The Most Affordable Michelin Restaurants in Paris, France

An extensive wine list and high-quality ingredients mark this Michelin-recommended restaurant out from the rest. The beef and vegetables come directly from the family farm in the Limousin. Garance is the brainchild of dynamic duo chef Guillaume Iskandar and sommelier Guillaume Muller, the latter of whom trained under Alain Passard at his three-star restaurant, Arpège. It’s tucked away in the 7th arrondissement near Les Invalides. Hearty, reasonably priced mains include garlic snow peas and turbot with rhubarb.

When Lebanese chef Alan Geeam first came to Paris at 24 years old, he found himself sleeping on the streets and washing dishes to make a living. Fast forward two decades and his namesake Michelin-star restaurant, which sits just a few blocks south of the Arc de Triomphe, attracts the finest palates in the city. Expect sleek monochrome interiors and inventive Middle Eastern cuisine. Dishes change with the seasons, but past standouts include langoustine baked with blood orange and sumac, cured trout wrapped in sweet potato and, for dessert, crunchy cocoa beans with muscovado ice cream.

Dominique Bouchet lies just a short walk from Parc Monceau, headed up by one of the most revered chefs in Paris. Refined French techniques marry country-style cooking at this Michelin-star eatery. Mains include a seven-hour simmered leg of lamb in a red wine sauce and ris de veau (sweetbread) served with green asparagus. Its contemporary interior is both chic and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a long lunch with friends over a bottle (or three) of French wine.
