I spent a glorious week in Paris and the food was to die for. As I’m typing this, I’m reminded of the night that I stood at Trocadero eating a warm, thin, perfectly-browned, chocolate Nutella covered crepe while the lights of the Eiffel Tower twinkled in the distance. I stood on line for 20 minutes at a food truck for that crepe! It was worth the wait! Unfortunately, I wasn’t in Paris long enough to sample all the deliciousness that it has to offer. So I asked 7 amazing bloggers to share their top tips for finding the best food to eat in Paris.
Hopefully, they will inspire you to visit Paris and “get your eat on”.

January 5, 2020 12:55 PMAs a born and bred Parisienne, I can say that nothing beats French food. I agree that Paris has become a vegan hotspot (there were hardly any vegetarian restaurants about 10 years ago!) and the quality of the food is just amazing.
Jen Ambrose
January 4, 2020 12:26 PMI had no idea Paris was such a vegan hotspot now! When I was in France 10ish years ago, everything seemed so meat and seafood-based. Glad it sounds like that’s changing!
