In November 2010 French gastronomy was added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. You can fully enjoy French cuisine in Paris no matter what your budget is. Each French region has its own specialties (Auvergne, Corse, Bretagne…) and the capital reflects this variety.
And there's much more than French specialties on offer. Travellers can enjoy other tasty cuisines like Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Lebanese, North African, Greek, Spanish – the list could go on…
Decent restaurants are not concentrated in one area of the city. Very good places exist in every Parisian district.

The décor is original, bohemian and cute, and the furniture is funky. Expect to find posters on the walls and tattered old sofas. It's a good choice for a break after strolling through Le Marais. Take refuge here in winter and sip coffee or homemade hot chocolate while enjoying sweet delicacies. Pastries cost around €7.

Okay, it's not at all a 'local secret', but it's well known and recommended for very good reason. If the words 'best croissant and pain au chocolat' aren't enough to sell the place to you, then a. may god have mercy on your soul and b. their chocolate cake "Le Vollon" is pure sex in cake form.

It's probably the biggest terrace in Paris! If the weather is decent, come early to watch the sunset and sip a cocktail. It's a nice place for groups of friends, even if you don’t find a table. Although drinks are quite pricey (€8 for beers, €30+ for wine), weekend activities including sports and workshops are mostly free.

It’s not often you’ll find a place this big in the city! Its uniqueness also resides in its underground atmosphere, just like in Berlin or San Francisco. As you pass through the door, a long corridor leads you to two huge rooms where you can sit on recycled sofas and chairs with world music rocking the stereo. The entrance fee is up to you!

At the heart of it is the village bar-restaurant "La Lingerie". What used to be a laundry room is now a great place to chill, listen to live music (free entry) and have cheap drinks.

There are many Eric Kayser bakeries in Paris. Don’t hesitate to enter if you find one in another neighbourhood. The bakery on rue Monge was the very first. The prices are a little expensive, but everything is so good and the variety is so wide! It’s a true pleasure for both the eyes and taste buds.

A small cave where Parisian students (and not so students) drink wine bottles in small glasses and eat cheese while dancing all night long on Ediath Piaf, Rock'n'roll or typical Jewish songs (the DJ is an old Jewish man)!! True authentic experience and proximity guaranteed ;) Agoraphobic do NOT go there.

Many Parisians who shop in Le Marais come to rue des Rosiers to eat falafel. As it's typically Middle Eastern, sometimes people are surprised that it can be found in the heart of Paris. One falafel will set you back about €6. The queue can be long but the service is quick.

It’s a quirky place that attracts all types. Their prices are very attractive and what’s more, they serve the best quality Basque food in Paris. A pint of Basque beer will set you back €5, and the biggest salad served in a gigantic bowl is just €10. On Sundays they serve a delicious brunch for €15.

Au Thé Gourmand attracts students from nearby secondary schools who come here to drink coffee or tea after class. It’s the perfect place to stop by when you’re visiting the Latin quarter as it helps you disconnect from the noisy streets. Prices are very low for the French capital.

Most of the Menu is in the local language and it's not all about Sushi! Japanese food is much more than just the rice rolls. There are soups, noodles, dim sum etc. You can also try local drinks such as beer, sake or Matcha Tea.
