Our restaurant recommendations are now quarterly and seasonal. We want each list to reflect what we want to be eating in that season - including cozy spots for hearty food in the winter, and great outdoor terraces in the summer. We also want to update these lists quarterly to include the newest buzz-worthy spots that we’ve tested and approved. We visit restaurants anonymously and pay full price so that special treatment isn’t clouding our judgement.
This page is an archive of all the quarterly top lists that we’ve published to date. They’re all reserved for the paid subscribers.
My wife and I just returned from a week in Paris. We ate at four restaurants on your recent top 50 lists: Oktobre, Semilla, Alliance and Mer & Coquillage. Oktobre and Semilla were also recommended by the concierge at our Hotel Pont Royale. They were wonderful.
Our last night's dinner was at Alliance. It matches your great review. The maitre d', Sean, sets an extraordinary tone of perfect service with a sense of humor.
We were somewhat disappointed at M&C. Our young woman server was great but the main fish courses were only OK; especially for the price.
HELP! Hello. I’m new to Substack and not being terribly social media/blogger savvy YET trying to figure how to subscribe to Meg’s blog. I’m a foodie and trying to get the top restaurant lists before heading to Paris later this month.
