How To Eat 🥐 Like A Local In Paris 🇫🇷

How To Eat  Like A Local
    🥐  In Paris  🥖
 

Café des Musées 
Café des Musées is a charming restaurant serving classic French dishes like entrecôte steak and house-made pâtés.


La Butte Aux Piafs 
La Butte Aux Piafs opened last summer and is already a favorite among local students who go to school in the area. One of our French editors tells us the bistro sells a special squid ink burger.

Pho 14 
Our French editors think the best Pho and Bo bun (a noodle bowl) in Paris come from Pho 14. Locals love it. As food blog Paris By Mouth says, "It’s easy to find Pho 14. Just look for the line."

Racines 
A favorite Paris wine bar, Racines serves market-driven food with simple ingredients. It's situated in a 19th-century shopping arcade and is known for its natural wines. A location has just opened in New York City.
Big Fernand 
Burgers are trendy in Paris right now and one of the most popular places to get them is Big Fernand. There are five house burgers, or you can build your own in true American style.

Little Fernand 
If you're looking for a hot dog, Big Fernand's little brother, Little Fernand, is here to fulfill your American dreams. You can also get a bag of chips, coleslaw, brownies and Dr. Pepper with your hot dog.  http://www.littlefernand.com/
 
Dédé La Frite 
Dédé la frite is where to go to get your French fry overdose. 
Chez Jeannette 
For French and Mediterranean cuisine favored by Parisians, Chez Jeanette is the place to go.
 
La Candelaria 
If you're looking for a bar that's trendy with Parisians, head to La Candelaria. (You'll have to walk through a taqueria to get there.)
 
Balls 
There is a trendy new restaurant in Paris called Balls, it serves primarily meatballs, and we need to go there. Plus, the waiters wear T-shirts that read, "Eat My Balls," or so we hear.
L' Eclair de Génie 
As if it weren't enough that Paris is home to a store where you can only buy cream puffs, it is also home to a store where you can only buy eclairs. L' Eclair de Génie is partly responsible for the revival of this classic 19th-century pastry that may have been eclipsed by the macaron in recent years. Thank you, L' Eclair de Génie, for reminding us of the glory of this fantastic dessert.
Popelini 
Popelini is a small pâtisserie where you can only buy cream puffs. The legendary cream puffs are one of the best things one of Le Huffington Post's editors have ever eaten in Paris. Need we say more?
Le Marché des Enfants Rouges 
Le marché des Enfants Rouges is the oldest covered market in Paris. Built in 1615, it is a bustling and loud market and food hall in the Marais, where you can find pretty much anything you'd want to eat, from Lebanese food to Japanese. It may be visited by tourists, but that doesn't mean it's strictly a tourist destination. Locals love and frequent Le Marché des Enfants Rouges too.

Le Petit Cambodge 
Cambodian restaurant Le Petit Cambodge is home to the second best "bo bun" (noodle bowl) in Paris, our editors tell us.
French Foods
That Are Better Than A Burger
France, the home of haute cuisine, has a new food obsession that you've probably heard about: the humble hamburger. According to a study released by Gira Conseil, the country downed a staggering 970 million hamburgers last year. Nearly half of all sandwiches sold were hamburgers. What happened to the baguette?

Seventy-five percent of traditional French restaurants now offer at least one kind of burger. More depressing is the fact most burgers are sold from one of France's 1,300 McDonald's.
We're all for a good burger. Don't get us wrong. A big, juicy patty sandwiched between a buttery bun, oozing with cheese or caramelized onions -- we're in favor, trust us. The wonderful and vast world of French cuisine, however, is not to be underrated, and certainly not be overtaken by a single comfort food. Here are 30 French foods that are better than a burger:
