A collage of cream-coloured leather and dark wood, the decor at Sumai's is ultra-modern, but classy. If you wish to sample authentic Oriental food, visit this restaurant, which offers dishes, such as Sliced Salmon and Tartar with Wasabi (EUR12) and Crystallized Lamb Téréyaki (EUR23). The service is quick and the staff hospitable. The bar offers a select list of fine wines and spirits. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Burgundian bounty! |
5 Rue de Bourgogne Paris 75007 France +33 1 4551 7942 http://www.bernard-loiseau.com... |
Tante Marguerite belongs to the Bernard Loiseau chain of restaurants and serves traditional Burgundian cuisine, which attracts a high profile clientele. Right from its name - which is very common among the women of Burgundy - to its food, the restaurant reflects the culture of Burgundy. The decor is just what you'd expect of a Loiseau restaurant - elegant and definitely upscale. So if you're planning on dining here, make sure you're dressed well! Review © 2007, Wcities |

A Yiddish streak! |
41 Rue de Lille Paris 75007 France +33 1 4292 0304 http://www.letelegraphe.fr/ |
A royal blend of ornate chandeliers dangling from high ceilings, silver cutlery, spotless linen and classic French delicacies help create a fine dining experience at Le Telegraphe. While the private interior garden makes for a special feature at the restaurant, it is the 'kosher' cuisine blended with traditional French styles that one cannot help but notice. The wine list too has a few Israeli favorites among the others that are brought in from all over France. You can start with the Foie gras Raviolis, move onto the different main course meat dishes and end with a rich and toothsome dessert, such as Tatin de Poire Tiède or Fondue Chocomaniaque et Grignotage.

Treats of Thailand |
49 Quai d'Orsay Paris 75007 France +33 1 4705 6909 / +33 1 4551 5858 (Reservations) |
Aromatic and delectable Thai cuisine is what you can experience at Thiou. The décor is clearly influenced by the far-east and is a welcoming change when compared to most other restaurants. The appealing crowd comprises of people from all walks of life, including celebrities. The array of appetizers serves as a good option as you wait for the tempting main course. Try the signature dish - Crevettes Sauteed with Crisped Basil Leaves - simply delicious. Vegetarians need not get disappointed; there are treats for them too! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Near the Eiffel Tower |
79 Rue Saint Dominique Paris 75007 France +33 1 4705 4975 http://www.thoumieux.com/ |
This large bistro is pleasantly relaxed and the service is serious and attentive - qualities that have contributed to its success. The clientele consists largely of a young crowd, local families, and tourists passing by. The menu offers a number of traditional French dishes (particularly from the South-West). If you want to eat like a king, you should try the Foie Gras and the Cassoulet (bean, duck and sausage casserole). You get good value for the money ... set menus are available from around EUR13.
