My top picks for the best places to eat in Paris. You’ll find everything from casual bistrots & restaurants with top-notch food at affordable prices, quality raw oysters, hangover sandwiches, natural wine bars, late night industry hangouts, to street food, coffeehouses & more.
I cannot get enough of Phil Euell and Chef Eseu Lee’s stripped down import-export shop. It is one of the most exciting places to eat & drink in Paris right now for Lee’s Asian-inspired sharing plates & natural wine. Every time I go, mind, blown.
Caves à manger are fun little wine shops that serve small sharing plates with their wine. They are popular with Parisians as places to socialise during apero (short for aperitif) from 6-8:30pm before and (often) after dinner.
Because you aren’t interested in every place to eat, only the places to eat, right now… these are my top picks / short list in each of Paris’ arrondissements.
Voila! My top picks by neighbourhood that are open part of or all summer – the good news is that there are even more options than last year.
Finding restaurants open during August can be a challenge. Then, finding good restaurants that are open takes a lot of effort. But no worries, I’ve done the leg work for you. Here’s the short list.
Eating & drinking through this hip northeast arr. can’t be accomplished in a weekend, it is literally the hottest area going, especially for the natural wine scene.
If you only have 24 hours in Paris, these natural wine bars are a must. FYI that by law all wine bars must sell food with alcohol.
Although most restaurants are closed on Sunday, these options are not just good, they are great.
When I am asked by foodie travellers who want to know where to eat, right, now, this is where I send them. Up Next? 10 Paris Wine Bars not to be missed.
The million dollar question, isn’t what restaurants are open on Monday, but which good restaurants are open on Monday. #donotwasteameal
Every city has its “it” addresses where chefs, servers & wine makers blow off steam late night and on Sunday & Mondays when most places are closed.
These upbeat younger siblings have small sharing plates for a sampling of the main restaurant’s style of cooking.
