Sola

BP take: Just steps from Notre-Dame cathedral, Sola is a coveted address: one you need to book as far in advance as you can. Japanese chef Hiroki Yoshitake has earned a Michelin star for his exquisitely prepared fusion dishes (miso-glazed foie gras is a stand-out first course that lingers in memory for days afterwards). The setting inside a historic auberge is lovely, too.

12 rue de l’Hôtel Colbert, 75005. Tel: 01 43 29 59 04. www.restaurant-sola.com. Closed Sunday and Monday. Lunch tasting menu from 48 euros, dinner tasting menu from 98 euros.
