@lesfrenchies
This is a meat & fries French fast food. We tried the Saucisse de Montbéliard (sausage) with French fries and it was awesome. And you can totally get beer & wine here.

Bouillon Chartier
@lesfrenchies
This is the original Bouillon-style restaurant in Paris near the Opéra. Here, you'll find all the french classics at a very affordable price. If you're looking for the typical Parisian experience, this is it. But beware, there's always a long line to get in, so go there early to avoid the long wait. Try their oeuf dur mayonnaise and the steak frites with a pichet of red wine for the true experience.

Le Café du Commerce
@lesfrenchies
This is a typical 100-year-old Parisian neighborhood brasserie. This is as classic as it gets. Nothing really fancy here but great food with exciting decor. The Atrium is gorgeous. We tried the burger and profiteroles au chocolate and we weren't disappointed.
You need a reservation in this restaurant.

Caractère de Cochon
@lesfrenchies
The best Jambon-beurre sandwich we've had in Paris, Full Stop. They also sell cured meats and other kinds of sandwiches. This is a great place to pick up picnic food for lunch. This is take-out only.
Add to
Details
Maison Bergeron
@lesfrenchies
This place used to be called "Laurent B" and they have a really cool black charcoal baguette that makes amazing sandwiches. Colleen tried the Brie & Truffle Black baguette sandwich and loved it. This bakery is a few steps away from the Eiffel tower lawn.

La Grande Epicerie de Paris
@lesfrenchies
Amazing food court and stunning patisserie inside Le Bon Marché department store. It's a bit pricey but the food is excellent. Whether you're looking for a nibble for lunch or some of the best pastries you'll ever try, this is the place. There's a small park across the street to have a small picnic.

Le Petit Vendôme
@lesfrenchies
This hidden gem is a classic French bistro. They offer both sit down service and quick cheap eats from the front window. Their jambon beurre sandwiches are excellent. For sit down dining, try their charcuterie boards or beef tartare. For dessert, the pistachio creme brulee or tarte tatin.

Jacques Genin
@lesfrenchies
Jacques Genin is hands down the best chocolate in Paris (maybe the world). His shops in Le Marias and St Germain feel more like jewelry stores, and each or his creations are gems. You'll find dark and light chocolates with refined flavors, Fruit gels and caramels. Just do yourself a favor and try them.

Breizh Café
@lesfrenchies
If you want to eat a great crêpe while in Paris, this is the place. They have all kinds of savory & sweet crêpes on the menu. This location (our favorite) is in St Germain but they have plenty of locations around Paris. This is a very casual restaurant.

If you love gooey cheese, this place is for you. Les Marmottes offers an Alpine ambiance and some of the best Raclette and Fondue around. But save room for the regional desserts and after dinner drinks.

Great restaurant to have a cheese fondue near the Pompidou Center. They are known for Savoyard raclette, fondue & cheese platters. Very charming decor with stone-walled space.

Carton Paris
@lesfrenchies
This is our favorite bakery in Paris. They were rated #1 croissant in Paris for 2022. We're often in this boulangerie since Gare du Nord is across the street and that's our way home. Colleen often has a Palmier as a treat and their Paris Brest is scrumptious.

In the heart of Le Marais, just a couple of blocks from the BHV, this ice cream shop offers high-quality ice cream & frozen treats. This ice cream is what happens when a master chef decides to open an ice cream shop. Just delish!
