Best Restaurants in Paris
Recent awards and lists from Time Out, OpenTable, La Liste, TheFork and Michelin highlight specific dining addresses in central Paris.
How we reported this
Hakuba at 8 quai du Louvre in Paris 1er was named the best restaurant of 2025 at the Time Out Paris Food & Drink Awards. This recognition places the address among the city’s most noted dining spots for that year.
Time Out and OpenTable highlights
Hakuba sits at the same 8 quai du Louvre location as Plénitude, the restaurant run by Guy Savoy inside the Cheval Blanc hotel. Plénitude has been recognised as the best restaurant in the world for eight years by La Liste. Zoutra, meanwhile, ranks as the highest-rated restaurant in Paris on OpenTable’s 2026 update and is noted for having the best service in the city. These separate awards point to different strengths across the same central area near the Louvre.
Michelin-starred addresses
Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris include Le Jules Verne inside the Eiffel Tower, L’Oiseau Blanc at 19 avenue Kléber, Jean Imbert au Plaza Athénée, and Pierre Gagnaire at 6 rue Balzac. Each of these venues appears on lists of top Michelin-starred options and draws attention for its location and cuisine style.
TheFork 2026 list details
