Paris Restaurants:

The venerable capital of gastronomy gets hip. A Parisian makes food his top priority and people do not eat on the run here, nobody is chewing in the streets of Paris.

A restaurant (as opposed to a café) meal in Paris used to mean three courses, but nowadays most limit themselves to two courses at lunch and indulge in a full meal only at dinner.

The modern bistro has become firmly entrenched in the Paris food scene, setting a standard that even haute cuisine restaurants sometimes have trouble surpassing. The food at L’Astrance, L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon and Flora is likely to be as good as anything you might taste in Paris, if not the world.
