Let’s kick it off with a bang, Ober Mamma Italian Restaurant is a must try. The truffle pasta, truffle pizza, and burrata were all to die for. The presentation of each dish was beautiful and the flavors were exquisite. The prices are affordable, the service is great, and the food makes the visit well worth it. Overall, I give Ober Mamma a 9/10 rating.
Next up, Cafe Dupleix is a staple for me every time I go to France. Every dish on the menu is simply amazing, but the charcuterie board, chicken salad, fish and chips and espresso martini are my go-to’s. The cost of Cafe Dupleix are a little pricier than Ober Mamma, but the atmosphere and wide variety of dishes makes it a solid option for tourists. Overall, I give Cafe Dupleix an 8.7/10.
If you are looking for a change of pace in Paris, C’Roll Sushi is the perfect option. One night in Europe I was craving sushi and decided to give this place a try, and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The fish tasted fresh and had amazing flavor and the bright and lively atmosphere made the experience extremely memorable. I have had a lot of sushi in my life and I would put C’Roll Sushi at the top of my list of best sushi, so don’t walk there, RUN! I can’t even downplay how good C’Roll is, I give it a 10/10 overall.
Escargot is a classic Parisian dish, so obviously you have to get it while in Paris. I have had escargot many times in multiple different countries, but the best I have ever had are from Cafe Ruc. The snails here are marinated in a flavorful sauce and the texture is always perfection, I can not recommend them enough. The French onion soup is also some of the best I have ever had, which is saying a lot. Overall, I give Cafe Ruc an 8.4/10.
Lastly, while you are in Paris you obviously have to get a croissant. There are so many bakeries to choose from, but Du Pain et des Idees is my absolute favorite. Out of every bakery I have been to, this one has the widest variety and fastest service. Also, compared to other bakeries, the pastries here are cheap. The walls and windows are filled bread, croissants, muffins, and any other pastry you can think of. Du Pain et des Idees has never let me down, so I give it a 10/10.
