holiday time means chowing time. why stop now? get divine with deneuve, go for guillaume and be hungry like the wolf with these december resto picks:


wolf down.
minimalist meets deco arts at le saut du loup (pictured). chow down on chef pascal bernier's warm foie gras with szechuan pepper. how 'bout the cappuccino of potatoes and truffles? the black and white dining room is the perf backdrop for the lush green tuilleries behind it. now open. musée de arts decoratifs. 107 rue de rivoli. near rue de l'echelle, 1e. 01.42.25.49.55. www.lesautduloup.com


gogo guillaume.
hidden in the northern marais, guillaume is the perfect mix of food and art. dishes like tomato tart tartin and mango soup with cactus ice decorate the tables in this three-story urban loft. for dessert? check out the monthly photo show on the top floor. now open. 32 rue de picardie. at rue bretagne, 3e. 01.44.54.20.60.


saint catherine.
the divine deneuve has redecorated her fave paris movie palace, the pantheon. along with top paris designer christian sapet, they've styled the best looking tea salon and café on the left bank. surround yourself with vintage furniture and paparazzi photos while reading up on new wave cinema. now open. 13 rue victor-cousin. near rue soufflot, 5e. 01.56.24.88.80.


toujours toustem.

female super star chef hélène darroze just opened her spin-off bistro toustem. it means "always" in her native southwestern french dialect, and rightly so. the nouvelle basque food is toustem delish. enjoy it in a colorful contemporary dining room housed in a historic mansion. now open.12 rue de l'hôtel colbert. at quai de montebello, 5e. 01.40.51.99.87.


26 for 26.
the 26-year-old chef julien duboué at restaurant alfaria is waking up the sleepy 15th arrondissement. his three-course menu (€26) is gaining popularity from french foodies. classic french southwest-inspired cuisine like apple boudin noir and duck breast with fig and balsamic vinegar will make you a follower. now open.15 rue desnouettes. at rue de langeac, 15e. 01.48.56.15.36.
