We Tried 4 Restaurants near Le Louvre in Paris (Local Spots)

When Antoine does his finger moves after taking a bite, which I call taste bud conducting, I know it's a winner! Thanks for another awesome video!

[@anniebowen1]

"taste bud conducting" is brilliant!

[@TiffanySparrow]

Yessss! Well named!

[@anastasiav.206]

I love his reaction too! I can literally feel the amazing taste then

[@alliemills41]

When Antoine does the “orchestra conductor hands”, you know whatever he is eating is out of this WORLD! 😊

[@christopherdieudonne]

One of THEE best (probably the best) channels on KZbin that showcases great places to eat in Paris on any budget. Hands down !

[@meimoran5223]

Absolutely agree!! Once I have discovered this channel, I very rarely watch other vloggers about travel in Paris because I find so many of the other vloggers lacking in substance and the others have too much fluff. Les Frenchies are my absolute favorite now! ❤

[@MA-cy7su]

Thank you sooo much for showing the prices. Transparency. Wonderful ideas, and we know where to go and how much it is. Mercy infiniment.

[@kenedstrom1556]

It seemed like the prices were pretty high. Is that inflation, location or le deux?

[@MA-cy7su]

To be honest, I can't really judge it. The secret to go out for lunch or dinner is to ask for le plat du jour (formule). You can choose between having 2 or 3 courses. Next trick for your purse and for your appetite is preferring lunch as the long menu. Dinner is more expensive. They had a 3 course menu at Chez Suzette which offers a lot for a reasonable price. The price for Le confit de Canard seemed to me reasonable as well. French people in general estimate food a lot higher. Rumour goes that they spend all their money they earn in December for their Christmas meal, no matter which social class they belong to. In a normal supermarket you will find tools to open oysters, to cut truffles etc. That says it all, doesn't it?

[@alganis3339]

@@kenedstrom1556 Parisian prices are quite high (if you compare to the rest of France) mostly because of the location so higher rent for the restaurants especially in the center. The prices that they showed in this video aren't crazy at all for us (I'm parisian). Also the prices that they show is the full price with tax service included - Tips are optionnal it's only if you had a good moment and a nice waiter :) .

[@chrisallender5]

We’ve been in Paris for 4 days . And you are right , the food closest to the tourist attraction is not good. But keep 4 or 5 blocks away , and the food is amazing. Mamaia’s near the Arc de Triomphe is amazing and La Procope next to La Jacobine was the best meal we’ve had . La Jacobine will be our dinner tomorrow night. The wife want the French onion soup you recommended.

[@jamesfraley2715]

I had such a great experience 10 years ago as a single tourist, and I'm so glad I found this channel - your videos illustrate the culture in a way others don't. I can't wait to come back and bring my wife.

[@lorenagalvan3261]

I noticed that Antoine moves his hands when reacting to the food. Here’s my take on this. Love your reviews and will be helpful when I go to Paris this Christmas. Conductor - Good Violing - Great Piano - Exceptional

[@michaelamappala5238]

Merci for another delightful video. You know when Colleen swoons and Antoine conducts his symphony, the restaurant is a winner! I always appreciate the food descriptions and putting the names and locations of the places.

[@ramona100]

I was curious about Chez Suzette, so I was EXTRA pleased with this video. Hope we get the pleasure of meeting you when we go to Paris this summer ❤

[@tavamj]

I always look forward to your videos! I left a piece of my heart in Paris this year and your videos take me right back every time. ❤

[@BobCochran-c7q]

I love your comments about the food you are eating and Antoine as you are taking a bite of something you really like, your like conducting an orchestra! You both must of been Italian in a previous life with all your hand gestures, I love it! I wish you both would write a book of all your experiences, your are both such a loving couple (obvious). We are planning our next trip to France (3rd) because of DNA, I discovered my true last name should be Cossart. Because of that we will be doing some exploring in Rouen and La Rochelle where my Cossart family comes from the, 14th, 15th and 16th century. Also taking my wife's sister to celebrate her 50th Birthday this coming April, it will be her first visit.

[@TheFurlongFamily]

Did you go to Le Petit Samaritain?? How was it and how was your trip?

[@caleblee3307]

@@TheFurlongFamily unfortunately, I did not stop by the restaurants recommended. My trip was overall a good trip. 4 days in Paris, 12 days in Vierzon visiting family, and then 4 days again in Paris. Almost got pickpocketed on the metro at Trocadéro station. Jsut be more aware of your surroundings especially when boarding the train. They’ll sneak up on you. Also they tried pickpocketing in the parks near the Eiffel Tower. Overall the food was delicious.

[@caleblee3307]

@@TheFurlongFamily we didn’t do much brasserie food. I was with family who had toddlers so it was hard to find time to do a good sit down meal. We went to lots of bakeries near our hotel, beef tartare from a place called Crucial. Had good easy lunch from La Famille (lots of office workers here during lunch) and it had a good view of the Eiffel Tower when sitting at their patio. We had good ramen at both Kodawari Ramen locations (have to reserve seats on the Skeepit App) and Crepes at Crêperie Little Breizh were very good

I love this idea! Sometimes it's not feasible to go from a museum or site to a recommended restaurant across town, especially when you're hungry, so this is perfect. Plus it's a challenge to find someplace not super touristy around those spots so these are awesome.

[@TudyBoldin]

Have you tried La Brasserie de l'Isle Saint-Louis right behind Notre Dame and across the footbridge. It's absolutely wonderful. Their gewurztraminer is brilliant. They also specialize in cassoulet. I recommend it to everyone I know is going to be in Paris. After you can wander down to Berthillon's for the best ice cream in the world.
