Sashay over to the sushi
bar or past the boutique to the dining room at this new eatery
owned by Laurent Taieb (owner of Lo Sushi) and designer Philippe
Starck. After over ten years of directing his talents elsewhere,
Starck has again turned his eye to Paris and created a seductively
homey space filled with theatrical touches. The cuisine is anachronistic
for Paris: continental fusion with Eastern accents and a Zen
devotion to well-being. However, if you crave steak-frites,
you can find it listed on the menu under "I Am Bad." |

With a superb view of
the Arc de Triumphe, a fresh menu by young chef, Didier Doucet,
an elegant high-ceilinged interior and all new management this
restaurant is on the upswing. Tony Gomez presides over both
restaurant and downstairs nightclub with the style and taste
that has made him the man to follow on the Paris night scene.
Here he has created an atmosphere where you eat well (and maybe
see some beautiful people) without entering the stuffy world
of four-star mannerisms. He is as happy that you enjoy the scallops
topped with thin truffle slices, as the art work large format
photos of jazz musicians from Gomez's own collection. |

Four rooms, with four
different ambiences, take you from day lit cafe, to the ice-green
leather chairs and stunning black and white of the bar, to the
hushed orange of the candlelit restaurant, to a "chill out room"
with a low ceiling and even lower seating in this new restaurant
designed by French architect Christian Biecher. The concept
being that urban professionals can come at any time of the day
or evening for something to eat and drink. Very chic and relaxed
without being "trendy." Glass of champagne 10 euros, dinner
30 euros and up. |

It hasn't taken long for
Parisians to discover ZO, tucked off the Rue Faubourg Saint
Honore on a very quiet, but central street. In just nine months,
young and dynamic owners Micael Memmi and Olivier Haski have
conceived two-menus-in-one, both inspired by southern cuisine.
French provincial cooking shares the spotlight with sushi. Each
menu has its own chef. The clientele, too, is a mix from the
worlds of business, fashion and politics. We recommend the mille
feuille of zucchini, tomato and mozzarella, and an incredible
dessert, le Ying et le Yang, served warm and oozing an unctuous
chocolate sauce. Lunch menu 15 euros. Dinner around 30 euros.
