We Tried Authentic French Foods and It Traumatized Us!

When in... Paris? France and Italy have a bit of a battle between them- who makes the best food in the world? Since we're in Paris, we decided we had to put their cuisine to the test! After many recommendations and lots of research, we set out for the famous Bouillon Chartier to try escargot, foie gras and andouillette sausage for the first time.

As a Parisian, Bouillon Chartier is definitely not the best french restaurant if you're looking to try "good" French food. The restaurant is famous because it's been around for a long time and is sort of an historical place. People go for the experience and to take pictures. The food is not great, but decent for the price. I used to go a few years ago when it wasn't as famous amongst tourists and we didn't have to wait in line to get a table. Nowadays, there are much better options!

[@CBEEBLE]

Exactly!

[@mmelloffparis]

Yes, there is much better in Paris for sure

[@laurentogetatx]

Last time i went was in 95 and there was already quite a line - Chartier is famous because they stick to the tradition and have had pretty much the same menu for a century.

Yup, frozen food is...not a good sign when you're judging a restaurant's quality. I'm guessing they're doing it to catch up with demands but a restaurant that actually cares about the experience would NEVER serve frozen food! And a line out the door doesn't always mean the place you're going to is the best, but that it's more likely a tourist trap portrayed as an amazing experience. That cozy French restaurant Claudette you went to in NYC was better quality than this was, because yeah, you can just tell they cared! Those cheap cream puffs are definitely an insult to their original recipe. So regarding cream puffs: The choux pastry used to make them was invented by the Italian head chef of the court of Catherine de' Medici, who came to France from Florence to marry Henry II in 1533. The original recipe changed as the years passed, as the pastry cook's art began to develop around the 17th century. It would take until the nineteenth century to be perfected by Marie-Antoine Carême

[@orogor]

The purpose of a bouillon is to be cheap, the original goal was under 2 old francs , so less than 10€. They could have had much better dinner at le train bleu, dinner starts at 75€ per person. Bouillon was 15€. You go to bouillon chartier for the history and the cheap price. The room itself is splandid and usually that's what the peoples want to see when they go there. There are other bouillons were you don't have to wait for hours, because the room is more modern/classic.

[@gregkerr725]

Surely there are restaurants in France where you can walk in and get a table right away and have a decent meal. I would never ever ever wait in a series of lines like those you've shown unless at the end of the line they were handing out large sums of money.

So while eating snails is commonly associated with the French, different peoples of different periods have eaten snails! Lots of broken snail shells dating back to 10,700 BCE were found in a cave in southern Greece, implying they were eaten. They found the same thing in many sites of Iraq and western Iran from the late Pleistocene. Ancient Romans considered snails as an elite food, and the first written reference to snail farms comes from Ancient Rome. Roman breeder Quintus Fulvius Lippinus is considered the "father" of heliciculture, and while he feasibly studied domesticating other creatures like dormice and wild boar, he was famous for his big snail collection, and each snail was enormous themselves thanks to a fattening diet.

Snails are eaten in Portugal, Spain and I'm sure they are in Italy as well amongst other locations in around the Med probably. I. Portugal/Spain they are called Caracóis/caracoles but you don't just get 6 and they are a summer snack/tapa. Usually in a broth alongside buttered toast... Very popular in the summer. Larger ones are called caracoletas and are also served the same way. They aren't an exotic delicacy that requires "fanciness" 😂

[@paristoptips]

This is NOT macaroni. It's coquillettes: these kind of pastas are kind of of "Proust madeleine" to all French people because that's what you're being served a lot when you're a kid. In no way you can call them a gastronomic dish, but then, her beef stew with coquillettes was priced less than 10 €, an incredible bargain in Paris. Those Bouillon are not gastronomic restaurants, they used to cater for the working forces. Don't expect to eat anything gastronomic there, but it's a cultural experience!

