Touted as one of the best restaurants in Paris, the unpretentious interior at Le Chateaubriand is countered with an impressive menu. With daily-changing offerings featuring whatever ingredients the team can source from the market that day teamed with techniques ranging from classic French right through to Asian and South American, this low-key but seriously modish haunt, just steps from Paris’ Goncourt metro, allows guests to book two weeks in advance for the first sitting or try their luck by queueing for a table from 9.30pm onwards.
