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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This restaurant is ideally located in the 11th district near the Bastille neighbourhood. You'll enjoy the typical Parisian bistro ambiance and the classic décor. There’s a large range of traditional French specialties on offer and a varied wine list. Ask for a digestive called "Patxaran" – it's great.

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.

It's probably the biggest terrace in Paris! If the weather is decent, come early to watch the sunset and sip a cocktail. It's a nice place for groups of friends, even if you don’t find a table. Although drinks are quite pricey (€8 for beers, €30+ for wine), weekend activities including sports and workshops are mostly free.

Well, the food is great, and still within the local average of 12.80 for two courses! On top of this, there is a foosball table and great happy hour specials. Come here to rub shoulders with some very cool Parisians in a setting that is quite nice but not over-the-top hipster.

You can have dinner at the restaurant and then dance salsa on the ground floor. The music is mainly salsa and Latino, though sometimes they throw reggae, tango, electro and hip hop into the mix. If you don’t eat at the restaurant, entrance is around €20 including one drink.

Bodega 64 is a real change of scenery. The first time I came here it was just for a drink, though I ended up staying three hours! First we ordered a pitcher of sangria, then some tapas. It was so delicious that we ordered another pitcher and more tapas. Finally we ordered one more round. According to me, this is the best place for tapas in Paris.
