Sola
This foodie sanctuary is where dishes like miso-lacquered foie gras or sake-glazed suckling pig—perfectly crisp on the outside and melting inside—pair traditional Japanese and French ingredients to wondrous effect. The 10-course set dinner menu (with an option to add a pairing of five glasses of wine or sake), while not cheap, offers a choice of fish or meat and finishes with some stunning confections. Shoes stay on in the tranquil half-timber dining room (where an eight-course lunch, Friday and Saturday only, still seems a relative bargain), but the vaulted room downstairs is totally traditional—and one of the loveliest in Paris.
