The 15 Best New Restaurants In Paris

"Cheval d’Or has been around since 1987, and the facade hasn’t changed since. What is different, though, is who’s running it. New owners and chefs have taken over this former Chinese restaurant in Belleville and turned it into a fusion spot where fashion folk and their friends get into whole roast duck, croque madame stuffed with lobster and topped with chili oil, or their take on barbajuan: fried wontons wrapped in swiss chard. There’s French flair at dessert, too, thanks to an île flottante with hints of black tea and spoonfuls of tapioca, which makes for a soupy, soft, and chewy final bite.  " - sara lieberman, lindsey tramuta
