With a play of light, brick walls, a chequerboard floor, furniture of sleek design, this elegant address offers a congenial atmosphere conveyed by both its decor and cuisine. The tempting dishes are orchestrated by chef Vincent Deyres who has manned the ovens of great star-rated “toques” (Alain Ducasse, Jean Darroze…). Somewhere between bistro and tradition, with Corsican flavours as a bonus, the menu unfurls irresistible dishes with delicate starters, perfectly-cooked meat and bewitching desserts such as cheesecake with Corsican lemons. Augustin, 79 rue Daguerre, Paris 14 (01 43 21 92 29).
