Quartier Latin Food Tour - Paris

Quartier Latin Food Tour - Paris

I have lived most of my life in one of the most charming districts of Paris: The Quartier Latin. I'm eager to share my love for this unique neighborhood The Quartier Latin in Paris is a historic and vibrant district located on the left bank of the Seine River. Known for its intellectual and artistic heritage, it's characterized by narrow streets, lively cafes, universities, and iconic landmarks like the Panthéon and the Sorbonne. In this guide I'm sharing my favorite spots to eat and drink like a local: 9 coffee shops 7 bakeries 7 French restaurants 3 bars I have added as well the must-seen places of the neighborhood and my favorite shops for unique souvenirs.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Born and raised in Paris, I have lived most of my life in the French capital. I considered myself to be food obsessed, as I spend most of my free time looking for great places to eat and drink. I love sharing my favorite spots, it brings me joy to know that others will be able to have a good time as well. I’ve lived in Tokyo and visited Kyoto countless times, so I know some amazing spots to eat in both cities—especially ones that are great for tourists! In fact, I even wrote a guide featuring 160 incredible places to dine, called Délicieux. If you’re curious, you can find it on Amazon! You can find more restaurants reviews on my Instagram account alba.lostinfood.
