de Gournay hand-painted wallpaper specially designed for this project. All this refers to the exquisite Parisian establishments of the early 20th century and the Art Deco era.

Le Schiap

The Italian restaurant Le Schiap has opened just a few steps from the Champs Elysees at the new 5-star Hôtel de Berri. Once on the site of the restaurant, there was a workshop of the fashion designer and style icon of the 1930s Elsa Schiaparelli, which served as a motive for the painting of the walls by the famous illustrator Hippolyte Romain on the theme of the life of Parisian bohemia of the early 20th century. Over a cup of coffee, it is very exciting to guess the faces of the characters depicted on the wall.

Bouillon Julien

British designer John Whelan, the founder of Guild of Saint Luke, has one passionate passion: he is restoring the interiors of iconic French brasseries of the early 20th century, returning them to their historical appearance and former glory. Among his works in recent years are the interiors of the Brasserie Floderer in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, the Brasserie Excelsior in Reims, and, finally, the Bouillon Julien restaurant on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis in Paris. This is a place steeped in history. The establishment is located in a building built in 1906 by the architect Edouard Fournier and is one of the finest examples of Art Nouveau. Over the years, various celebrities loved to visit here – from avant-garde artists to Edith Piaf, who often dined here with her lover, boxer Marcel Serdan at table number 24.
