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.

Note that the main Berthillon boutique is often crowded. The good news is that you can find their famous ice creams at partner shops like Nicolsen Chocolatier at 112 rue Mouffetard in the 5th district, and Smiths Bakery at 12 rue de Buci in the 6th. There's also a small Berthillon stand by the Saint-Louis Bridge leading to Notre Dame.

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.

Come here for quality and to savour some unique flavours. Pierre Hermé makes original creations according to the season – in summer I'm a maniac for the vanilla and olive oil macarons, though the other pastries are also delightful. Seven macarons will set you back around €18, but your palate will be oh so grateful.

Pancakes topped with eggs, bacon, homemade Bourbon butter, and maple syrup – need I say more? Brunch is the star here with patrons lining up to get their pancake and Brûlerie de Belleville coffee fix as early as 9 am. Its location near the Canal Saint-Martin also makes for the perfect summer day.

Protected from the surrounding streets, this quiet café is a nice spot for tea. I love the hot chocolate and homemade pastries, especially the cheesecake. The portions are really huge! If you wake up late one day, it’s the perfect café for lunch at around 3–4 pm. Expect to pay around €14 for one drink and one pastry.

The space itself is super photogenic, always decorated with fresh flowers and quirky details, including the leather jacket hanging by the door with the Ob-La-Di logo and lipstick stain adorning its back. Between this, the just-off-the-beaten-path location, and the friendly staff, it's become a must-go in the Paris café scene.

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.
