Europe France Paris Dining Chez Fernand Christine

Chez Fernand Christine

The guide was updated:
For a dinner that hits classic Paris without feeling staged, head to Chez Fernand Christine. Just off Odéon, its three vaulted rooms — exposed beams, red-brick walls, and checkered tablecloths — feel like stepping back into old Paris, low ceilings and a cosy buzz included. The menu ploughs through traditional French territory — bouillons, boeuf bourguignon and tarte tatin for a sweet finish. The wine list is hard to ignore — around 1,300 bottles, enough to spoil even casual wine drinkers for choice.

Le Bistrot du Peintre

Le Bistrot du Peintre

Le Bistrot du Peintre has been holding court on avenue Ledru-Rollin since 1902, its curving woodwork, etched glass, and tiled floors a textbook example of Parisian Art Nouveau. The century-old bistro still serves up traditional French fare — duck confit, steak-frites, and seasonal specials — alongside a wine list that mixes well-known estates with small, independent producers. Renovated in 2012 without losing an ounce of its old-world charm, it’s as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the appetite.

L'Avant Comptoir de la Terre

L'Avant Comptoir de la Terre

No tables here — just the counter, a blackboard of small plates hanging overhead, and a crowd leaning in with glasses of wine. Opened by Chef Yves Camdeborde in 2009, it’s all about land-based bites: duck foie gras skewers, oxtail croquettes with red wine and horseradish, Corsican charcuterie. Everything’s made to graze on with natural wines poured straight from the cabinet. The place is loud in a good way, the bartenders know their stuff, and it’s easy to end up staying longer than planned.

Pizzeria Popolare

Pizzeria Popolare

Pizzeria Popolare is a welcoming, authentic Italian spot in Paris’s 2nd arrondissement. The dining room is bright and full of chatter, with long communal tables, bottle-lined walls, and twinkling lights overhead. It’s made for a good time, whether you’re in a pair or part of a group of fifteen. The menu sticks to classic Neapolitan pizzas, loaded with top-quality ingredients: San Marzano tomatoes from Paolo Ruggiero, buffalo mozzarella from Salvatore Corso delivered fresh three times a week. Burrata, fresh pasta, and generous desserts like tiramisu round out the offerings. Many locals and visitors swear it’s one of the best pizzas in Paris, and it’s easy to see why once you bite into that pillowy crust and fresh mozzarella. Arrive early or be prepared to wait — the pizza alone makes it worth it.

Les Antiquaires

Les Antiquaires

If you’re after a classic bistro meal after a visit to the Musée d’Orsay, Les Antiquaires is a solid choice. The space has serious old-school charm—leather banquettes, vintage mirrors, a hefty wooden bar—like someone pressed pause on 1920s Paris. The menu sticks to familiar French hits: the boeuf bourguignon and onion soup get regular praise, and desserts like brioche toast or crème brûlée rarely disappoint. It’s lively rather than quiet, with a mix of museum-goers and locals, and a timeless atmosphere worth the noise.

Epicure

Epicure

Epicure is tucked inside Le Bristol Paris, overlooking a quiet courtyard garden. Chef Arnaud Faye’s menu is all about letting the ingredients shine — vegetables in season take the lead, while seafood and meats are treated with the same precision and care. The wine list is extensive, designed to complement the dishes rather than steal the show. Booking ahead is a must, and the experience is less about ticking off Michelin stars and more about savouring the artistry of modern French cuisine.
