"Open for: Lunch and dinnerPrice range: $$$Even as the French diet evolves away from meat, many Gauls still have a soft spot for really good steak frites. So where’s the beef in Paris? Ex-butcher William Bernet’s clubby, wood-paneled Left Bank dining room is the ultimate answer, with a simple menu of beautifully aged cuts of beef and dishes like steak tartare, sirloin, rib steak, and more. There’s an outstanding wine list, too. Located in the 14th arrondissement.Know before you go: Portions are large, so skip a starter and have some cheese (the Saint Nectaire is perfectly aged) or dessert (the creme caramel is house-made)." - Alexander Lobrano
