Frenchie

Top choice in Paris

LoginSave

Tucked down an inconspicuous alley, this tiny bistro with wooden tables and old stone walls is always packed and for good reason: Gregory Marchand's modern, market-driven, unpretentious dishes, which have earned him a Michelin star. Only five-course menus are available at dinner. Reserve well in advance. Alternatively, head to neighbouring Frenchie Bar à Vins.

There are no reservations at Frenchie Bar à Vins – for the best chance of nabbing a seat, arrive by 6pm, when a queue starts forming, or after 10pm.

During the day, swing by its adjacent deli-style takeaway outlet Frenchie to Go.
