10 Must-Try Dishes in Paris (Recommended by Locals)

[@JonnyMReck]

I think this is the best duo on KZbin

[@maureenmolleron747]

Glad to hear other Americans loving my adopted country! I moved here 35 years ago with my French husband. Our teenage daughters weren't so happy at first, but the 5 year old became instantly French.

[@Astrobluey]

You two have made my last couple of trips to Paris a pleasure, thanks for the insights!

[@cathyjustcathy785]

You know it's great food when Colleen delicately licks her fingers and Antoine goes into Maestro Mode with his knife and fork! I will definitely add a few of these to my list of "Must Do"! Thank you Colleen and Antoine for showing us around Paris!

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Thank you 🤣🤣🤣

[@Julianvanderheijden]

One of the greatest food channels… seriously.. you deserve a show..

[@italianlifestyle7911]

I just got back from Paris without trying all these flavorsome dishes.. next time for sure😍

[@renferal5290]

Same here!! Next time

[@pablov1532]

One excuse to go back... But honestly... Paris is one of those "unlimited" cities... there will always be a reason to go back... for those of us who admire beauty, Paris is like a wonderland... 😍😍😍

[@aleortiz4181]

I have never been to Paris but I am french❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nicholasborrelli7544]

Should have done your research. It's not difficult...

[@marthawilson4775]

Thank you both. This is my favorite food video of yours so far! Not only did you tell us about dishes we needed to try, but you named a few of your favorite places for getting them and included the arrondissements. That was so helpful. It was fun to see soufflés among your suggested dishes - not something I usually get during my annual visits to Paris. Now you’ve inspired me!

[@EvanYeahMe]

We just returned from a month in Paris. Thank you for all of your videos that made the trip even better.

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Awesome. That's why we do this, so people can enjoy this beautiful place as much as possible.

[@Spy_Ck]

Amazing Guide from you. As a French Parisian, my head was nodding all the time. Bravo to include different spot for each dish, and giving a heads up to other part of our country. Yes Paris is a part of all France and most delight food came from our Region . Your guides are perfect, the best way for your followers to have a séjour with us :) Merci

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Merci a vous

[@Tostaky777]

Honestly as a French, the food's choice totally makes sense. Quite Parisian but with some space for some more regional food like "boeuf bourguignon" or "plateau de fruit de mer". You guys know your subject :)

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Merci

[@hermestrisme1]

Je suis Français, et j’adore votre façon de promouvoir notre belle culture, et notre gastrotomie, Merci.

And I appreciate how kind the French are to foreigners like myself

[@robinps52]

I cannot wait to get to Paris in October & all of your videos have helped fuel my excitement! I had completely forgotten about soufflés so that has been added to my list of “must haves” while visiting. Merci Colleen et Antoine!

You're welcome 😊

We arrived on Monday and the first thing I tried was the chevre salad thanks to this video. Loved it. Thanks for all of the guidance

[@TolyTheTolerBear]

Great video! Love that you’re both so classy AND adventurous diners! I, too, LOVE bone marrow, duck, soufflés, and fresh, exotic seafood (like sea urchin)! Thankfully, my sister lives in Paris, so I plan on calling in a bunch of favors and having her family treat me to all those places in your video!!!

Love watching you guys! Even my husband who refuses to leave the US is enchanted by your channel. He is a chef and he asked me, “ is that all they do on this channel? Go around and eat food?” And I said yes. 🤣

Last year in Sept and Oct. my wife and I spent 7 weeks in France and of that 11 days in Paris. Watched almost all of your videos and they were EXTREMELY helpful and informative. Can't wait to come back. I highly recommend your VLOGS too anyone planning a trip to France. Thank you so much and keep up the great work.

On my trip I ate chocolate mousse for breakfast everyday. Highly recommended 👌

[@nancyflorida9863]

Love your "food videos." Absolutely savor them.

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Thank you ♡

[@jamesvalenti9288]

I loved France. I had the best cannoli of my life in Rouen. It was funny, because here in the US, my cousin-in-law made a cannoli filled with Cool Whip. Every person with just a fraction of Italian in them laughs, and asks "what the hell is wrong with them!?" Anyway, I tried to tell that story to a local in Rouen, but Cool Whip is not sold in France, so between my broken French, there was no way I could translate the story correctly. lol

Boeuf bourguignon & mashed potatoes. A match made in heaven😋

I love your videos. Please could you do a video on vegetarian and vegan options in Paris? Please share how we should communicate our dietary needs.

[@lorellrogers1216]

Fun video! We were just there and only had time to scratch the surface on the Paris food scene. There’s so much more to try. I know ya’ll focus a lot on French cuisine, but how about a video on different ethnic foods? When we were there, we had amazing Thai, Korean, and Indian food. Paris has such wonderful variety in terms of the types of food you can try.

[@georges1031]

I would love to just follow you two around Paris like a puppy dog. You are the walking encyclopedia of Paris. I have been planning my nest trip around your advice. Merci 😘 My Oma from Germany use to make bone marrow and head cheese and it was heaven. People think it's gross like Steak Tartare (Hackepater), but they have no idea what they are missing.

Love your content… do you have a video covering buffets or all you can eat restaurants in Paris as this would be a great opportunity to sample difference French foods and desserts without breaking the bank for a group/ family

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Not yet!

[@matthieuappenzeller9244]

All you can eat restaurants are mainly Asian restaurants in Paris and around. The absolute must see in your case is "Les Grands Buffets", located in Narbonne. You might find videos on KZbin about this paradis

Duck! Yes. I had Duck Confit at La Chaumière Paris Ile Saint Louis and it was wonderful. I'd only tried duck once in the US and it was completely forgettable... because i can't recall what I was that I ate. (Also, there's Pâtisserie Tourbillon near by and they have some wonderful pastries. They're pricy, but very good).

Forget about French tacos, that's really junkfood. Look for the sandwiches from "chez Alain Miam Miam" on Google or KZbin

OMG!!! One of your choices is my absolute go to salad in Paris (or elsewhere if I can find it), the frisée salad with lardons!!! I live in California and it is sometimes very hard to find frisée here in my area of Southern California or I would be making this all the time…also the chocolate soufflé at le Soufflé is fantastic but we were told as we ordered our entree that in order to have it for dessert, we would have to order in immediately as it is freshly made upon request…it was worth it!!! (and actually restaurant was just down the street from our hotel so guess what we ordered frequently? 🤭

How wonderful! You can get the frisee salad in many places, but it seems only in the summer.

If you could please find a place that serves it I would appreciate it. Americans sadly freak out about the idea of eating snails, but it is such a fabulous dish.

[@benneee_]

Everything melts in his mouth 😄... How can we see the prices of these dishes?

[@matthieuappenzeller9244]

Prices highly depend on the (prestige of the) restaurant. I find sea platters always expensive. But for example I was interested in the price of the Salade César. 17,50€...reasonable. Restaurants called Bouillons are quite cheap and serve really traditional food, but they are in a hype thus very crowded.

[@tukicat1399]

The Chevre salad, is it served in cooler weather? I will be there late October and love goat cheese.

It's a summer dish, but if you come early, it could still be on assume menus. It depends on when the weather turns.

For the tartare they may ask you if you want it "préparé" or "non préparé" (sometimes it's on the menu). Préparé the chef mixe all the ingrédients for you (like thé vidéo) and non préparé you have everything in your plate and you do your own mixe (french favorite) For the salade you may try "chez gladine" at "la butte aux cailles".
