A vast belle époque dining room, waiters in waistcoats, and the bill written on the paper tablecloth. Go at 6pm, before the line forms and while the room is still calm enough to look at.

Places worth planning a day around
Paris has thousands of restaurants. These aren’t all of the good ones. They’re the ones I find myself recommending.
Breakfast & brunch
Breakfast is usually a small affair here. Traditionally it’s an espresso, a croissant, and a cigarette if you smoke. If you want more than that:

You say it once. We keep what a friend would tell you and a listing usually doesn’t.
A listing tells you where somewhere is. A friend tells you whether to go.
Put your guide in a story. Send one place to a friend. Leave it for guests.

Add practical notes
Friends kept asking us where to eat in Paris, what was actually worth booking, and the small practical things you only learn by living somewhere. So we wrote them down and sent the document around.
Then their friends started forwarding it.
That is the whole idea. The best recommendations already travel this way, from someone who knows a city to someone about to visit it, and they usually arrive as a text message or a document nobody can find again a year later.
So we make them into something worth keeping. Every guide here is one person’s taste. Nothing is ranked, nothing is averaged out of a thousand reviews, and every place in it was chosen by the person whose name is on it. When everything else is machine-made, somebody’s actual taste is the rare thing.
Then up to five guides, live for anyone to read and share.
Leave your email and the city you know. If there’s a place for you, we’ll write.
