Septime ★ 4.8
80 Rue de Charonne, 75011 Paris
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.
Tip: Easier on a Tuesday lunch than Friday dinner. Same kitchen, same wine, half the wait list.
Le Servan ★ 4.5
32 Rue Saint-Maur, 75011 Paris
Tatiana and Katia Levha's Le Servan in Paris reads the seasonal-French rulebook through a Filipino lens. The dining room is loud, the menu changes weekly.
Tip: Lunch is a third of the price and almost as good as dinner. Booking opens 30 days out.
Le Chateaubriand ★ 4.5
129 Avenue Parmentier, 75011 Paris
Iñaki Aizpitarte's Le Chateaubriand in Paris invented the modern neo-bistro tasting menu in 2006. A fixed five courses, no swap, runs €85 a head.
Tip: Bookings 09:00 the day prior; or take a 21:30 walk-in slot at the second seating.
Bistrot Paul Bert ★ 4.4
18 Rue Paul Bert, 75011 Paris
Bistrot Paul Bert is Paris's textbook bistro: zinc bar, chalkboard menu, steak frites cooked rare with hand-cut fries, île flottante for two on a single platter.
Tip: Closed Sunday and Monday. Book two weeks ahead for a weeknight or take the 19:30 first seating.
Le Saint-Sébastien ★ 4.2
42 Rue Saint-Sébastien, 75011 Paris
Le Saint-Sébastien is the Paris 11e wine-bar bistro that pours a tighter natural-wine list than its size suggests, with smoked herring and beef tartare to match.
Tip: Lunch is the easier ticket than dinner. Closed Mon-Tue, full Wed-Sun service.
Chez Paul ★ 4.0
13 Rue de Charonne, 75011 Paris
Chez Paul in Paris's 11e has run a corner bistro at the same Charonne address since 1908. The carte changes by season; the bistro chairs do not.
Tip: Closed Sundays. The pavement terrace is the best seat from May to September.
