Brimming with colour and rich materials, this smart address hits the spot thanks to glamorous staging signed by architect Florence Lopez. Extended by a long terrace rather like a garden, this chic brasserie acts like a magnet on Parisian dandies, students and nearby ministries. At the helm, Quentin de Fleuron, who won his spurs with the Costes brothers and here offers classic brasserie dishes : beef tartare, grilled octopus, chicken supreme… In the evenings, the atmosphere warms up with an array of enticing cocktails. Mon Square, 31 rue Saint Dominique, Paris 7 (01 86 64 06 06).
