Every year, history repeats itself: hardly a week goes by, in Paris and its region, without a new restaurant popping up. The city is not considered the timeless capital of gastronomy for nothing. 2022 saw the arrival on the culinary scene of nuggets like Ambos, from the ex-Top Boss Pierre Chomet, but also the restaurant of Omar Dhiab, quickly awarded a star in the Michelin Guide, or the Doyenné, a country restaurant in Essonne, led by James Henry and Shaun Kelly.
The year 2023 is no exception to the rule. And if some openings have disappointed, this year again, there is enough to fill its address book and renew the trend quite significantly. Haute couture sushi at Sushi Yoshinaga, extremely glamorous Andalusian cuisine at the Chambre Bleue (photo), plates full of character from Maxime Bouttier at Géosmine or even the clever bistro of Emile Cotte at Bacav’ Boulogne. Among the restaurants visited in 2023 by the editorial team Pointhere are his favorites. List updated every month. Last updated: October 6, 2023.
The best restaurants in Paris opened recently according to the editorial staff
The former Kunitoraya bistro has become a sort of gourmet counter where you can enjoy Japanese yakitori in their style, light years away from what is served in the vast majority of Asian canteens in the city. The taste is worth the price. 5, rue Villédo, 1st. Menus: €120 and €180.
Closed since the departure of Nicolas Sale, the gourmet restaurant of the Parisian palace reopened in September 2023 with a new arrival in the kitchen: Eugénie Béziat. She uses very beautiful contemporary cuisine, both classic and personal, bathed in African influences – she grew up between Gabon, Congo and the Ivory Coast – and Mediterranean touches. Pastry chef François Perret is back in business when it comes to plated desserts, and it’s a treat! 15, place Vendôme, 1st. Menus: €290 and €380.
A counter, ten seats, an experienced chef, a timeless decor and sushi like pieces of goldsmith alongside a perfectly executed tasting menu… Such is the program of this new, highly unique place. 27, rue du 4 September, 2nd. Omakase menu: €330.
