Dining

Best healthy bar/restaurant:

Bob’s Juice Bar and Kitchen

The original Bob’s Juice bar, just behind the funky Canal Saint Martin neighbourhood, showed the City of Light how good a seriously laidback and well-run organic juice bar could be. This new location, “Kitchen” expands the menu, and offers some of the best and healthiest vegetarian comfort food around.
Where: Bob’s Juice Bar and Kitchen, 74 rue des Gravilliers, Paris, Tel: +33 (0)6 5095 3697.

Best steak tartare:

Les Fines Gueules

Les Fines Gueules, located in a timbered, multilevel 17th century building just off of the chic Place des Victoires shopping area, has the best tartar in the city. Hand-cut (not hamburgered) beef from the Limousin region (from star butcher Hugo Desnoyer), mixed with pesto, aged parmesan, and served with tasty grenade potatoes.
Where: 43 rue Croix des Petits Champs, Paris, +33 (0)1 4261 3541.

Museum

Best private museum:

Jacquemard-André Museum

Located a 10-minute walk from the Champs Elysees, this turn-of-the-century private manor house-turned-museum offers a superb collection of French, Italian and Dutch masterpieces as well, as revolving exhibitions in a sumptuous setting.

Bars

The best clubbing:

V.I.P Room Theatre

Recently opened across from the Louvre museum, this is, without a doubt the most in-your-face glam dance club in the city. To guarantee entrance, have your hotel concierge reserve a table with bottle service in advance – otherwise, dress to the nines and risk the wrath of the doorman!
Where: V.I.P Room Theatre, 188 bis rue de Rivoli, Paris, Tel: +33 (0)1 5836 4600.

Cuisine

Best Cooking School:

Ecole de Cuisine Alain Ducasse

French superchef Alain Ducasse just opened a new cooking school in the chic sixteenth neighbourhood. Aimed at amateurs, it offers traditional French cooking as well as more exotic international fare and wine tasting. Definitely something to brag about to the folks back home.
