Best Authentic Restaurants in Batignolles

This was a perfect spot for us to have a very special birthday celebration for my mom. The view of the Eiffel Tower, the creative and delicious drinks delivered by the mixologist himself, the mouthwatering food (scallops and swordfish - delish!), the best dessert we’ve had in Paris, and personal firecrackers with a candle and joyous singing…I cannot say enough about this place. Nader was so incredibly lovely and took very good care of us all evening, including taking us outside on the terrace to be our personal photographer. I very much hope to come back in the future!

Incredible restaurant /hang out spot. The hospitality at the restaurant was warming and welcoming. We truly felt at home and would return here in a heart beat.

Solo dining can feel a little odd but I was looked after by Arthur who made me feel very welcome. Chatty, friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. Good portions, well cooked and very good value. Would visit again.

A very last minute booking after a Seine river cruise, but what a find. Food was excellent, one of the best Italian meals that we have had anywhere. Quite pricey, but we felt that it was worth the money. Would definitely go back if in Paris again. The main photo makes it look a bit like a canteen, but it is really not like that, it is lovely.

I am an absolute sucker for a gorgeous dish, so I decided to book myself a table at ANONA to cap off a two week trip through the Balkans. I arrived thirty minutes early, was seated promptly by an extremely welcoming maître de, and was left to settle in with my book while the bartender crafted me a cocktail based on my favourite liquor (whiskey) and desired tasting notes (a bit sweet, something fruity and unique). Appropriately enough I was reading “Eat a Peach” by chef David Chang and had landed on a passage where he recalled a family meal with chefs of different tongues and how the element of not fully knowing what he was eating enriched his experience. He was absolutely correct. Though the wait staff (by my count I was served by maybe 5 or 6 different staff members) did their best to cater to my monolingual ignorance, I didn’t always catch the full descriptions of the incredible six courses that were served to me. There were sea water emulsions, roe, gorgeous proteins, intricately composed savoury sorbets, and so many local flavours that married expertly with the varied textures and temperatures that cohesively came together in an expertly crafted meal. There were some dishes I favoured over others but I believe for the price and quality of the food, let alone the experience, I would absolutely recommend ANONA. On top of a unique chefs menu, the restaurant itself is pristine and the staff are incredibly attentive and professional. I did not go more than five minutes without extending thanks to someone for excellent service. Well done.
