Du Pain et des Idées

The most celebrated bakery in Paris — a restored 1875 boulangerie in Canal Saint-Martin where Christophe Vasseur's organic sourdough loaves, escargot pastries, and pain des amis have earned a near-religious following. The interior is a listed historic monument. Queue by 9am.

🍜

Septime

The restaurant that defines contemporary Parisian cooking — Bertrand Grébaut's impeccable seasonal tasting menus in a simple, unassuming dining room in the 11th. Consistently one of the best restaurants in Europe. Book 6-8 weeks ahead; the €60 lunch is the world's greatest value in fine dining.

🍜

L'As du Fallafel

The most legendary falafel stand in Europe — a tiny counter on Rue des Rosiers in the Jewish Quarter of the Marais that serves the definitive Paris falafel: stuffed with fried eggplant, cabbage, cucumber, tahini, and harissa in a fluffy pita. The queue moves fast; eat standing on the street.
