Our Favorite Places to Eat in Paris

Paris is filled with wonderful places to eat, but these are the restaurants, bakeries and cafés we return to again and again.

Many are just a few minutes from the apartment, making them perfect for a quick breakfast, afternoon treat or relaxed dinner close to home. Others require a short Metro ride, but we promise they are worth the journey.
