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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dubbed “chic fast food,” Big Fernand is known for their use of quality ingredients, like meats & cheeses made in France and homemade fries – or “fernandines” – garnished with a secret seasoning. Opt for the popular Le Bartholomé burger topped with bacon, raclette cheese, fresh herbs, caramelized onions, and special house sauces on an artisanal bun.
