Olivier Magne received meilleur ouvrier de France 2015 for his much-coveted viennoiserie and breads. I love their dark bread (see my mark on their martyrs location) and their brioche à la coupe is divine (citron confit / cassis). Photo via marionadecouvert. Closed tuesdays.

Good (though pricey) coffee from Round Hill Roastery. A nice option to have in the neighbourhood.

Terrific, full-flavored little scoops of ice cream in a variety of seasonal flavors. The agenaise (armagnac and prune) is indeed incredible. Do make sure to visit here, at their original location.
Classic gelato with a variety of flavors. Try dark chocolate or pineapple basil. Also, go straight to the source. Accept no imitations or resellers
Incredible new patisserie. Cara-damia cake is maybe my favorite ever.
New place, bowls (what appears to be acai and something like poke). Want to try. Looks fresh & healthy
Simple wine simple food.
Fabulous seafood based sister restaurant to Septime. No reservations, open late/Sundays. Lively ambiance
Italian. Pastas. Exquisite.

Intimate tasting menu concept with dishes that progress in finesse as they do with course. I recommend. Later savory courses were outstanding.

Upscale Asian Street Food. Had some stellar seafood here. Service a little lacking but ambiance at counter is great. Only open evenings except Saturday and Sunday brunch. Largely tasting menu but brunch is a la carte.
Mauro Colagreco Paris restaurant. High priced (except set lunch menu) but exceptional. Try the scallops w caviar.
Great little cafe in palais royale. Matcha latte is deeeelish. They have almond milk (always worth noting in paris!)
Dropped in for solo dinner at the counter and was not disappointed. Fried chicken and green beans were standouts! Lunch is also very well priced and excellent.
Incredible vaulted ceiling, striking streetlamps, and a dramatic entrance on many levels.
Beautiful classic French metro stop
Moby told me it's his favorite museum in Paris so I guess that's worth something. Want to go. All medieval things!
Excellent coffee and great atmosphere. Nice to finally have a decent option in this area.
Bicycle/coffee focused cafe. Run by aussies.
All things paper, lovely little shop
Crepes!
Creative, fresh, perfect buckwheat crepes in a serene Marais location!

Tiny hole in the wall cafe, coffee done right, adorable setting
Excellent Israeli restaurant. Trendy, fast food with limited seating. Delicious "sandwiches" served in warm fluffy pita with all sorts of fillings including some amazing lamb, steak, and egg combinations. And don't miss the incredible roasted cauliflower or sweet potato. Vegetarian ratatouille plate excellent too.
As good as everyone says..
Modern small plates, I hear good for wine.
Beautiful space, cafe too!
Great shop space, healthy dishes, and a comfortable used book cafe to enjoy a read, coffee, and a pastry. A Paris institution. Very instagrammable
Solid French-Filipino fare from sister chefs. Good for lunch
Fabulous Thursday/Sunday market - produce, meat, cheese, etc.
New Ten Belles outpost. Bread and coffee bar
Classic French Bistro, excellent steak frites
Aline and Laurent say it's some of the best Vietnamese in Paris.
Great classic Vietnamese street food. Prepare to wait in a line outside - but don't worry, it moves fast!
Charming little vegan spot with omnivore options
Best Crossfit in paris
Fabulous bazar associated with the nearby bio market. Great for gifts and kitchenware. Lots of high end coffee supplies (Hario, Chemex, etc)

Great wine place and restaurant by the guys behind Vivant

Want to go. Try confit de canard
delicious light healthy lunch and juice
great little florist. good prices beautiful seasonal flowers.
Frenchie's more casual (and bigger) wine bar across the street. No reservations, so you might actually have a chance of getting a table. Very, very tasty small plates.

Well-known fromagerie, with a selection of over 200 cheeses.
Incredible selection of cheeses
In this parallel universe, Asterix settled a little corner of Paris near the Gare du Nord with his chef Gastronomix. And it was good. Totally weird and totally awesome. And 1000% Breton.

Good little hole in the wall coffee joint with fast service and a few nice little areas to sit.

