Schwartz’s Deli in Paris is a New York-style delicatessan mimicking the world famous deli of the same name in NYC. But in addition to the pastrami sandwiches you can get a variety of menu items, including some big, juicy burgers. Pleasant decor and delicious food and 3 locations. The sandwiches and burgers are priced slightly higher than most other burger restaurants. But this is the best American fare in the city.
Le Ruisseau operates three locations. Two table-service restaurants with porcelain plates and silverware located in the 18th and Levallois and a fast-casual ‘Burger Joint’ with limited seating and counter-service only, with burgers served with paper-wrapped packaging. Good burgers at a good price.
Pilgrim offers a sophisticated tasting menu for a fraction of what you’ll pay at several of the city’s restaurants boasting 3 Michelin stars, yet is rated as high as any of those restaurants by consumers on Google reviews. Of course, it’s not the over-the-top, elegant dining experience you’d receive at Epicure, Le Pré Catelan or Guy Savoy … but Pilgrim offers an opportunity to enjoy haute-cuisine without breaking the piggy bank.
With a sleek, contemporary décor with red and white accents and black and white photograph-prints on the wall, Bistrot de l’Oulette is banking that bringing traditional bistro fare into an ambience that better meets the demands of contemporary diners will pay off. Based on the high consumer ratings they’ve received, the plan seems to be working.
Le Comptoir des Petits Champs is another restaurant in our list that barely qualifies as a bistro in light of a slightly more sophisticated ambience and menu that the typical Parisian bistro. By offering menu items using unique ingredients like boar and deer Le Comptoir des Petits Champs distinguishes itself from the other bistros on our list of top picks. Although it’s slightly more expensive than a traditional bistro, it’s worth a visit to see a more creative slant on classic bistro cuisine.
La Pie Noir is one our favorite bistros in Paris. Popular with locals and tourists alike, for good reason. It’s got a comfortable ambience that’s a bit more “today” than a traditional bistro. A friendly, competent staff and a classic bistro menu. Don’t miss the razor clams appetizer.
