Our 50 Favorite Restaurants
Where to eat when Paris is chilly
Hello again! I know that many of you have been waiting for this update to our list of favorite restaurants. Thanks so much for your patience. We’re now updating this twice a year instead of quarterly, in time for cold weather (in November) and warm weather (in May).
I wanted to remove the pressure to make unnecessary changes for the sake of novelty. I didn’t want to publish a quarterly “update” that had only 1-2 changes, but I also didn’t want to boot a perfectly wonderful restaurant to make room for something less delicious.
Saying less, or saying it less often, serves to strengthen this top list. Or so I hope. Because I’m only making changes when they’re justified, I can truly say that these are my fifty favorite restaurants in Paris.
Within each category (type of cuisine), our picks are organized by date - the most recent visits are first. You’ll find the date of my most recent visit under every photo. We’ve included only a short description for each restaurant, but you can click to read our full reviews.
Please continue to tell us in the comments (or in reply to this newsletter) what you’ve tried and loved, or what failed to hit the mark. We really do listen! And check out our archives to see past editions of this list.