Terrific pizza, especially the diavola with spicy sausage. Expansive outdoor seating and decent rosé by the carafe. It is in a bobo area so expect many smokers on the terrace, FYI

Thrilled this great ramen shop is open in Paris. Second location near Les Halles.

Good, healthy breakfasts and excellent fresh juices. Great atmosphere when the windows are open to the street! Go early on the weekends to avoid the crowds. Outstanding, friendly service too.

New place! Vegan, cold pressed juice, even bulletproof coffee!
High potential but doesn't perform. Classic space, food fell short. Found service to be better than I've heard it can be.
Great off beat bookshop
Classy little tourist shop with fun souvenirs and mostly Paris themed home goods. Some beautiful cutlery too
Ladies: professional affordable waxing
Good new juice bar. More creative options
Delicious, light, extremely reasonable price fixe Italian inspired lunch. Beautiful little space.
One of the best tables in Paris for modern French cuisine
Have now been multiple times and have been increasingly amazed. It's even stepped up so much this year from last. By far the best in Paris for me! Two sizes of tasting menu and every dish creative, extraordinary, leaves you wanting more. A beautiful space too. Reserve ahead.
Trendy, and worth it! Original tastes, super nice service
Have now been 4 times - twice for lunch and twice for dinner - and found both the service and the meals exceptional. Second favorite restaurant in Paris.
Local street market every day but Monday. All produce. A David Lebovitz favorite.
Fairly good croissants. Nice color and flake. Must note at time of order whether for take out or eat in (a small surcharge). Limited seating.
Madeleines to die for. I've been converted
Apparently decent burritos
Shakespeare & Co has a cafe next door now. Delicious homemade chai, good coffee by Cafe Lomi, lots of healthier (i.e. Gluten free, almond milk) options here
Cool Paris inspired street wear
Market & coffee shop. The little chocolate baguette is so good!
All Nordic products. Great brands. Simplicity at its best - a great place to pop into on one of the best little streets in Paris.
Cool plant terrariums.
Chic succulents. Even fun to look at from the outside!
Perfect bistro on Ile St Louis to sit outside right across from Notre Dame. Nougat and Tarte Tropezienne all the way from Senequier in St. Tropez.
Classic French cuisine, slightly pricey but worth it for ambiance and experience. Food very solid as well!
Some say it's the best little street in Paris
Many say the best "poulet roti" in Paris!
Ancien Restaurant Chartier - a most unique experience. Classic French dishes at ridiculously reasonable prices in a massive classical dining room, no-nonsense service for quick turns. Don't expect any culinary masterpieces, but worth visiting.
Exceptional ambiance. A classic French experience at rock bottom prices. 120 years in business and feels like you've walked into a time warp! Well worth visiting for the history alone.
Custom flavored Belgian waffles!
Eccentric chocolatier, very creative.
Little chocolate shop with completely unique flavors. A cigar flavored one just blew my mind!
Great bread and pastries, classic ambiance
I think I just had the best meal of my life. 7 small courses with tea pairings (and/or wine pairings) from a husband wife duo. Impeccable in every flavor and detail. Very difficult to get a reservation but well with it. Maybe easier for lunch!

An institution
Just stumbled upon this perfume shop founded in 1803. Extraordinary interior and products! Reminiscent of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.
As the NY Times describes: "Founded in 1643 by Cardinal Mazarin, prime minister for the young Louis XIV, it is the oldest public library in France...The L-shaped reading room, on the second floor, is comparatively small. From the windows on one side it looks across the river toward the Louvre, giving the place an intimate, serene air that can transport you back to the 17th century." Want to go.
Remarkable library space. Hidden gem in Paris! Use as a work space free for a 5 day pass, €15 per year. Closed weekends.
Young duo of chocolate makers working more savory flavors into their ganaches, from coriander to Nikka whisky.
Delicious chocolates and caramel. The staff is incredible! They ask where you're from and then choose what you might like.
Want to go.
I love this place. American style breakfast. Menu changes often. Don't miss the black rice on the morning menu!
Croissants. Flaky, buttery, amazing. A David Leibovitz fave.
Exceptional chocolate
Thoroughly enjoyed dining solo at the counter. Ceviche and magret de canard both exceptional. Prices on the higher end!
Fabulous food and intimate setting. The rice pudding is to die for!

