Alcazar is the newest gem along rue

Undoubtedly, the most famous of what GlobalDiner calls the
"trinity" of the sixth arrondisement. This place may hold the record as
Paris' #1 hangout in contemporary history. You name them from the twenties on, and
they hungout there. Make your reservations a week earlier and good luck getting a
table upfront.

L'Arbuci (***Jazz Club with ** dinners)
25, Rue de Buci
1.44.41.14.14
This is
a great place for a good meal and better music. The acts can be French or
international, but always good musicians. The crowd knows good jazz when it hears
it, and is generally appreciative. This place soothes the savage beast in several
ways. If you can dig it, GlobalDiner recommends it.

they have been known to do a decent lamb!
$60.00 (for two, with kir, wine & water) Make reservations a day in advance.
Metro. St.-Germain-des-Prés
Don't let the modest and unassuming
exterior on rue Mazarine fool you. La Cafeteriere is a sheltering oasis for sublime,
yet hearty northern Italian food. Best of all, its served up with the perfect
combination of good humor and casual elegance. Make your reservations a day in
advance, or for early evening. Otherwise, be prepared to wait for a table.
This place is a great change of pace. Do enjoy this one!

Great pates & seafood platters for starters (& finishers if you prefer). 3*
cassoulet & charcroute. Occasionally, a duck confit fit for a king. A
word of caution, the staff can be abrupt and intolerant of non-French speaking patrons
when they are full of regulars. Still, it's an enjoyable place with a nice jazz club
downstairs!

Hélène Darroze
7,
Rue d'Assas
01.42.22.00.11
Impressive
and cosmopolitan, Landes region (between Bordeaux and Biarritz) cuisine
featuring Bayonne ham and lots of duck. An instant classic and well deserving of its restaurant
gastronomique status. Darroze is
acclaimed for being a breath of fresh air in the closed confines of haute
cuisine. Try anything, the chicken
the fish, or fois gras ravioli with white truffles lovingly shaved over an ample
portion. Luckily, the Luxembourg Gardens are nearby to walk off your meal.
