Our favorite addresses in the 16th arrondissement

© Clément Dorval
It is simply the chicest neighborhood in Paris, where the main attraction is admiring the luxurious buildings and private mansions, architectural gems ranging from the Second Empire to the 1970s. From Place du Trocadéro to Bois de Boulogne, passing through the village of Auteuil, the 16th arrondissement concentrates both the most beautiful gardens and the most fascinating museums, both hidden and must-see...

This is the kind of charming table you can't help but love. Relaxed in spirit, simple in both approach and appearance, with a 70s vibe featuring vintage tiles and red-and-white checkered napkins, Attabler surprises with its highly refined cuisine. Yes, here you eat and drink only the very best! At the helm of this establishment, which opened its doors in late 2023, is a trio of enthusiasts: the Le Meur brothers, Maxime and his twin Clément, already heading the gourmet restaurant Gemellus in the 7th arrondissement, along with sommelier Sébastien Perrier.

So, what can you eat here? Traditional French dishes, my friend! On the festive menu: tender leeks with vinaigrette (9 €), carrot velouté with almond and fresh goat cheese (10 €), chicken supreme with buttery cabbage (17 €), knife-cut sausage with mashed potatoes (16 €), veal blanquette (22 €). For dessert, dive into the devilish chocolate soufflé (12 €).
