Les Papilles, the provisions and wine shop and bistro in the Fifth Arrondissement. The menu offers no choices -- everyone gets the same soup, main course, salad and dessert -- but the food is often Michelin-star quality.

The food and the prices (36-euro prix fixe) at Itinéraires are appetizing. Good smells assault you instantly upon your arrival.
