Indulge in the City of Light
The French take their food very seriously. This is the country that created the tasting menu, doesn’t believe in low fat, and treats pastries as a kind of religion. Here are my favorite restaurants and hotels in Paris, from old school French bistros and Michelin-starred dining to casual spots celebrating the bistronomy movement. Before your next trip you gotta check out my pal David Lebovitz’s blog for new, classic and under-the-radar suggestions, and then download his Paris Pastry Guide for the ultimate tour of sweets.
