LOCAL CUISINE
Le Relais de L’Entrecôte Saint Germain des Près, 6e.
A timeless landmark of Parisian cuisine. The Relais de l’Entrecote never fails to make an impression. Here there is no menu, only one dish is served, and people line up around the block to indulge on Steak and Fries with their world famous secret green sauce. Try to guess what’s in it, I dare you. (21€) They do not accept reservations so prepare to stand in line and enjoy the scenic neighborhood.
20 Rue Saint-Benoît, 75006 Paris
Le Coupe-Chou, 5e.
A 13th century manor house with 17th century decor offering an refined atmosphere warmed by a roaring fireplace for a quiet retreat. They have a full menu of French classics made in the traditional way Boeuf Bourguignon simmered for hours in farm to table ingredients because “a Bourguignon is only as good as the wine you cook it in.” We like to order the Magret de Canard à la Pêche it will knock your socks off. (33€) Reservations required.
11 Rue de Lanneau, 75005 Paris
Le Procope, 6e.
Write the next chapter of history in the oldest café in Paris and the first to have ever served coffee! Sit in the seat of Benjamin Franklin and literary greats like Voltaire surrounded by artifacts on every wall. This restaurant is a museum experience in itself. Reservations are required. They can even accommodate groups up to 50.
13 Rue de l’Ancienne Comédie, 75006 Paris
Le Molière Buci, 6e.
This is our friend’s restaurant; tell the owner, Eric, that the Plasters sent you. Full traditional menu and Creperie. Nichole gets the Moules Frites (15€), Rob recommends the Pièce de boeuf XXL (26€), and Cami’s favorite meal of all-time is Eric’s famous Carbonara (15€). At lunch their classic Soupe à l’Oignon will win you over and warm you up at only (10€). Walk-ins welcome, reservations available upon request.
12 Rue de Buci, 75006 Paris
La Cantine du Troquet Pernety, 14e.
Off the beaten path but by far the most amazing cuisine in all of Paris, la Cantine du Troquet offers a menu surprise du chef with 9 courses from their Michelin star chef, basically it is one of everything on the menu for only 35 € per person. Served in a relaxed atmosphere where they seat you at picnic tables with strangers. They do not accept reservations, but the length of the line proves it is worth while.
101 Rue de l’Ouest, 75014 Paris
Cheapest street crêpes in Paris at Crêperie Genia, 5e.
Street food at it’s best. Giant, delicious, steaming crepes to add portable aroma to your sightseeing stroll. They offer a full menu of sweet and savory options if you’re looking for a meal on the run. Our favorite is the nutella, banane (3€). It’s a tiny awning in an awkward corner offering take-away only.
55 Rue de la Harpe, 75006 Paris
INTERNATIONAL CUISINE
Fajitas, 6e.
By far the best Mexican in Paris prepared by a real Mexicain. Feel free to speak Spanish in this mom and pop resto where the wife from El Salvador will be waiting on you. And by all means order a bag of tortilla chips or shells to take home with you from their épicerie. Expect 15-20€ for your main dish, and you’ll pay extra for salsa and chips if you want them as a starter – the family’s gotta make a living.
15 Rue Dauphine, 75006 Paris
Higuma, 1e.
Want to experience what Japanese people really eat every day? Order Yakisoba (9€) with Gyoza (7€) at Higuma and you’ll be in for a real treat. The line wraps around the block but you’ll be rewarded with the pleasure of watching them make each dish to order as the line weaves right through the kitchen! This is a true Japanese diner atmosphere and they do not accept reservations.
32bis Rue Sainte-Anne, 75001 Paris
Han Lim, 5e.
Where Koreans eat Barbecue Coréen snuggled in the charming neighborhood of Rue Moufftard definitely worth a stroll after dinner. Be prepared to be put to work – your table will have it’s own private grill where you will grill to perfection the perfectly marinated steak. Served with a gazillion garnishes that are truly a colorful palette of flavor that can be found no where else. (13€) Walk-ins welcome, reservations available upon request.
6 Rue Blainville, 75005 Paris
Chez le Libanais
I always order the chicken shawarma from 35 and a side of fries from 36. The perfect street food combination.
