6 New York

6 New York restaurant in Paris is a chic, minimalist eaterie with a splendid view of the Eiffel Tower, surely one of the most romantic sights on the planet. This elegant restaurant is harmoniously designed in modern style with parquet floors, indirect lighting, bright neutral colour palette, and beautifully-presented plates. Much-admired chef Jerome Gangneux, formerly of Apicius, creates innovative cuisine of the moment, both light and rich, in dishes like calf's head carpaccio, crab and avocado charlotte with curry oil, Dublin Bay prawn pizzaleta with spinach sprouts and acid cream, all changing with the seasons. The intelligent wine carte includes both great vintages to 'discovery wines' worth exploring. 6 New York is a favourite of politicians, artists, Arab princes and well-heeled locals.
