My mother likes to say that the way you spend New Year\u2019s Eve sets the tone for the year to come. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While that\u2019s a matter of perspective, if you consider this from an epicurean point of view, you\u2019ll want to choose your restaurants wisely. Will 2020 be full of candlelit meals, raucous group dinners with sharing plates or Michelin-starred tasting menus<\/a>?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of how you want to ring in the new year, you can\u2019t go wrong by spending the holiday in Paris. The only problem might be deciding where to eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French tradition of R\u00e9veillion de la Saint Sylvestre<\/em>, or New Year\u2019s Eve, calls for celebratory feasting, with many restaurants planning a special set menu to mark the occasion. You won\u2019t go hungry if you prefer to play things by ear. But if you\u2019d like to have your pick for both New Year\u2019s Eve and New Year\u2019s Day dining without wandering from restaurant to restaurant looking for somewhere that\u2019s both open and able to accommodate you, reservations are key. Call ahead to secure your table, or book online depending on the restaurant\u2019s preference. <\/p>\n\n\n
