I posted this question on Fodor’s and it was suggested I post here as well because of the wealth of info on HO. I’ve scoured some old posts and great extensive past trip reports but was wondering if there were some recent recommendations.
“I’ve finished most reservations of “must visit” restaurants for upcoming trip but am interested in bistros and more casual neighborhood type options. I understand food is highly subjective but would love suggestions of places that folks found and really enjoyed.
Staying in the 1st but open to Marais, St. Germain; doesn’t have to be traditional French food.
TIA”
To give advices, it’s better you come up with a selection of places that interested you and asked for opinions. There are quite a lot new restaurants reviews in here.
Thank you for the welcome, naf.
We are staying for over a month so already have a number of places on the books. Repeat visits to some: Alliance, Alain Ducasse, Boutary, Semilla, Le Christine. New for us: Alleno, Pierre Gagnaire, Omar Dhiab, Odette, Poulette, Frenchie, Aldehyde, Grand Brasserie, Jeanne Aimee, Mori Venice. All I can think of right now…
Looking for more casual options to add in. Appreciate any new recs. Thanks.
Casual places with great food: Dilia, Baillotte, Eels, Restaurant 975, Juveniles (lots of Yanks, although well-behaved ones generally), Café du Coin (for lunch) and Café des Ministères, to name a few.
And don’t forget some of the old wonderful stand-bys, like Les Arlots in the 9th, La Fontaine de Mars in the 7th and Benoît in the 4th.
I for one would not spend a month in Paris without visiting Amâlia in the 11th, Vaisseau in the 11th, Sourire (restaurant not tapas place) in the 13th, A Lea in the 18th and Sadarnac in the 20th. But these are not really bistros.
