Michelin star restaurants in Paris

Out of all the Michelin star restaurants in the world, Paris is currently home to 131 of them.¹

Here’s a look at a selection of some of the city’s most memorable spots.

Plénitude - Cheval Blanc Paris

We’re starting the list off with one of the most exquisite three-Michelin star restaurants, Plénitude. Located in the Cheval Blanc Hotel, it’s run by chef Arnaud Donckele, known for his work at La Vague d'Or in Saint Tropez.²

Plénitude offers a mix of elevated classical French cuisine and Mediterranean flavours. Chef Donckele is particularly famous for his jus, sauces and dressings, which tie every dish together perfectly. Chef Maxime Frédéric, known for his previous work in George V, is in charge of desserts and pastries.²

The restaurant is located at 8 quai du Louvre. It’s closed on Sundays and Mondays.²

Sushi Yoshinaga

If you’re in the mood for Japanese cuisine, the two-Michelin star Sushi Yoshinaga is a great choice. Led by sushi master Tomoyuki Yoshinaga, the intimate venue serves up to ten guests at a time.³

At Sushi Yoshinaga, you can enjoy exceptional fish, signature marinades and flavourful warm starters. Beyond the delicious, fresh food, the experience is enhanced by soft lightning, Japanese handmade ceramics and maple wood panels, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.³

The restaurant is located at 27 rue du 4-Septembre and it’s open every day except for Sunday and Monday.³

Baieta

Baieta is a one-Michelin star restaurant offering Mediterranean-inspired fine dining. Chef Julia Sedefdjian combines premium ingredients to create unique dishes with a nod to her Nice heritage. This is also one of the more affordable Michelin star restaurants in Paris.⁴

The warm stews, juicy meats and fresh veggies may sound simple on paper, but they’re elevated by chef Sedefdjian’s creative approach. The Bouillabaieta, Baieta’s take on bouillabaisse, is their signature, must-try dish.⁴

Baieta is located at 5 rue de Pontoise. It’s open every day, with a mid-day break, so it’s a great option for brunch or dinner.⁴

Divellec

Another one-Michelin star gem is Divellec, founded by renowned chef Jacques Le Divellec and now led by chef Mathieu Pacaud. Divellec is the place to go for first-class, locally caught seafood.⁵

Some of their signature dishes include sole meunière and wild young turbot. The restaurant is located near Esplanade des Invalides, an ideal spot for dinner after a day of sightseeing.⁵

Divellec’s address is 18 rue Fabert, and it’s open every day from 12:00 to 13:30 and from 19:00 to 21:30.⁵

Le Cinq

Le Cinq, named after its location in the Four Seasons Hotel George V, is a three-Michelin star restaurant in the heart of Paris. Not only is the food exceptional, the dining experience is also enhanced by the opulent ambience of one of the most luxurious hotels in the city.⁶

The restaurant is led by chef Christian Le Squer, who celebrates his native Brittany with dishes such as soured milk with caviar and salted butter with lobster. Chef Michael Bartocetti is in charge of desserts, creating signature sweets flavoured with fruit and honey.⁶

You can find Le Cinq at 31 avenue George V. It’s closed on Sundays and Mondays, and on other days it’s open from 19:00 to 22:00.⁶

Tour d’Argent

Tour d’Argent is one of the oldest Michelin star restaurants in Paris, established in 1582. This is the place to go to if you’d like to enjoy French haute cuisine alongside beautiful views of Notre Dame and the Seine.⁷

The restaurant has been awarded one Michelin star for its gourmet menu, created by chef Yannick Franques, a holder of the Meilleur Ouvrier de France title. The dishes bring centuries of French gastronomic history to life, and you can pair them with a selection from their cellar of 300,000 bottles of wine. For a lighter option, head to their ground floor bar to enjoy the snack menu and daily specials.⁷

Tour d’Argent is located at 15 quai de la Tournelle and reservations are available every day except Sunday and Monday.⁷
