Find the perfect place for a tête-à-tête over petit dej, petit gateaux and the best steak frites this side of the Seine. On the rise like a superb soufflé, authentic French fare is adding a little ooh-la-la to stalwarts and newcomers from north to south. Wake up to baguettes and brioche in the city, lunch à la Rive Gauche at Southbank, and settle in for a southside soirée. Bon ap'!
