Expert Tips for Paris Restaurants
-
Fluctuart - Centre d'art urbain: "This is a an 'urban,' or contemporary, art center that lives on a barge parked along the Seine. Its location has it a stone's throw from the exquisitely beautiful Pont Alexandre III. Why does that matter? Because the rooftop outdoor dining gives you direct views not just onto the Seine, but onto this gold gilded bridge of dreams, too."
-
Le Temps des Cerises: "Here you can see an exemplary case of a neighborhood bistro that has requisitioned some of the street in order to accommodate its outdoor dining needs. It's the perfect location for it, since here we're in a very residential, Parisian little niche of a neighborhood."
-
Paris Beaubourg: "Just outside the frame here is the famous Fontaine Stravinsky where people love to gather and watch the liveliness of the Les Halles area. And of course, just a stone's throw away is the Centre Pompidou."

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.
