Lobrano, \u003ci\u003eGourmet \u003c\/i\u003emagazine’s European correspondent, has written for almost every major food and travel magazine since he became an American in Paris in 1986. Here he shares his personal selection of the city’s 102 best restaurants, each of which is portrayed in savvy, fun, lively descriptions that are not only indispensable for finding a superb meal but a pleasure to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLobrano reveals the hottest young chefs, the coziest bistros, the best buys–including those haute cuisine restaurants that are really worth the money–and the secret places Parisians love most, together with information on the most delicious dishes, ambience, clientele, and history of each restaurant. A series of delightful essays cover various aspects of dining in Paris, including “Table for One” (how to eat alone), “The Four Seasons” (the best of seasonal eating in Paris), and “Eating the Unspeakable” (learning to eat what you don’t think you like). All restaurants are keyed to helpful maps, and the book is seasoned with beautiful photographs by \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e magazine photographer Bob Peterson that will only help whet your appetite for tasting Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eHungry for Paris\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Every time I go to Paris I call Alec and ask him where to eat. Nobody else has such an intimate knowledge of what is going on in the Paris food world right this minute, and there is nobody I trust more to tell me all the latest news. Happily, Alec has written it all down in this wonderful book and now I can stop bothering him.\"\u003cb\u003e—Ruth Reichl\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\"Hungry for Paris\u003c\/i\u003e is a brilliant book with an almost fatal flaw: the writing is so enchanting you may never leave home to go to any of Alec’s favorite places. Few people know,love and appreciate Paris restaurants the way Alec does; no one writes about them better or with more charm.\"\u003cb\u003e—Dorie Greenspan\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eauthor of \u003ci\u003eBaking From My Home to Yours\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“When I was nineteen, I went to France to study, but instead, I just ate.
