Paris is the world capital city of Haute Couture and Grande Cuisine. Parisians express the idea of “Joie de vivre” in their love and passion for food, wine and beautiful things. For you, we have made an informed selection of great restaurants amongst the thousands of gourmet restaurants in Paris.
You need to book a table in almost all of those restaurants. If you wish to go to a Grand Restaurant, it is advised that you book a table few weeks or even months in advance. For other restaurants, you can book a table just a few days in advance, or even on the day.
