Julien One of the most artfully decorated dining rooms in all of Paris You can come for the atmosphere, but you needn't stay for the food. The menu is standard brasserie fare, but the execution is less than spectacular. The stunning décor transports you to a time when absinthe was all the rage, Sarah Bernhardt was the 'belle du jour' and Art Nouveau was the style 'de rigueur'. Order a Pastis, tilt your eyes to the heavens and loose yourself in the emerald-like ceiling.
