Flora
provincial elegance
36 avenue George V, 8ème • 01 40 70 10 49
Open lunch & dinner Mon-Fri, dinner only Sat
This stylish restaurant's menu is influenced by south-
ern France (chef Flora Mikula was born in Provence),
but also dips into even sunnier lands, such as Turkey,
Morocco and India. Mikula has a sure touch with pro-
duce and lots of finesse, as dishes such as lobster with
wild mushrooms in coral vinaigrette attest. Moderate

Le Bistrot Napolitain
perfect pizza
18 avenue Franklin D Roosevelt, 8ème • 01 45 62 08 37
Open lunch & dinner Mon-Fri, dinner only Sat
Down-to-earth bistros are thin on the ground in these
parts, which explains the popularity of this Italian
trattoria
. It's hard to resist the crisp-crusted classic
pizzas, such as Margherita, but the
carpaccio
, fish
and pasta are equally tempting. Perfect for a quick
bite after the cinema, but book ahead. Moderate

Garnier
a fishy business
111 rue St-Lazare, 8ème • 01 43 87 50 40
Open lunch & dinner daily
Sup on freshly shucked oysters at the bijou oyster bar
just inside the door, or take an impeccably laid table
near the window and watch the commuters from
nearby Gare St-Lazare grind by. The setting is elegant,
waiters are considerate and the seafood is a cut well
above that of most Paris brasseries. Expensive

www.taillevent.com Open lunch & dinner Mon-Fri
Boosted by the success of his Michelin three-star rest-
aurant, Taillevent, owner Jean-Claude Vrinat opened
this more cost-conscious bistro. Contemporary in look,
it combines both the classical and the modern in the
kitchen, sending out attractive dishes such as braised
veal cheeks to an up-market clientele. Moderate
