When new restaurants open, we check them out. This means that we subject our stomachs and social lives to the good, the bad, and more often than not, the perfectly fine. But every once in a while, a new spot makes us feel like we stumbled into a place with air conditioning during one of the city’s summer heatwaves. When that happens, we add it here, to The Hit List.
The Hit List is your spot to find all the best new restaurants in Paris. As long as it opened within the past year and we’re still talking about it, it’s on this guide. If it’s not, well, you can figure it out for yourself. The latest addition might be a cozy new bistro. Or it might be an under-the-radar prix fixe lunch, where a few dollars will get something that’ll rattle around in your brain like a loose penny in a dryer.
