Big news, friends: our newsletter has just surpassed the 100,000 subscriber mark.
The Substack platform classed it as a best-seller and recently said that “Meg Zimbeck’s PARIS BY MOUTH has become as vital as the Michelin Guide for figuring out exactly where to get a table in Paris.”
Well I’ll be… says the Kansan in me.
To celebrate (and to thank you) I have created this Restaurant Index to include all the Paris restaurants that we’ve visited since the pandemic reopening. It was more than a little inspired by the Department of Salad’s epic recipe index.
For our index I’ve organized more than 300 restaurants by location and they’re now ranked using four categories:
GREAT - these are the restaurants you should prioritize
GOOD - these restaurants make us happy, but they’re not our top picks
FINE - these restaurants come in handy in certain situations
NOT RECOMMENDED - we did not enjoy our experience
Within these categories, the most recent visits are listed first. The date of our last meal is presented in parentheses so you can easily see how recent the information is.
As a reminder, we always visit restaurants anonymously, booking under false names and paying full price. This allows us to tell you when things are “only fine,” and we’re able to do that thanks to your paid subscriptions.
