WHAT TO EAT IN PARIGI

Traditional Cuisine in Paris

French cuisine is rich in flavors. One of the most famous in the world, it is also highly appreciated by top chefs.

Of course, the most typical Parisian lunch spot is the famous brasserie. Here, you can enjoy a good plate of steak with Parisian-style potatoes or an entrecôte (rib steak). A selection of cheeses is also a must at the end of a meal.

Traditional French cuisine includes the classic onion soup. You will also often find escargots à la bourguignonne, prepared with parsley, garlic, and butter. As an appetizer, you can try the famous foie gras.

A meal can cost between €20 and €30. However, brasseries are not always budget-friendly. In general, you should be mindful of prices in the city, as you can quickly end up paying exorbitant amounts for lunch or dinner. Our advice is to research dining options in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises, both in terms of cost and taste.

For desserts, you should try: chouquettes, éclairs, macarons, Paris-Brest cake, and pain au chocolat. If you're looking for an exceptional éclair, we highly recommend a special place where you’ll find a wide variety of flavors: “L’éclair de génie” (14 Rue Pavée, 75004 Paris, France).

We have selected some great places where you can enjoy delicious food without breaking the bank. All of them are located in central Paris, making it easy to find the perfect dining spot for your day.

And one last thing—don’t forget to try the baguette! It’s absolutely delicious, especially in Paris!
