At the dawn of a new year, it's time to take stock of the past 12 months, without pressure. It has to be said that 2023 was a year rich in discoveries for Sortir à Paris, particularly in terms of the capital's restaurants. Many new restaurants opened their doors this year, and delighted us in the process.

Gastronomic restaurants to indulge in for a special occasion; well-cared-for, affordable bistronomic restaurants; world cuisine, from Korea to Mexico, via Ecuador, India and Italy; not forgetting the street-food nuggets that were as numerous as they were varied this year!
