A chic popular neighbourhood spot that we love to go to on the weekend and order their gigantic and super delicious brunch. 

A lively, classic neighbourhood bistro that is always a joy. Order the most memorable and dangerously yummy mousse au chocolat. 

One of our favourite restaurants in Paris, simply because the food is always yummy. It is run by two Americans, and their mouthwatering seasonal tasting menu is such a delight. Make sure have a glass of wine at their little wine bar next door before dinner. 

An extremely good tiny neighbourhood bistro, if you can even call it that. Almost impossible to get a reservation, so plan in advance, as the Michelin Star exists for a reason. Have a glass of wine before dinner at Frenchie Bar à Vins across the street. 

A modern neo-bistro with very creative but simple & forward food. It's one of the hottest places in Paris and the hardest restervation in town, so if you’re willing to splurge, order the spectacular “surprise” menu. 

Merci is the epitome of Parisian chic, a concept store brimming with curated treasures – from furniture and jewellery to fashion and books. Every purchase here is a charitable contribution. Enjoy a garden coffee or lunch at La Cantine on level -1.

A beautiful urban park where you can observe the monumentality of Paris. Run a round from Les Invalides to Grand Palais through Jardin des Tuileries over the seine and back, it's a treat. 

A trendy Italian restaurant in Musée des Arts Décoratifs overlooking the gardens of Palais du Louvre. Be sure to ask for a table upstairs or outside in Louve gardens. Don't miss the linguine with fresh clams, linguine with pesto or pasta bolognese; plus, dress to impress: dinner at Loulou is a good excuse to wear a nice pair of heels :)

This mysterious iconic rustic hotel is a place where artists haven't stopped getting together and searching for inspiration. Have a delicious lunch here after a trip to Fondation Maeght. The place has a museum-worthy art collection of 20th century masters like Chagall, Matisse, Picasso, and Calder.

What was once a bare bones car garage has been miraculously transformed into an elegant, industrial gourmet restaurant. Though we’d never say no to a cosy, intimate dinner at Hotel de Goudfazant, it’s one of the best places in town to head with a big group. Wear your loosest trousers because you won’t be able to resist ordering all of the delicious seafood on the menu.
