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.
L'As du Fallafel

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

Two years ago Wanderlust opened its doors at the Cité de la Mode overlooking the Seine. It’s a huge terrace that hosts many different events, though it’s mostly known for its clubbing scene – here international DJs play electro, house, nouveau disco and sometimes even hip-hop. Other activities include lunch, brunch, yoga, pilates and workshops.
