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.

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.

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.

Located in an awesome spot at the top of the Parc de Belleville with a large terrasse, this cafe is a top place to go to on sunny days. The terrasse provides a great view of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower, and drinks are reasonably priced.

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.

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.

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.

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!

While I have nothing against the famous Ladurée macarons, when I first tasted Pierre Hermé macarons I immediately became addicted to this brand. Which brand is best is a hot topic amongst Parisians. I advise you to try both and then pick a side. I’d be very curious to know your opinion!

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.

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.

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.

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.
