Cool Restaurants in Paris
Going out to dinner is one of the greatest pleasures Paris has to offer and one of the top reasons I feel so lucky to live here. While I'm no food expert, I am a total ambience junkie, and to me the atmosphere of a restaurant is as important as the quality of the meal, so I think you'll see that reflected in my choices for this section. You may also notice that a majority of these restaurants are either in the Marais or in Montmartre, and that's simply because those are the two neighborhoods where I've lived, i.e. the places where I've been hungry the most often. As this site grows, I'm making a project of specifically venturing out into other neighborhoods in search of great restaurants all over the rest of the city.
Unlinked items are articles I'm working on now. You can follow the Cool Stuff in Paris blog and Twitter to see updates about all articles as they're posted!
