Paris Restaurants Recommendations
Hi All,
I tried the PAris board but did not have much success.
Does anyone have any restaurants recommendation in Paris?
Especially for NY Eve as I am still trying to research which restaurant will be good on that night.
My AMEX Centurion concierge came back with a list (eg. Le Fouquet, but the menu is a bit limited).
Pref, all seafood course and no venison and other types of exotic red meats.

The latest buzz seems to be about small and not so expensive restaurants such as L'Avant Gout. I've also heard good things about Au Bon Accueil, Le Petit Machon, Violin D'Ingres among others. Check out www.chocolateandzucchini. The authoress often talks about her favorites.. and she knows food!

A variety of recommendations, to suit various prices & tastes.
If money's no object, go to Le Cinque at the Hotel Georges V. It's brilliant: the room is stunning, the service is perfect, and the food is inventive and delicious.
I like to eat at ambitious little neighbourhood places off the beaten tourist track. My current faves are Le Villaret (13, rue Ternaux, 11e) and the rather more rustic Le C'Amelot (50, rue Amelot, 11e).
If you want cheap, touristy Parisian fun (but the best kind), go to Cremerie Polidor (41, rue Monsieur-le-Prince, 6e). New Years Eve--more properly, St-Sylvestre--is a big deal there, and the back wall is decorated with huge jeroboams and methuselahs (or something--I'm lost above a magnum) of champagne finished off on previous St-Sylvestres.
I'm sure any of the major bistros & brasseries would be a hoot on St-Sylvestre. I like Bofinger and Balzar, personally.

I second both Le Cinq in the Four Seasons and Taillevant for 2 outstanding Michelin 3 star places. However, it may be interesting to consider:
L'Astrance in the 16th; L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon; La Table de Joel Robuchon; or Hiramatsu. Doing a search on these restaurants in this forum, the Paris forum and websites mentioned by other posters should yield good information on these places generally. Specific information on New Year's Eve is likely best from your hotel concierge.
Good luck

I belong to a food forum called eGullet, and there is an extensive weekly run-down on Paris restaurants there.
Paris Restaurants News & Reviews is part of the larger section devoted to the food of France. Hope that is helpful.

I was just in Paris last week and we went twice to this restaurant because it was so good. Les Viex Bistro right across the street from Notre Dame. Its small but the atmosphere is awesome and the food, incredible! The staff is fantastic as well. We even got free glasses of champagne and chocolates after dinner the second night we were there, compliments of the owner (I think because we told him how much we enjoyed the place that we decided to come again).
Out of all the places we ate at, this was my favorite.

Sorry if my opinion offends, but finding a superb expensive restaurant in Paris is effortless and incredibly mundane.
The real enjoyment is finding that great little bistro with superior cuisine at profit-defying prices. MJLogan's suggestion of Le C'Amelot is a bulls eye. Some others are Chez Grisette (14 r Houdon near Montmartre), Macis et Muscade (110 r Legendre 17th), Les Zygomates (7 r Capri 12th), and Le Bistrot du Peintre (116 av Ledru Rollin 11th).
