Paris, France 5 Day Itinerary

Paris is one of the great foodie destinations of the world, but unfortunately is home to a lot of eateries that are not worth your time. With this guide, you don't have to ever worry about having a bad meal in the French capital again. I have everything from bistrots and brasseries, a few tasting menus, bakeries, crêpes and coffee. 

With each place I have some details on the story behind it, along with some of my recommendations of what to order there. 

For the restaurants, try booking as far in advance as you can to make sure you can get a table there, as some of these places are quite popular and can be difficult to book.

Paris 101 - 3 day itinerary

Au Pied de Cochon

Opened in 1947 to feed the workers of the Halles food market in the heart of Paris' 1st arrondissement, Au Pied de Cochon hasn't really changed ever since. Initially open 24/7, they unfortunatly had to close during the pandemic for the first time in their history, but remain open until very late at night. The pork rib confit is my favourite thing here, but for the more adventurous, grilled pork's trotters is their namesake and signature dish. Some of the capital's finest French onion soup can also be found here (it is a dish that was born in this neighbourhood), alongside amazing quality oysters and escargots.  
   

The best onion soup ever, but truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Suggestion from Local Passport Family—get the onion soup!
