Harry’s New York Bar

This legendary watering hole opened in 1911 and many an ex-pat found inspiration here, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and George Gershwin, who reportedly envisioned his An American in Paris orchestral work over a few drinks here. It still draws a lively American crowd, who come both for nostalgia and some of the best martini cocktails in town.
Havanita

A loud Cuban bar-restaurant. Come here for ambience rather than the food.
Haynes

American restaurant-bar, with loud music and Mexican food like chilli con carne.
Il Cortile

Italian specialities, such as veal with sage and strawberry soup, are served on a lovely patio in summer
Isami

One of the best Japanese restaurants in the city, but tiny so book ahead. Good choice of sushi.
Jacques Mélac Bar

A gregarious wine bar off the beaten track and full of character, with a rustic beamed ceiling hung with country hams and a vine growing around the walls. The moustached owner from Auvergne is an enthusiastic wine lover and aims to please with his reasonably priced cellar. Closed in August.
Jamin

If you don’t mind what you eat, go for the no-choice menu as it can halve the price of your meal. If you choose à la carte instead, try fricassé of lobster with dried cherry sauce.
Jo Goldenberg

This Jewish deli-restaurant serves dishes such as chicken soup, chopped liver and potato latkes .
Joe Allen Restaurant

A great brunch, and for lunch and dinner a mixed French/US menu is served.
La Bastide Odéon

A taste of Provence, with rich and hearty dishes. Try risotto with scallops.
