Table by Bruno Verjus, Paris

A chef of many hats: Bruno Verjus, Table’s 65-year-old chef-patron, doesn’t only look a little like the grinning Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, but also had many lives before opening his restaurant a decade ago: medical student, entrepreneur in China, photographer, author, radio commentator, even food critic. His motto? “Our food choices shape our world.”

What’s it like inside? Table (pronounced in the French way) features a long counter designed like a wave that creates private nooks, plus an open kitchen. You can follow every gesture, see every plating, including the Colours of the Day – a daily changing dish of the most seasonal herbs and vegetables – and witness how Verjus serves line-caught monkfish torched with bay leaves, or prepares a donburi dish with blonde lentils with pig’s ear in a crab broth.
