Places to eat in Paris

Eating local food is one of the big pleasures during the trip. So here is what Irina Bouamrirene recommends to visit in Paris

✳️<Savory pleasures>

  • Brooklyn Pizzas

I love Italian food. And there is some very tasty Italian food here. The atmosphere is nice and it’s next to Bastille, which makes it even nicer. The menu is very funny, which just adds something to the 7€ Margherita!

Address : 33 bd Beaumarchais, 75003 Paris, France

  • La Felicitá

La Felicitá features several restaurants in one. Whether you like pizzas, salads, pasta, just coffee, or tasty cocktails: you will find what you are looking for here. It’s very crowded (for a reason) at both lunch and dinner time, so make sure you arrive early.

Address : 5 Rue Eugène Freyssinet, 75013 Paris, France

  • Rue Sainte-Anne

Between the Opéra Garnier and the Louvre, this street is very famous for being THE place of all good East-Asian food. For me, there’s one place that stands out:

Naniwa-Ya Tasty Japanese food: I always go there and get more or less the same thing, and I’m never disappointed or bored!

Address : 11 Rue Sainte-Anne, 75001 Paris, France

✳️<Fore more sweetness in your life>

  • Glaces Bachi

Ice cream lovers? **If you like pistachios and orange blossom water, this is your place. Right in front of the Centre Pompidou, in the very center of Paris, enjoy some very instagramable Lebanese ice creams. A bit expensive, but totally worth it.

Address : 58 Rue Rambuteau, 75003 Paris, France

  • Glaces Berthillon

My mom used to tell me these were the best ice creams in Paris. Still expensive, but the place is super nice.

Address : 31 rue saint louis en l’ile, 75004 Paris, France

  • Season

Fans of brunch and pancakes, I’m talking to you! They make fat tough pancakes. It’s delicious. That’s it. The location is also quite nice and the restaurant itself is quite comfy, located between République and the Marais.

Address : 1 Rue Charles-François Dupuis, 75003 Paris, France

  • Holybelly 5

Another one for brunch lovers, quite different but a good pancake-maple syrup combination to start the day on a good note. The queue on the weekends is quite long, so I recommend going on working days if possible!

Address : 5 Rue Lucien Sampaix, 75010 Paris, France

  • La Durée

If you visit Paris, Don’t miss the chance to have macaron. There are some popular places for macarons in Paris and La Durée is one of them. you can enjoy the classic style of macarons.

Address : 75 Av. des Champs-Élysées, Paris, France

  • Pierre Hermé

It is another place to have delicious macaron. Famous french pastry chef and chocolatier, Pierre Hermé runs this shop. you can taste the various flavors of macarons here.

Address : 133 Av. des Champs-Élysées , Paris, France

Paris cafes

What image comes up to your mind at first about Paris?

Maybe having a coffee seeing Eiffel Tower? or cozy cafes on the corner of the street?

This is not a dream anymore. Let’s see local cafes recommended by Irina Bouamrirene and local Parisienne Stella and Manon from the @thenavyapartment

  1. La Cité Audacieuse

Very near the Luxembourg Gardens (Latin Quarter, student district, best district), you have this peaceful place with the Café Mona, which is located in an old primary school. You can take your coffee or something to eat in the schoolyard. Plus, it is very cheap (especially for Paris). To make it even better, the place is dedicated to Feminism: there are feminist bookshelves so that you can read something while enjoying your drink. Everything is thought to be in line with the place’s values: for example, the beer comes from a female-directed brewery. I’m gonna stop there but you should definitely try it!

Address: 9 Rue de Vaugirard, 75006 Paris, France

2. Café Tabac

This café is located in Montmartre, which is also a district you should visit for sure. It might be the most Frenchy/cliché Parisian experience you can have. Here are some pictures for you to form your own opinion haha!

Address: 1bis Rue Ravignan, 75018 Paris, France

3. Brasserie Dubillot

I couldn’t make this list without a brasserie! This brasserie is very typical of Paris, and at the same time really fancy! Near Châtelet, you can take a café allongé in this beautiful place. A bit expensive, like real Parisian brasseries!

Address: 222 Rue Saint-Denis, 75002 Paris, France

4. Merci Paris: Used Books Coffee shop

Better known as a concept store, Merci Paris is also a coffee shop/restaurant filled with used books! This part of a bookshop and restaurant is more stylish than other parts of the Merci. Moreover, sometimes you can buy these books in a coffee shop. This is the true heaven for those who want to dive into the world of reading.

Address: 111 boulevard Beaumarchais Paris, France

5. Peonies Paris

This is one of the favorite places that true Parisienne Manon recommends. Peonies is a small coffee shop with perfect decoration, delicious coffee, and also flowers!

Address: 81 rue du Faubourg Saint Denis Paris, France

6. Make My Lemonade

Make My Lemonade is a blog by Lisa Gachet. Now, it works as a clothes brand, a beautiful boutique shop at Canal Saint Martin in Paris. We can find collections, selections of amazing jewelry (accessories, decorations, postcards), DIY workshop, coffee, and a full of positive vibrant energy with color.

7. ICI LIBRAIRIE

La Librairie ICI is the biggest and independent bookshop in Paris. This is one of the Manon and Stella’s top choices for buying a new book as well. Of course, you can stop by for a coffee!

Address: 25 boulevard Poissonnière Paris, France

8. The Hoxton

This will be always the best Parisienne coffee shop on my list. The Hoxton is next to Sentier station in Paris and you can discover really cool coffee shops and restaurants inside. The heaven of peace in Paris is welcoming you.

9. Passager CAFÉ

Next to station Bastille, the venue is really cool with amazing coffee and brunches!

Address: 107 Avenue Ledru-Rollin, 75011 Paris, France

10. Cafe Kitsune

Cafe Kitsune is situated in the garden of Palais Royal. Soon they will open their next cafe kitsune in Paris and you can get a “carte fidelite” as well. Matcha Latte at Cafe Kitsune is strongly recommended. The coffee shop is one part of the brand, “Maison Kitsune.”

Address: 107 Avenue Ledru-Rollin, 75011 Paris, France
