Gregory Marchand's Frenchie sits on Paris's Rue du Nil, the alley he and his suppliers turned into a four-shop street: bistro, bar, wine cellar.
OrderWhatever the bavette is dressed with that week, and the pavlova for dessert.
TipIf the bistro is booked, the Frenchie Bar à Vins across the alley takes walk-ups and runs the same kitchen.
Le Bistrot Flaubert in Paris's 17e is the Michel Rostang bistro annex now run by Nicolas Baumann and the Groupe Éclore team. Kitchen leans french bistro.
OrderWhatever offal main is up, the chocolate dessert, a glass of saint-joseph.
TipLunch is the steal: a two-course set for under €35, including a glass of wine and coffee.
Tomy Gousset's Tomy & Co in Paris's 7e earned a Michelin star in 2018 and still runs the seasonal kitchen everyone in the embassy quarter books for a long.
OrderSweetbreads in winter, pithivier of game in autumn, the soufflé to finish.
TipClosed Sunday and Monday. The five-course tasting at €98 is the deal of the room on weeknights.
Le Mermoz in Paris's 8e is the neighbourhood bistro chef Thomas Graham took over after Manon Fleury: a single chalkboard, fish-forward small plates at lunch.
OrderWhatever raw-fish starter is up, the beef tartare, the brown-butter cake.
TipLunch only Mon-Wed, dinner Thu-Fri, no service Sat-Sun. Book a week ahead for dinner.
Le Bistrot Paris in the 7e runs a classic carte where the lunch menu rotates daily and dinner stays close to the Lyonnais playbook. A regulars' room.
OrderSteak tartare with a poached egg, profiteroles with hot chocolate sauce.
TipThe lunch menu at €24 is the city's most under-rated set, including coffee and a small carafe.
Bertrand Grébaut's Septime in Paris remains the room every neo-bistro in the city compares itself to. Reservations open 21 days ahead and burn within an hour.
OrderThe cured mackerel starter and whatever fish is on the second course.
TipEasier on a Tuesday lunch than Friday dinner. Same kitchen, same wine, half the wait list.
