Paris

Jacobine has been one of our top favorites for decades. There isn't anything here we don't like. From their onion soup or escargot to the coq au vin, roasted lamb or hot goat cheese salad, these guys pay attention to the details with eveything they make. Don't forget to try the best hot chocolate in Paris along with a pistachio raspberry tarte or a carambar (caramel) cheesecake. These guys never disappoint.

Great boulangerie on rue de Buci. Colleen tried their "Tuile Nature" which is a very simple cookie with sliced almonds in the shape of a roof tile. They have great bakeries and patisseries if you're in the neighborhood.

Great stop in St Germain if you want to be in the center of it all. Located on one of our favorite streets in St Germain (rue de Buci), get a table on the terrace and do some people-watching while trying their avocado toast. This is a vegan & vegetarian-friendly place.

A 3mn walk from Sainte Chapelle, this restaurant with an amazing view of Notre Dame is the place to have a nice lunch of the terrace and get one of their famous blended fruit juice. We tried their passion fruit & lime juice and it was amazing!

Little Café near Place St Michel in the Latin Quarter to grab a Charcuterie platter and a glass of wine after a long day of walking and sightseeing.

This old fashion bakery is known for it's award winning croissants. It's also a great place to pick up awesome awesome baguette sandwiches (like the mozerella with sun dried tomatoes).

This is a great boulangerie in Montmartre, right up the hill from the Moulin Rouge. We tried a Tigré au Nutella and it was amazing. They have a great selection of sandwiches & treats.

Popular casual bistro serving traditional French mains & desserts with house wines by the glass. They serve all the classics at a very affordable price. Try the Oeuf due Mayonnaise or the Steak Frites.

Here, you'll get the neighborhood café feeling near Pigalle in Montmartre. They have an amazing duck terrine (paté) that you don't want to miss.

A very unique shop in the Montmartre area. They have flavors like CBD, Blue Berry and Black Charcoal ice cream. This is a small shop owned by a young couple. We highly recommend this place.

This is another highly-rated all-you-can-eat restaurant in Paris near Montmartre. This is a little bit out of the way but it's worth it. Both bakeries and savory dishes are amazing.

At the Bistro du Sommelier is the place to go for a wine tasting menu. The restaurant is owned and operated by World Champion Sommelier Philippe Faure-Brac. Everyone working in the restaurant, from the hostess to the servers and chefs, are also sommeliers. You will be surrounded by people who are knowledgable and committed to enjoying all of the subtle nuaces of wine culture (in an unpretencious way).

Chez Savy is a Paris locals favorite, serving old school traditional French food. Their Oeuf Mayonaise is literally award winning. Their bone marrow appetizer will knock your socks off and their gigot de agneau (roasted baby lamb) is a top favorite. Ask to have Sebastian as your waiter. He's a Frenchman who grew up in the US and knows the best of both worlds.

This is a chic Parisian bistro just a couple of blocks away from the famous Champs Elysées. This bistro specializes in dishes from the region of Lyon, so everything is delicious.

Chocolat Illene is a must try spot in Montmartre. It's #3 on our 2022 Best Macarons in Paris list. The chocolates here are the most beautiful we've ever seen with carved wild horses, frog princes and other animals. As delicious as they look, you just need to try them.
