This is the city where the bistro was born, where butter is practically a religion, and where a glass of wine with lunch is considered a balanced decision. Haute cuisine may have started here, but today Paris is just as much about neo-bistros, natural wine bars, and international kitchens that keep the city buzzing late into the night.

We’ve strolled, sipped, and savored our way through the city to bring you 16 spots worth the reservation. This is Paris on a plate.
