At this family-run rue Lepic pâtisserie, the tart selection changes with the seasons: greengage and fig as summer fades, chocolate and pear in winter, all tucked into the shop’s distinctive crisp, sugar-studded crust.

Butter, Bordeaux, bœuf bourguignon, and a towering Grand Marnier soufflé set the tone at Joséphine Chez Dumonet. This old-school Rue du Cherche-Midi bistro still delivers Paris with a generous soupçon of pomp.

Classique brings warmth and invention to Pigalle with wine-based cocktails, housemade ingredients and a menu built around grape varieties.
