1 . Paris is a city unlike any other. It is overflowing with culture, history and beauty.
While people travel to Paris to see the Louvre, climb the Eiffel Tower or see Notre-Dame, the real magic is found in the streets. To make sure you don’t miss a thing, take a moment to read through our Paris Travel Guide, where we share our favorite local restaurants.
Le Train Bleu
It’s near impossible to top the atmosphere of Le Train Bleu, a French restaurant located within the Gare de Lyon railway station. The restaurant itself is a historic monument. As you might imagine, you’ll need a reservation to dine under the hand-painted ceilings.
Chez Nanchang
It’s impossible to go wrong at Nanchang’s — everything is fresh, salty, and shareable, and the atmosphere is both fashionable and casual. Grab a few orders of skewered meat and vegetables for the table and an order of soup and enjoy the Chinese street BBQ experience — in Paris. Seating is indoors and they don’t accept reservations.
L’Avant Comptoir de la Terre
Set within Hotel Relays Saint Germain, next to the renowned Le Comptoir du Relais, is the tiny L’Avant Comptoir de la Terre, a tiny, casual, and oh-so-delicious wine bar that will keep you coming back for more. This tiny restaurant doesn’t accept reservations, so be prepared to wait.
Chez Justine
This spot delivers the authentic Parisian brasserie (啤酒店) feel — groups laughing over post work wine, couples waiting at a street-side table, and a busy bar full of the who’s who of the neighborhood. They have fantastic wood-fired pizzas, homemade lasagna, and a great happy hour.
