Great for looking at the passers-by while eating the BEST Tarte Tartin with sour cream in the city. It's quite pricy, so sharing with someone is recommended :)

Do you like chinese noodles? Well, here they make it *from scratch* and they are fresh & divine. (Make sure you order a plate with fresh noodles, as some come with pre-made ones.)

If it's your first time in Paris, you must go to Île-Saint-Louis in general, but I really like this restaurant that serves delicious — and heavy, beware — alsacian food. Cassoulet away...

They say it's the best ice cream in Paris, but not a big ice cream expert. The fact is that it's a classic and they always have some seasonal flavors — like wild strawberries, which are great.

Italian for experts: Enza & Famiglia has true italian dishes, with very nice waiters and great wine. If you order to go, the meal can cost up to 40% less — and you can bring it back home.

This is my favorite restaurant in Paris, but I save it for very special occasions, as price tends to be around 50€/person (3-course-meal + wine). Squid-ink risotto + ox cheeks + riz-au-lait = love.

You'll hear about L'As du Fallafel, but maybe take a right and go to Miznon, for the best roasted (blackened) cauliflower, sweet potatoes and artichokes... I always crave for more!

Cheap, quick and well-served food from the basques, Chez Gladines is a visitors salvation. And if you're not too hungry, you could even just share a salad. Trust me.

Do it like in Lisbon, but in Paris: have a "pastel de nata", delicious portuguese dessert. They also serve sea appetizers that are real good (but come from the can). Muito bom.

From all galleries in Paris, it's in Goodman that I've seen the best exhibitions... You must ring the gallery at the door, and they'll let you in. But be assured that everyone is invited.

It's the empire of macaroons, and every season they come out with newer and more exotic tastes. I always remember the foie-gras & chocolate flavor: insane.
