Fodor's Expert Review Le Dauphin
$$
Eastern Paris
Wine Bar
The avant-garde chef Inaki Aizpitarte transformed what was a dowdy café into a sleek, if chilly, all-marble watering hole (designed by Rem Koolhaus) for late-night cuisinistas. Honing his ever-iconoclastic take on tapas, the dishes served here are a great way to get an idea of what all the fuss is about. Dishes are small, decently priced, and meant to be shared to maximize exposure to the food.
