Alcazar

$$$, Brasserie, St-Germain-des-Prés


Fodor's Review:

When Sir Terence Conran opened this impressive 300-seat restaurant, he promised to reinvent the Parisian brasserie, and he's come close. Alcazar's mezzanine bar is famed for its DJ and, with its slick decor and skylight roof, feels more like London than the Rive Gauche. If the kitchen started out rather uncertain of what it wanted to accomplish, the food is now resolutely French with the occasional Mediterranean touch. The chef seems to have found his groove with dishes such as veal braised with morels. Lest you forget this is Conran land, there are also very good fish-and-chips (EUR 23) and Irish coffee. For dessert, it's hard to pass up the profiteroles, mille-feuille, and baba au rhum. Come for Sunday brunch and you can treat yourself to a 10-minute Shiatsu massage at a chair set up in the dining room.
