3 Best Restaurants in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, Side Trips from Paris

Freshness is the name of the game at this popular Japanese eatery near the Passerelle Saint-Nicolas. Though the interior is pleasantly minimal, the food is the focus here: generous, attractively presented plates of market-fresh sushi and sashimi along with a range of hot dishes: tempura, udon noodles, miso soup, and an excellent selection of saki.

Hands down the town's most popular restaurant, O'Bistronome shines in every detail, from excellent service to classic French cooking. Sophisticated dishes like housemade foie gras, roast cod with caramelized leeks, or confit de canard share the menu with more hearty fare: buttery angus beef with a side of perfectly crisp frites. Try the raspberry panna cotta or chocolate macarons as a fitting end to a satisfying meal. The prix-fixe dinner menu (€29) is an excellent value.

On any given night this casual restaurant, close to city hall and the park, is crowded with locals sharing generous plates of Lebanese mezze: a traditional combination of five small appetizers—served in vegetarian or meat versions—that can suffice for a meal, but you won't want to stop there. Dishes like eggplant with peppers and walnuts, grilled lamb with cumin and yogurt, and spiced chicken kebabs, not to mention a range of sinful desserts perfumed with orange-flower water are all reasonably priced and served with a smile.
