French seafood is particularly enjoyable when paired with champagne, and there are few places to better enjoy this pairing than Le Dôme Café on the border of the sixth and fourteenth arrondissements, where white table cloths, attentive service, and jazz music accompany oysters from Normandy and bouillabaisse. Some of the restaurant’s dishes are named after its iconic patrons from the 1920s, like Hemingway and Henry Miller. And, as Anthony Bourdain once said, it’s also home to the “the best shellfish tower in Paris.” —Elena Clavarino