New wave café on quiet street near the Palais Royale in the 1ere. Love the "noisette" (similar to espresso macchiato). Hipster tendencies. Limited seating. I recommend.
Great place. Loved the noisette!
My all time favorite Parisian bistro. The plat de jour never fails to be amazing if you get there in time to get one. All supplied by a little farm and in the same family as Fer au Cheval & Etoile Manquante. The best ambiance!
Beautiful.

"The grand exterior and courtyard, built from 1475 to 1507 and heavily restored in the 20th century, is a disguise. Behind the turrets and thick walls is the city's lively collection of graphic arts, including more than a million postcards and 20,000 posters, an art form at which the French have historically excelled."

Another Costes brothers restaurant, situated at the top (6th floor) of the Pompidou Center. Striking modern interior. Go for the views rather than the food. The service will be the hardest thing to stomach.
Food is good but not outstanding - however the real winner here is the space and the view. Great place for a fun night out.

Iconic Parisian food truck serving American burgers and fries. Sounds like a great experience. You'll find it most often at this location (near MK2 Bibliothéque) in the evenings, 19h00-22h30 (or until they run out). Check website for schedule. Want to go.

He's famous for chocolate, but get the brioche aux pralines roses, studded with almonds and hazelnuts coated in rose sugar. Highly recommend.

Ate here before it had any Michelin stars (now it has 2). Refined, modern French cooking from French-born Akrame Benallal (Algerian descent). Good flavors, beautiful plating. In the 16eme. Need to go back. I recommend.

Quintessentially Paris, and lovely in all seasons. Weekends bring all sorts of life to this small park in the Marais, where lovers sprawl on the grass intertwined and children play excitedly with marbles. Stop here on a Sunday between a wander in the streets of the Marais and a visit to nearby Bastille Market.
Cafe and (miniscule) horseshoe shaped stone bar that has been here for more than a century. Charming in a way only Paris can be; nothing special in terms of drinks, cozy to say the least, with a boisterous, convivial atmosphere.
Perfect ambiance in this quintessential Parisian cafe. Watch the crowds pass by while enjoying espresso or a delicious salad
Famous falafel place, so delicious. One of David Lebovitz's must-dos for good reason. Closed Friday dinner, all day Saturday. Crazy lines on Sunday afternoon.
Amazing falafel and schwarma. Fast and fresh!
Love this location of the classic tea house - come for afternoon tea with pastries or amuse buches!

Fabulous little French bistro with great value meals and some of the best food in Paris.
Incredible weekend flea/antique market on the outskirts of Paris. Don't miss the Paul Bert section, full of charming antiques you could only find in France.
Incredible upscale classic French dining experience with a price to match. Service amazing and not a detail was missed. Reserve well ahead.
Great place to grab a cheap but delicious sandwich and head to the park!
Excellent Argentine steaks
Delicious Moroccan
Incredible pates and jambon - well priced, delicious, simple sandwiches. And what a picturesque little space!

Classic traditional French cuisine. Service and food impeccable! The only bistro in Paris with one Michelin star. Been open since 1912 but was acquired by Alain Ducasse in 2005. Truly an experience not to miss in Paris (and don't miss the sep, cassoulet, or profiteroles while you're there!)
Foodie Paradise! This is the place to shop for fine foods in Paris - either prepared or not - with fresh ingredients from all over the world.
Largest collection of Monets in the world (over 300 impressionist and post-impressionist works, including his famous water lillies). Also holds the art of Degas, Morisot, Manet, Sisley, Renoir...). A charming, small, manageable museum.
Amazing kouign amann, try the mini flavored pastries - the salted caramel was divine!
An incredible upscale taxidermy shop, a must not miss salon of oddities!
Vegetarian restaurant, plus vegan milkshakes. Via Le Fooding.
Casual vegetarian restaurant with delicious dishes and protein shakes. Also services coffee from Belleville Brulerie
Gelato!
Creamy, delicious gelato that some say rivals Berthillon - although the flavors are slightly more traditional. Don't miss the pistachio, if that's your thing. Also open late!
