Sometimes, in Paris, all you want is a quintessential bistro—an outstanding wine list, a steak tartare, and homemade frites. Enter Le Bon Georges. It’s just a few steps away from the Rue des Martyrs, in the ninth arrondissement. The owner, Benoit Duval-Arnould, got his start as an agricultural engineer before opening this restaurant in 2013. After the tartare, make sure you try the gratin dauphinois. There are over 2,000 wine bottles in the cellar, so you’ll find there’s nothing lacking in that department, either. —Elena Clavarino
