Nestling on the corner of Avenue Montaigne and the Champs Elysées, the Caffè Artcurial returns to center-stage with a formula 100% made in Italy. In smart “bistronomic” style, the menu features tasty offerings from Piedmont with essential gems such as ravioli with three kinds of stew from “Mama Lidia” and “Vitello Tonato d’Enrico”. All washed down with Italian wines and savoured in the peacefulness of the lovely winter garden. Caffé Artcurial, 7 rond-point des Champs Elysées, Paris 8 (www.caffeartcurial.fr).