I'd have to agree with George Lei! Since 1985, whenever I am in Paris I have to visit my favorite, Brasserie Bofinger, an Alsatian "Belle Epoque" brasserie founded in 1864 near Place de La Bastille! It is famous for it's magnificent domed skylight (backlit) and worth a visit, they'll let you in to look during the day if they are not busy! Other suggestions would be Les Deux Magots (hangout for Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Picasso, Hemingway, Henry Miller among others) and continuing on the Left Bank, there are other famous hangouts of artists and writers (Hemingway etc.) Brasserie Lipp, Restaurant Polidor, and La Closerie des Lilas. I'm forgetting so many places, but one last one, another rather famous restaurant is Au Pied de Cochon! Don't short change yourself and get the wrong impression of "La Belle Cuisine" Bouillon Chartrier has been for more than a few decades now, an overrated tourist trap. Perhaps you two, being as delightfully young as you are, may not be familiar with Le Guide Michelin but get one for Paris or the red overall one. You just cannot go wrong with it. Even one or two crossed fork and spoons (the red ones are a higher rating) will reveal wonderful places to eat and which are often much less expensive. For hotels, more little birdies on rockers the more tranquil and quieter the place, the more little hotels the higher the rating and the higher the luxury and price.

[@videojeroki]

as French I had the chance to go to Roma and as a food lover I was excited to try stuff but of course as tourist, even being very careful and picky about the place to go, with my budget, I didn't succeed to find a restaurant that full fill my expectations and end up being disappointed (because I expected too much). BUT I know the italians classics and the quality of their products and I would NEVER judge an entire internationally famous gastronomic country like Italy based on my personal bad luck and/or lack of time/knowledge at that time. Vive Italy and their talents! Like many countries, France has influences from surrounding countries, including Italy. It is about regions, not country. Sicilian food is very different than food from North Italy. Same for France. France has been internationally famous for its food, but especially for the fact that the concept of modern restaurant became a thing: after the revolution, all the chef cooks of the bourgeoisie opened places where the customers would have a quality experience within a clean, comfortable and decorated 'restaurant' with a menu, service, toilets, etc. Before that, you could only find something to eat in bars/taverns, surrounded by drunk people, you would need to bring your own knife and fork, and the choice was limited to whatever local product or whatever the wife of the owner would have time to cook. Today in France and other countries, the regulation, normes, food safety stuff, taxes, etc... push the restaurant owners to not take risks and discourage talented hard workers to make great but simple food, but there are still a lot of beautiful and simple restaurant to enjoy :)

[@sudipdas9389]

Considering the hype and line, the prices are not bad. 10€ for Beef Bourguignon and under 15€ for other main dishes, isn’t too shabby.

Bouillon Chartier is like diner food so it’s not really that great…but in general in France a simple carrot or potato is transcendent. Produce and small batch artisan foods just taste better.

I am French and I can tell you that snails are of little interest. They are obviously disgorged and somewhat resemble shellfish of the same type (whelks, winkles), except that they have even less taste.

In the 70s, twice in the 80s and the 90s, I visited Paris. In the former incidences, not having much money, I survived on street food, bread, what I could buy at Monoprix, and the salad bar at Printemps department store, which was really good. In the 90s, I was a bit more well-heeled, and tried average neighborhood restaurants, which I found adequate but not great. So, I wound up eating in cafes which I actually liked much better. I loved Paris for its streets and the vibe. However, that began to seriously deteriorate in the 90s. Would not go near it today with the hordes of Americans and resident scammers. I've eaten escargot when I lived in NYC and loved it, especially the shallot butter sauce it was drenched in.

The "Bouillons" are a type of affordable restaurants, with very few "home made" products (mostly frozen, canned or already-cooked and vacuum packed products).

My suggestion, if you're going to wait in line, is Le Relais de Venise - son entrecôte in Porte Maillot right off the M1. They only have one set menu, the house red is pretty good, and the desserts are much better. You often wait 45 minutes, but as long as you don't overcook (well done) the steak you'll probably be happy. If you're looking for a nice picture the restaurant at Tour Eiffel you can eat while looking down Champ Mars. Other nice places would be Boneshaker Donuts, Frédéric Comyn, Du Pain et des Idées and a few others like Stohrer if you want some history. Cooking classes at Le Foodist are fun as well.

Le relais de Venise or its twins le relais de l’entrecôte are way overrated. Make yourself a favor: go somewhere else.

😂😂😂😂 his French 🇫🇷 ancestors are happy 😂😂😂 hilarious 😁😁

. I used to live in South Carolina and eating chitlins was totally okay. Not bad at all I also like escargot and love country scrapple ( pate )

I usually throw out hard boiled eggs that have developed a green ring around the yolk as seen in this video.

