7ème ARRONDISSEMENT. No other Parisian restaurant can boast the views that Jules Verne does, especially since it's located 400 feet up in the Eiffel Tower! Chef Alain Ducasse ensures fabulous French fare such as crab in light shrimp sauce and swordfish with potato puree and caviar. The wine list is equally superb, and an English-speaking sommelier is on hand to answer any questions you may have. The decor is techno-like, thanks to a black glossy interior. METRO: Bir-Hakeim

8ème ARRONDISSEMENT. Eminently romantic, this restaurant pays homage to the days of dining par excellence. It still maintains the niceties of perfectly placed silver and crystal and adds in subdued lighting and soft music. Even better, when the weather allows, the roof can be pulled back to afford views of the night sky. The classic menu elaborated by Jean-Louis Nomicos (who worked with Alain Ducasse), revels in slightly shaken tradition, including duck a l'orange, poached fish, and a salad rich with truffles. An amazing wine list is a welcome perk. METRO: Franklin D. Roosevelt (lines 1, 9)

1er ARRONDISSEMENT. Under the arches of Palais Royal, chef Guy Martin creates culinary alchemy in a restaurant described as one of Paris's most beautiful; mirrors, gilts and fresco paintings contributed to the election of this place as an official Historical Monument. Historically, it's been a favorite with the French elite – imagine Napoleon or Jean Cocteau at dinner. Delight in foie gras-stuffed ravioli or poached oysters in beetroot sauce. Exquisite wines accompany dinners, and the cheese tray features varieties from Chef Martin's native Savoie. METRO: Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre (lines 1, 7) or Bourse (line 3)

17ème ARRONDISSEMENT. It's rare to find a family-owned restaurant with longevity, but Michel Rostang is one of them. Daughter Caroline Rostang (official hostess) shows the same passion for fine French cuisine as did her parents, Marie-Claude and Michel. Caroline proudly informs diners of menu items created by her grandfather, and truffles are introduced into dishes in creative, sumptuous ways. Tiny lobsters prepared on a branch of thyme evoke subtle flavor, and desserts include hot bitter chocolate mousse. The wine list is primarily French, although a few California varieties are available. You can even visit the air conditioned cellar with Sommelier Alain Ronzatti. The kitchen can be seen through a viewing bay, if you want to glimpse the chef's secrets. METRO: Ternes (line 2)
