Our 50 Favorite Restaurants
The very best restaurants in Paris, from simple to splendid
“Where should I eat in Paris?”
It’s an important question. Here are fifty answers.
This list represents our very favorite spots in Paris. We update our selection twice a year to include new openings and old favorites that are still worth your time. Thanks to your subscriptions, all our restaurant visits (52 during this period) are anonymous and fully paid.
Within each category (type of cuisine), our picks are organized by date, and you’ll find the date of our most recent visit under every photo. We’ve included a short description for each restaurant, but you can click to read our full reviews.
At the bottom of this post we’ve included a cheat sheet to help you quickly identify which restaurants are open on Sunday or Monday, which ones have outdoor seating, and which are best for vegetarians. We’ve highlighted which ones are in popular neighborhoods like Saint-Germain or Montmartre. I’ve also noted which ones to book far ahead, and where you don’t need to plan (too much) in advance.
Please continue to tell us in the comments what you’ve tried and loved, or what failed to hit the mark. We really do listen! Check out our archives to see past editions of this list, and consult our restaurant index to see our rating of more than 300 Paris restaurants.
