Founded 1894 as a foie-gras wholesaler to Paris's grand restaurants, Le Comptoir de la Gastronomie added the dining room in 1990 and never looked back. The Art-Nouveau façade is classified, the room behind it tiny — twenty covers, mosaic floor, brass fittings — and the menu is unmoved Southwest French: foie gras three ways (poêlé, terrine, ravioli), cassoulet de Castelnaudary, magret de canard, escargots, French onion soup. Adjacent épicerie sells the same charcuterie to take home. Michelin Guide-listed, repeatedly cited as Paris's best foie gras address. The Halles institution Istanbul visitors who want serious Southwest cooking — not the tourist version — should reserve.

Editor's Tip

1894 institution, Art-Nouveau classified façade, foie gras most Paris locals will tell you is the city's best.
