FRENCHIE
Best New Restaurant Having only recently opened its doors in 2009, the award-winning Frenchie is one of the most in-demand casual restaurants in Paris for its simple yet flavorsome seasonal Franco-Italian cuisine, and its cosy-yet-chic modern interiors. Having trained with Jamie Oliver for many years, chef Gregory Marchand's cuisine lets his seasonal produce shine. Frenchie is also one of the best value 3-course lunch menus in town (€23), however with only 20-seats it is also one of the most difficult tables to book in Paris.
