    Delicious places to eat in Paris, France. From the best pastry snails to lamb pitas to eclairs! Everything you want to eat while visiting Paris!

    All of my favorite Paris Eats in one place. Enjoy the beautiful city! 

    L' ECLAIR DE GENIE 

    Seriously how beautiful is this eclair? The prettiest I have ever seen. This whole store was full of jaw dropping-ly beautiful eclairs. And to boot this Salted caramel Eclair was the best eclair I have ever eaten. The salted caramel cream in the middle was epic. I must recreate this ! Stay tuned 🙂

    Miznon

    Theres a famous falafel place in Paris that I wanted to visit. The night before I happened to stand in line next to a lovely couple, she was born and raised in Paris and he was Irish. I mentioned the falafel place and she advised me to try Miznon instead it was just around the corner from the falafel spot and was a way better local spot. I am so glad she did. We had the lamb pita, it was delicious, one of the best things we ate in Paris. Try this place!

    BAR ITALIA BRASSERIE

    My sister recommended Bar Italia Brasserie. She said the burrata was amazing. She was soooo right. Absolutely stunning both in presentation ( those grilled veggies ) and in taste. While I was there to try the homemade pasta, after the burrata, meats, veggies and fresh bread we were way too full for pasta. So I had Cannoli instead. A nice thick cream in the middle with the perfect crunch of the pastry. I will definitely be back to try the pasta I was heartbroken to miss it! The service was also impeccable, so friendly and kind. The place is tiny tiny so make a booking!

    LA PATISSERIE CYRIL LIGNAC

    It was my last day in Paris so it was my last time to fill up on delicious desserts. Rum Baba was a must, look at that cream? Did not disappoint!

    Lemon Pie with a hazelnut crust, so tart yet creamy.

    RELAISE ENTRECOTE

    One of my friends recommended this place for dinner, it was right down the street from our lovely hotel. They do not take bookings, you queue outside. There were many locals in line, a very good sign. The beauty of this place is they only serve one thing, Steak Frites with fresh bread and salad to start. Annnnd you get two servings of steak frites! Delicious meal, the sauce was amazing. And we had their profiteroles upon recommendation from my friend and locals in line. GO HERE!

    DU PAIN ET DES IDEES

    While an escargot pastry didn't sound appetizing, it sure did look it. The pistachio and chocolate filling against all the beautiful layers of pastry were perfect. 

    L'ATELIER DES PAINS & CO

    I couldn't go to Paris and not have a Napolean/ Mille-feuille, could I? Would have been rude not to have one! Please look at all these beautiful layers. Such a gorgeous pastry. This was a beautiful bakery with many delicious looking treats.

    LADUREE

    Probably one of the most iconic places to go in Paris, Laduree does not disappoint. Sure some of the specialty of this place has been taken away since they have locations in various big cities over the world now, but none the less they are famous for a reason. They are excellent macarons. And other spectacular desserts and pastries. This was the salted caramel macaron, my favorite flavor. I wish I could find photos of their macarons in Sydney and New York where I had numerous boxes of macarons. The lemon, coffee, chocolate, and vanilla are also favorites of mine.
