FIEF is a sleek and modern restaurant in the 11th with a mission to use local ingredients. The name FIEF stands for Fait Ici En France (made here in France) and the restaurant’s goal is to import nothing from outside of France. Their mission is executed with phenomenal expertise by chef Victor Mercier (a Top… Read More »FIEF The post FIEF first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH ..read more

I just returned to Maslow to test some of their vegan dishes (the menu is about half vegetarian and half vegan) and honestly, I loved every bite. In particular, the roasted carrots with citrus + chipotle dish was great, as was the thick slice of confit celery root with a long reduced sauce and chili… Read More »Maslow The post Maslow first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH ..read more

There are a lot of tasting menus in Paris right now. Comice stands out because of Etheliya Hananova’s exceptional wine pairings and Noah Gedalof deliciously un-provocative cooking (crowd-pleasing, not overly challenging). The beautiful room and friendly bilingual service make Comice worthy of a special occasion, especially for those who are looking for more approachable cuisine.… Read More »Comice The post Comice first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH ..read more

The restaurant Godaille, situated across the street from the charming Square Trousseau, is a wonderful new addition to the Aligre neighborhood. Its ambitions feel modest – they seem to want to be a neighborhood place – and they’re exceeding them with inventive small plates and one of the best steak dishes I’ve ever tasted. Go… Read More »Godaille The post Godaille first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH ..read more

Attabler is a decent bistro in a neighborhood (place Victor Hugo) that seriously lacks such simple pleasures. We enjoyed the blanquette de veau and sausage with puréed potatoes. Desserts fell flat, as did the onion soup with rubbery cheese topping, but there are so few affordable options in this area that Attabler still stands out… Read More »Attabler The post Attabler first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH ..read more

Dandelion is my kind of place. It’s off the beaten path in a village-y corner of the 20th. It’s affordable, filled with locals and flying a little under the radar. It’s so much better than you expect it to be – from the friendly service to the thoughtful wine list (mostly but not entirely natural)… Read More »Dandelion The post Dandelion first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH ..read more

Two talented Italians have taken over the old Robert space and are now serving an incredible tasting menu – my current favorite in the city. Eugenio Anfuso (previously at Astrance and L’Ambroisie) is creating bizarre and delicious dishes like this lightly smoked veal tartare with peanuts and sea urchin ice cream. His partner Cecilia Spurio handles the dining room and… Read More »Amâlia The post Amâlia first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH ..read more

Benjamin Schmitt is becoming known for his cassoulet – a delicious crock full of creamy and richly flavored beans, nicely browned sausage and decadent duck confit. But aside from that one dish his menu is pretty modern, featuring dishes like licorice-flavored pork loin with anchovy-spiked Swiss chard. The space feels grown up, with deep blue… Read More »Benjamin Schmitt The post Benjamin Schmitt first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH ..read more

The restaurant A.T. is the project of Japanese chef Atsushi Tanaka, who serves a technicolor tasting menu in a minimalist dining room. My first visit in 2015 prompted disdain. The dishes seemed to be designed for the early days of Instagram, and didn’t have much depth beyond their pretty looks. Two different tables at dinner… Read More »A.T.

If you’re coming this summer and want to taste some truly amazing things, you should book one of our private food tours in Paris. Our small group tours are genuinely small – only eight guests – and they’re pretty great. But booking a private tour means you can focus on the flavors you’re crazy about… Read More »Private food tours in paris The post Private food tours in paris first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH ..read more
