360
360's three-course prix fixe (around US$25 at press time) is a steal, and the owner will talk your ear off about which organic or biodynamic wine you should order with the veal tongue confit with pickled radishes and cornichon, or the steamed PEI mussels in thai curry, or even the red wine braised short ribe with oil cured black olives, smoked bacon and orange zest, sautéed kale and penne pasta.

Daniel
So few things live up to their hype once - it's rare to see a place that over time continues to surpass its own excellent reputation. Daniel Boulod's eponymous eatery is spacious and gracious, the food both delicate and hearty. But it's the friendliness of the staff that adds the final, special touch.If you can't get a reservation, consider Cafe Boloud around the corner or DB Bistro Moderne for a different, but also stellar Boloud meal.

Eleven Madison Park
An art deco wonder often overlooked in this star-studded town, Eleven Madison Park is welcoming enough to bring children into fine dining, and delicious enough to please even the most discerning diner. Dishes include muscovy duck with honey sauce, wild salmon with horseradish crust and fennel risotto, halibut mi-cuit with carrots, and seasonal surprises.
-
Fleur de Sel
With the sea-scented aura of Brittany, where chef Cyril Renaud was born and raised, Fleur de Sel is a sensuous delight. Extensive wine choices and daily, seasonal dishes add depth and originality to the menu. Expect braised rabbit leg, sautéed fluke, almond-crusted halibut and a gorgeous ganache for dessert.

L'atelier De Joel Robuchon
If you've eaten at any of Robuchon's celebrated restaurants in Paris, Tokyo, London or Las Vegas, you know what to expect - a smorgasbord of flavors in tiny bites. Taking small plates and omakase to a whole new level, L'Atelier's frog legs croquettes, hangar steak, caramelized free-range quail stuffed with foie gras, served with potato puree, and lychee desserts are divine. Sit at the counter, if you can.

Mas
Chef Galen Zamarra draws heavily from the South of France (in old Provencal a 'mas' is a traditional stone farmhouse), from the solid and ornate oak front door to the earthy menu featuring beau soleil oysters, braised ribs, flying pig pork belly and wild nettle risotto. Great also for late-night dining.
-
Paradou
The hydrangea-heavy garden out the back is a mini-miracle in springtime and the perfect place for buckwheat crepes, panini and grilled fish dishes. The wine list is stellar, with plenty of affordable options and by-the-glass pours served in individual mini-carafes.
-
Pastis
Yes, it's crowded and yes, most New Yorkers consider the 'buzz' gone from Pastis, although a few still nip in for early-morning coffee. It may no longer be as trendy as it was, but that's fine - it's still a comfort-food bistro for the ages, a bit of working-class Paris brought back to life with skirt steak, fried artichokes and hearty glazed duck dishes that are not super fancy, but do hit the spot.
