Dining out should be fun, relaxing and never, never stressful. Whether a 3-star restaurant or a neighborhood bistro, there should always be an excellent rapport qualité prix—a positive relationship between price and quality.

A 20-euro lunch can be perfectly enjoyable and a 200-euro meal can be a nightmare. At a 3-star I expect the server to know that I want my water glass filled before I do, and at a bistro du coin, I want the meal that Melvyn Douglas and Greta Garbo had in "Ninotchka"—as good as grandma’s cooking in an atmosphere of conviviality.

Cold, intimidating, haughty service is never to be tolerated. A warm welcome, attention to your needs and special requests are essential. It is in that spirit that I have selected 50 restaurants of varying styles and price ranges for your Paris visits. Bon appétit!
