Paris — Where We Ate & Drank
We've mapped 77 restaurants and 11 bars across Paris over eight visits—from Vaisseau and Da Giuseppe to Bar Nouveau. Neo-bistros, natural wine, and 56 Michelin stars included.
We've been to Paris eight times and it still hasn't run out of corners. Our list leans neo-bistro and natural wine, with The Cambridge Public House and Bar Nouveau anchoring the cocktail side and an unreasonable number of Michelin-starred tables (56 among our saves) for a city we mostly walk drunk on bread through.
You'll find 77 restaurants here—Vaisseau, Da Giuseppe, Kitchen Ter(re)—plus 11 bars we'd return to tomorrow. April to September is the sweet spot; November has its own grey charm.
