The food that fueled me in Paris ✨ Paris is known for its food and after living there for a few months, I quickly became a regular at these incredible spots. From French, Chinese, Haitian, and American, I had the best cuisines in the world right at m...
One of my favorites in Paris! The food isn’t your typical French fare but that’s what makes it amazing. It’s tropical and transports you somewhere totally different. I still think about the roasted chicken with plantains and the matcha crème brûlée
Brasserie Riviera
Ok I’m not exaggerating when I say this place has the BEST BURGER you will ever find. I’ve travelled the world and nothing reviles the burger here. It’s so fresh, organic and truly is packed with amazing flavor. The bar is also so colorful and inviti...

Cute and traditionally Parisian hotel in the heart of Saint Germain des Près! Amazing area for shopping, food, and culture
Hotel Odeon Saint Germain
Septime is true gastronomic experience! The regularly updated prix-fixe menu is incredible and service is out of this world. I'm willing to say that this is the best restaurant in Paris. Underrated, lowkey, but so worth it.

I'm not a big fan of eating American when on an international trip… but Breakfast in America is an exception. The food is incredible high-quality and delicious for a diner, and the vibes are immaculate. This is a must try!
Breakfast in America

If you love Cantonese duck, dumplings, fried rice, white rice, and all things authentic Asian food, then you MUST visit Mirama! I'm so happy I found this spot. Truly some of the best Chinese food I've had ever!

CHANTIER INTERDIT
NEXT BAR NIGHT (or The Next) in the 2nd arrondissement is the perfect venue for a night of dancing. The crowd is young, energetic, drinks are great, and the music is even better.

Faust is one of the most unique places you will ever visit! Built right under the Pont Alexandre III. Honestly, the location alone, right on the Seine with that iconic bridge overhead, is worth the visit. You get a completely different vibe depending...

The Palais de la Porte Dorée is a beautiful, imposing Art Deco masterpiece, but the real treasure is inside. The exhibit on immigration is handled with incredible sensitivity and depth, moving far beyond statistics to tell the personal, complex stori...

The Musée Picasso is housed in the stunning 17th-century Hôtel Salé in the Marais. The building itself is a work of art. The collection is fantastic because it's so comprehensive, showing the full range of Picasso's prolific career, including his pai...

The Musée d'Orsay is an essential Parisian experience. Housed in a former Beaux-Arts railway station, the building is as breathtaking as the art. The main focus is on French art from 1848 to 1914, making it the primary home for Impressionist and Post...
Musée d'Orsay
The Fête des Vendanges (Grape Harvest Festival) in Montmartre is a truly heartwarming and uniquely Parisian event. Every October, the streets around Sacré-Coeur transform into a massive celebration to honor the small but famous vineyard, the Clos Mon...
