Best USA-inspired spot: Delicatessen

Cheese lovers alert: get ready to melt! Specializing in gruyere, Les Fromagivores know how to vary the pleasure of oozing cheese. At lunch, cheese is featured in homemade dishes. In the evening, the spot turns into a cheese bar where pieces fall from the sky amidst a good smell of smoked raclette... Paradise for calories for sure, but paradise nonetheless.

The most sensory: The Braille table
At La Table en Braille, the senses are celebrated. Immersed in darkness and without knowing the menu, you find yourself seated with all five senses fully awakened. Forget about the decor, presentation of the plate, or the handsome face of the server, and focus on the essentials. While the concept may seem dreamy, the result is truly unique and offers an experience as surprising as it is delightful. The best part is that the cuisine is excellent.
