Champs-Elysées
Granterroirs
With long, shared wooden tables and shelves full of preserves and wines, Granterroirs feels more like a farmhouse kitchen than a restaurant off the Champs-Elysées. The cooks turn out fresh and inventive salads, hot dishes and desserts using the épicerie’s products, which are marked with asterisks on the menu. Food served at lunch only.
Granterroirs, 30 rue de Miromesnil, 8th (00 33 1 47 42 18 18/www.granterroirs.com) Métro Miromesnil. Meal for two with wine and service: €60.

Rech
Star chef Alain Ducasse has revived this once-flailing art deco seafood brasserie, restoring the cuisine to its former glory while discreetly updating the dining room with Japanese fish prints. Seafood shucker Malec has occupied the same spot on the pavement since 1982.
Rech, 62 av des Ternes, 17th (00 33 1 45 72 29 47/www.rech.fr) Métro Ternes. Meal for two with wine and service: around €150. Feature continues

Le Table de Babette
A TASTE OF THE ANTILLES
Television chef and cookbook author Babette de Rosières has settled comfortably into the copper-pot-lined kitchen where Joël Robuchon rose to fame. Born in Guadeloupe, she brings a refined touch to Creole dishes such as shark in green tomato curry sauce and pork with five spices.
Le Table de Babette, 32 rue de Longchamp, 16th (00 33 1 45 53 00 07/ www.latabledebabette.com) Métro Trocadéro. Meal for two with wine and service: around €130.

Le Table Lauriston
Serge Barbey knows that you can’t go wrong with top-notch ingredients, simply prepared and garnished with restraint. Specialities in this colourful dining room are foie gras cuit au torchon (poached in a bouillon), veal flank steak with sautéed potatoes and baba au rhum big enough for two, with a choice of rums for dousing.
Le Table Lauriston, 129 rue Lauriston, 16th (00 33 1 47 27 00 07) Métro Trocadéro. Meal for two with wine and service: around €130.
