Cléo – Paris
Cleo – Paris
Restaurant Cléo, located in the luxury-hotel, Le Narcisse Blanc Hôtel & Spa, is the only restaurant we’ve reviewed in Paris that made both our ‘Best Breakfasts’ and ‘Affordable Gourmet’ lists of top-picks. The ambience is noticeably more upscale than the other breakfast spots that made our list and the dinner menu and it’s execution rival the city’s top restaurants at a fraction of the cost. Opens at 7 a.m. for early-bird tourists.
Innocence – Paris
Petit Boutary – Paris
Petit Boutary, located out in the 17th Arrondissement, is the younger sibling of the upscale, highly-acclaimed restaurant, Boutary, in Saint-Germain-de-Prés, south of the river. Feel free to wear you cotton khakis or jeans and enjoy a sophisticated tasting menu in a casual ambiance without the pretense. We recently enjoyed a gourmet 3-course meal at lunch for only 35 euros. That’s gourmet dining at brasserie prices.