[@Automage45]

4:00 I made the same face before going skydiving lol

[@katush80]

People pay money to be crammed next to someone and eat boiled eggs and Mayo! Wild! 😂

[@the_meme_giver]

i gotta tell you, try the papillote. it's a french chocolate candy that tastes really good. though i think you can only find it in the auvergne-rhône-alpe region

[@mikeywestside8509]

I just discovered your videos yesterday and I'm already binge watching so many of them. 👌🏼

[@kathykramer3215]

the best food in the world, for free. I would not wait!!!!

When Alessio winks at Jessi ❤️

[@robertopisano6582]

When you see a line that long just walk away. Even if good on a slow night there's no way any restaurant can perform to standard without cranking out an assembly line of set dishes. This experience looked to me to be on par with Olive Garden but with Paris prices. Why . . . just why?

[@davidperezgomez2377]

Please You need to come to México, it would be amazing to see your reaction

[@user-hi3yf6lc3i]

So ,they never return alive?

[@charliesargent6225]

Oh sure, nothing wrong with cartels and half of Mexico considered dangerous zone by US govt/

[@ivobatista4018]

Macaroni and boef borguignon?! Might as well have a sandwich with a side of rice 😂

[@americanmade4791]

It leaves the impression that the kitchen ran out of potatoes.

[@ivobatista4018]

@@americanmade4791 I dunno, that just seems like a really odd substitution 😆

[@StudioFish]

❤️ your reviews! I'm glad you used comparisons, like 'the snail is like a raw mushroom' it helps us get an idea of texture-- otherwise......🤢

[@moorenicola6264]

If you make your own puff pastry its perfectly fine to freeze and defrost it. It's the quality of ingredients that matter not the freezing.

Having grown up in Europe, let me tell you that whenever you eat any internal organs, be prepared for the shock of the smell, taste or texture. Brains, eyes, hearts, stomachs, livers, spleen, kidneys and intestines are very common, all over the world. Here in the US, Rocky Mountain Oysters (bull testicles), are a delicacy. It's the efficiency of using the whole animal. My grandmother loved them all. My mom, some. Me, none. Blame it on McDonald's. 😅

[@Ayan-bp4dq]

Organic meat is very good for you, and I think our generation is doing ourselves a disservice. Having said that, I'll skip the colon. 😅 I can imagine that being tough to eat.

[@kimmychan1967]

Go to Le Bristol. My maternal bio great-grandfather opened it. I’m from America & have always wanted to go. 4 Michelin stars. 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@ThePasinis]

oooooooh wow next time we will go

[@patrickchilds9620]

Should have seen my Hawaii born daughter in law when she tried escargot. We had to order more.

[@adamwarren5654]

Chittlin’s is pretty common down in the south.

[@Ayan-bp4dq]

Apparently, the best food in Paris is on 11th Street/arrondissement. But I think most aren't true traditional French food there but more inspired by the chefs' creativity.

[@adrienhb8763]

You will find amazing food all over Paris not in just one of its quarter.

[@saratemp790]

Unless you are a real foodie, it's hard to recommend restaurants to tourists in your own home town. Because usually in your own town, you just go to some place close and cheap. Not necessarily the ultimate dining experience.

[@bandislife2004]

🐌 Great review!! Loved it!!❤❤❤

[@ThePasinis]

grazie mille per aver guardato tutto il video❤️

[@modestacattaruzza7400]

Io mangio le lumache, da bambina piccola andavo a raccogliere specialmente quando pioveva, venivano fuori. Comunque;CI Sono molto modi da cucinarlo, Ed IL miglore e ` con la salsa di burro , aglio, prezzemolo. Buonissimi.

[@coconutandhazelstuff8581]

You are cool guys, I like you really much. I think you have both good hearts

[@shawmmathews889]

Well, slaves in the US and now their descendants, eat something called chitlins. As an African American, my father loved shitlins...as we called them. I hated them because you have boil them for hours to make them tender and the house smells like crap. Jessi, you have a beautiful smile! I hope your health is good. Alessio, I kind of hate when American girls marry foreign guys because I think it's very shallow to be attracted to someone for an accent. With you, however, I think she saw in you kindness, honesty, decency, silliness, and fun. She made a great choice! God bless you both!

[@alisonleatherbarrow]

I live near Guemene sur scorff which is famous for its andouille it looks nothing like what you had
