**Winter 2008** **Art of the Table**
Paris 1st Opera area	Willi's Wine Bar Run by a certain Mark Williamson, this bar offers a lively upscale atmosphere as a fitting accompaniment to the wide selection of all manner of wines, many of which available by the glass. When you add the good food available, this makes it one of the more memorable wine bars on the Paris scene.

Paris 1st Pont Neuf Notre Dame, Chatelet, area	Taverne Henri-IV One of the most famous wine bars in Paris — at the point of the Ile de la Cité with a fine view of the river — where you can taste foie gras (the 'French paradox': it seems that moderate amounts are even good for the heart!) or cheese with fabulous wines such as Burgundy, Beaujolais, Bordeaux or Jurançon.	Taverne Heni IV, 13, Place du Pont Neuf, Paris 1st Phone 33 (0)1 43 54 27 90 Metro: Pont Neuf Open: Monday to Fridays ,12:00 to 22:00—Saturdays 12:00 to 16:00 Closed: Sundays
Paris 2nd Opera area	Harry's New York Bar A legendary address just a few paces from the Paris Opera—recently celebrated its 90th anniversary— Harry's Bar was made famous for its (claimed) invention of the 'Bloody Mary', 'Blue Lagoon' and the 'Side Car'. Hemingway, along with so many other Americans, came here too for cocktails (not just to the Ritz bar). Interesting piano bar downstairs too.
