Apart from playing host to the world famous French fashionista, Paris has also
built up a formidable reputation as one of the culinary capitals of the world.
In fact, any normal visitor to the city is truly spoilt for choice about what/where
to eat in Paris. The gastronomical delights of Paris are endless, and one can
locate some of the best international cuisines here, leaving aside the delicious
French food itself. In fact, the French consider preparation of food to be a true
art form.
Paris is literally inundated with thousands of restaurants, cafes and bistros,
all of which are institutions by themselves. Cuisines are available from virtually
every French province, and certain swank French restaurants can be very expensive
indeed. Some of them such as the Lucas Carton, Alain Ducasse and Le Grand Véfour
truly offer a once in a lifetime experience for those who can afford to pay.
Apart from them, the bistros and the famous French cafes also offer traditional
delicacies such as French Fries, French omelets and veal in white sauce. Coming
to the prices, they may appear as extravagant, especially to foreign tourists,
but then Paris also has relatively inexpensive joints which can cater to their
taste buds very well.
If you are a foreign national and looking for what and where to eat in Paris,
the range of international cuisines available is truly mind blowing. There are
a whole lot of places offering authentic Chinese, Japanese, Indian and American
style food as well as those representing former French colonies such as Morocco
and Algeria. Some of these places are decorated in such a way that you actually
feel you are in the country that they represent. Again, the price range is medium
to very expensive, and some of these restaurants have even earned Michelin stars,
which instantly add to a restaurant's upmarket value. So the next time you are
on a holiday or business trip and wondering about what/where to eat in Paris,
you may be sure there is simply no dearth of choice.
