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.

Aside from the cheap drinks, O Paris also hosts live music every Sunday afternoon and does excellent brunches. The local area is really nice to visit and explore too, with the surrounding small streets filled with little boutiques and ateliers.

You aren’t getting your classic Eiffel Tower view here – but you will see Montmartre surrounded by typical Parisian rooftops, which is just as impressive. Their restaurant, one floor down, is another star with its “carte blanche” menu at €48 that changes daily (meaning each dish is a surprise). I tried it out and enjoyed every single minute of it.

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.

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!

You can come here to eat and drink at the café-canteen, visit a urban farm, ask for advice or repair things in the workshop Chez REné, or just chill and enjoy a wide range of events. It's an ideal spot to relax after vintage shopping at the famous flea market nearby.

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.

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.

As it served as an enormous wine marketplace for more than a century, this place is full of history. The white stone wine storehouses of the "Cour St Emilion" are reminiscent of this era. For architecture lovers, you must see the buildings by renowned architects.

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.

The interiors are awe-inspiring, the food and drinks are delicious (though a bit pricey at times), there’s always new geeky art lining the hallways, and every now and then a local artist or director stops by for a signing session or to talk about their new project. If none of this convinces you, maybe the arcade table with classic games will.

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.

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.

With a toaster on your table and a host of sauces at your disposal, it feels as if you’re in a genuine American diner. A pleasant way to start the day is to order their delicious homemade pancakes (ask for the pancake of the day)! Their burgers are nice too, though I'm more fond of the €8 Burrito.
