My wife and I just returned from a week in Paris. We ate at four restaurants on your recent top 50 lists: Oktobre, Semilla, Alliance and Mer & Coquillage. Oktobre and Semilla were also recommended by the concierge at our Hotel Pont Royale. They were wonderful.
Our last night's dinner was at Alliance. It matches your great review. The maitre d', Sean, sets an extraordinary tone of perfect service with a sense of humor.
We were somewhat disappointed at M&C. Our young woman server was great but the main fish courses were only OK; especially for the price.
HELP! Hello. I’m new to Substack and not being terribly social media/blogger savvy YET trying to figure how to subscribe to Meg’s blog. I’m a foodie and trying to get the top restaurant lists before heading to Paris later this month.
Thanks for responding Laurie - I hadn't seen this comment come in. Jacqueline I hope you got it sorted! Feel free to email me at parisbymouthnewsletter@gmail.com if you're still having trouble.
Hi Kathleen! The late night spot near the Louvre is Chez Denise. You could also try Au Pied du Cochon (it's been a looooong time since I've been there).
Meg, we went on a food tour with Marion on Monday and had the BEST time! What a gem she is. I so appreciate the subscription with the tour purchase. What would be helpful is if PbM would list the restaurants by neighborhood. It is our first time here and have to look up the address of each restaurant to see how close it is to our hotel. We are walking or taking the metro everywhere and have to be planful. Thank you for taking my suggestion!
Hi Kristina! It's a great suggestion and I promise I'm working on it! We hope to have every restaurant we've reviewed in the last 5 years organized in this way by the end of the year.
I'm so glad you had a great tour with Marion! Thanks for joining us.
I've broken the recommendations down into categories and then ranked them within these categories, so what's at the top of each list is going to be my favorite. You can decide what sort of style and price point you're interested in, and if you have questions from there I'm happy to help you narrow it down.
Absolutely want to know what you do and do not like. Maybe include specifics if you can about whether it's the food OR the service? Sometimes food can be divine but is spoiled by terrible service.

Is there anywhere to eat at around 11pm near the Louvre or Palais Royal?

If it’s any help, the last digit of the ZIP code tells you the arrondissement.

1 night in Paris, a fun restaurant with a great vibe. Any suggestions
Hi Fabian! I'd start by reading our 50 Favorites for Fall post here: https://parisbymouth.substack.com/p/paris-restaurants-fall-2023

Any recommendations for family restaurants that are kid friendly?
Hi Cynthia!
I'm sorry but that's not our focus or expertise. If you search on Google there are quite a few resources that propose some suggestions.

Hi Harriet - I went last month and really loved it!
