Expert Tips for Paris Restaurants

  • #

    Boneshaker Doughnuts: "These doughnuts are vegan, by the way. Boneshaker uses non-hydrogenated vegetable fats and no chemical additives so, if you can believe it, they are guilt-free, as well as cruelty-free, doughnuts. And they come in flavors such as Sweet Virginia and Hoppy Days, in other words, sugary, doughy bliss."

    Restaurant Sylvestre Wahid: "For a short time, in honor of spring in Paris, this one-of-a-kind restaurant is offering an extraordinary invitation to bring a guest with you when you dine here. This will certainly be one of the best 2star Michelin meals you will ever have in Paris. From the wines served to the dishes exquisitely prepared. This is one of those meals you will still be talking about next Valentine's Day."

    Rivie Restaurant and Brasserie: "The lobby of the hotel in which this restaurant is located serves as a cafe. I therefore recommend that you take your after-lunch coffee (an inescapable tradition in France) by stepping out of the restaurant and into this delightful cafe area. It is a great way to relax after the meal and of course participate in that most entertaining of pastimes, people watching!"

About Paris Restaurants

Paris, the grande dame of the world’s culinary destinations, still holds its own with nearly as many three-star restaurants in this French capital (10) as there are in all of North America (12). But even with this notoriety, the French culture of culinary excellence does not rest on its laurels, not even after receiving, in 2010, the distinction of UNESCO World Heritage Classification for its cuisine.

The most distinguished chefs in Paris  regularly challenge this culinary culture. Dining in their establishments is to bear witness to this re-envisioning of the pillars of French cuisine, whether it be fresh alchemic recipes for sauces, a brand new way to present charcuterie, an evolution of molecular gastronomy, or even a simple and delicious way to re-imagine an affordable set menu for the business lunch crowd.

So if you enjoy good food, but don’t necessarily have the time to spend hours researching a Parisian chef’s philosophy and storied career, have no fear. This list is one I’ve curated to extract sure bets so that you can be confident you’ll come out a winner. I’ve also culled from several price categories, so whatever your budget, you will be sure to experience an authentic, outstanding meal while in Paris.
