Milagro

Tucked away in Paris’s elegant 7th arrondissement, just a stone’s throw from the Eiffel Tower, Milagro occupies that sweet spot between refined fine dining and relaxed bistro atmosphere. This isn’t your typical French establishment—chef brings an unexpected New Mexican influence to classic techniques, creating dishes that feel both familiar and excitingly fresh.

The menu reads like a love letter to bold flavors executed with finesse. The fish of the day arrives crowned with crispy corn nuts, swimming in a vibrant leche de tigre that wakes up your palate. The rack of lamb gets a gentle kiss of hatch chile, enough to intrigue without overwhelming the beautiful meat. Vegetarians, who often find themselves relegated to an afterthought salad at Parisian restaurants, will discover thoughtful, satisfying options here—the roasted celery root with its curry-cream sauce, capers, and fresh herbs stands proudly alongside any meat dish.

The dining room transforms throughout the day thanks to an atrium-like façade that floods the space with natural light, making lunch the prime time to visit. And speaking of lunch, the two- and three-course prix fixe menus hover around €27-€30—an almost miraculous price for cooking this accomplished in this neighborhood.

Whether you’re traveling with a group, looking for a vegetarian-friendly spot that doesn’t compromise on creativity, or simply want to experience French cuisine through a slightly different lens, Milagro delivers. It’s the kind of restaurant where eating this well, for this price, feels like stumbling onto a genuine secret.
