A Guide to Paris Restaurant Guides? Yes

Paris has a dizzying array of things to do. Here are the best Paris Restaurant Guides


When planning a trip to Paris, you must be choosy — you can’t do it all. And of course you would prefer to avoid touristy restaurants and bars in favor of where the locals are…when possible (not really going to happen near the Eiffel Tower…)

So we have rounded up the best guides to Paris dining — from fancy places for a special blowout to ‘cheap and chic’ spots (according to PARIS DEFINED MAGAZINE) where one can get the sit down experience at breathable prices.

Our top picks for Paris Restaurant Guides:

  • Le Fooding — French locals let you in on what they now
  • Paris Defined Magazine — ‘local raconteurs’ dish on their favorite restaurants in every category, plus bars, bakeries and … even cabarets.
  • Messy Nessy Chic – you’ll have to pay for it, but why not? Invest in having someone who knows tell you where to go.


Paris local food writers spend their time eating their way through the City of Light so you don’t have to. But do it anyway. Just start with their expert opinions to avoid a disappointing dinner.
