Taillevent

8ème ARRONDISSEMENT. Top-rated for food, service and popularity, Taillevent has been a reckoning force in Parisian dining for more than a half-century. The small, elegant townhouse boasts an accomplished kitchen, incredible seasonal specialties, and an extensive, award-winning wine list. Possibilities include braised beef with cumin-fragranced carrots and pistachio-crusted sea bass with fennel sauce. Dessert pastries maintain their own, well-deserved reputation for excellence.
