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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you walk along Canal St-Martin, you cannot miss Chez Prune. Located on the right of a canal bridge, it's a nice bistro serving quality meals at moderate prices. There are usually three or four meal choices and the menu changes daily, so you’ll never get bored of the food. The best part is the view from the terrace.
