Georges. The Costes brothers, emperors of Paris' cool restaurant and bistro scene, have scored big with this one. Their "Georges" (as in Georges Pompidou), sits at the top of the musem of the same name. The view is the most wonderful, poetic and extravagant from anywhere in the city. The food is not haute cuisine but, as always with the Costes bros, the quality is impeccable and the service idem: club sandwiches, fish, tomatoes-mozzarella.
Located on 6th floor of the Pompidou Center. Tel:01 44 78 47 99. Open daily except Tues.,

Musée Jacquemard-André. The residence of the 19th century banker and his painter wife, both avid collectors, is a a sort of super Frick collection. The museum is truly one of the most enchanting place in Paris. The restaurant has a gigantic Tiepolo fresco on the ceiling and huge Gobelins tapestries on the wall, representing the story of the Greek hero of the War of Troy, Achilles. You will think you have been transported to Florence. Great salads. At tea time, try the scones and the hot Viennese chocolate.
