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.

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.

Two years ago Wanderlust opened its doors at the Cité de la Mode overlooking the Seine. It’s a huge terrace that hosts many different events, though it’s mostly known for its clubbing scene – here international DJs play electro, house, nouveau disco and sometimes even hip-hop. Other activities include lunch, brunch, yoga, pilates and workshops.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"Wow!" was my reaction the first time a friend brought me to this little restaurant. It's located on Canal Saint-Martin, which is the place to be when the sun is shining. At Sésame you can enjoy freshly prepared meals and great music. It’s a nice place for a hot chocolate and a chat with friends.
