The Best Casual Restaurants in Paris

Excellent seafood restaurant - never had a bad meal here. Beautiful seafood tower and seasonal cooking. Clamato is a classic institution I really like. It's right next to Septime that has become famous and hard to get a table at, so going to Clamato next door is a good alternative as they don't take reservations. It’s an excellent seafood restaurant and I've never had a bad meal there. They're known for their beautiful seafood tower and I definitely always get that and just a some cooked seafood and shellfish that they offer. Clamato’s menu is a good reflection of what's in the ocean at the moment.

Fun, delicious and creative modern cuisine in one of the most famous Parisian bistroThe sense of fulfilment that you feel eating Septime creations is directly correlated to the difficulty in being able to book a table in this small and famous Parisian bistro.Here I finally found the fun of a creative modern cuisine, right proportions that amaze without tiring, those beautiful harmonies between acidity, bitterness, smoked and spiciness that make you think with great enthusiasm 'I want more!'.A lunch full of emotions, wow dishes and joy that I will hardly forget!

The must go place for me in Paris. The food is super well executed. Le Servan is the must-go place for me in Paris and there is not a visit to Paris when I would skip a meal here. This bistro, run by sisters Tatiana and Katia Levha, mixes a little bit of French straightforwardness with an Asian twist as the Levha sisters are half Filipino. The food is super well executed. For me, this is the best lunch or dinner destination in Paris if you’re not going for a three-star meal.

A must in Paris, proper bistro cuisineRaquel's and Pinuche’s house in Belleville, a must-do when you’re in Paris as they serve proper bistro cuisine. Chef Raquel is like a mother to chefs somehow. She has a few signature dishes, try the cervelle and ris de veau which are always on the menu. The food is served with beautiful natural wines, ask for recommendations! The wines are incredible. It's really pretty and really French, both the atmosphere and the cuisine. Some people would say the service is very Parisian but you could also say the service is 100% no bullshit. It’s what you expect from a French restaurant, right? Nobody's gonna come every two minutes to ask you if you're enjoying your dish, because of course you are. They don't sugarcoat anything in this restaurant. Definitely one of my favorites, I really love this place.

Classic Bistro vibes with elevated comfort foodA modern Parisian bistro serving out French classics, elevated through ingredients and techniques. The menu is very well thought out, wine selection is very strong and the service is friendly and attentive. If you are looking for relaxed vibes with food that is going to make you smile from the inside, Parcelles should go up high on your list!

Excellent and you can have it for lunchThe food is very creative and I found it to be quite unique. I always prefer lunches over dinners and was so happy to have a 2 starred lunch! My photos will do the talking for this review.

Classic French bistrot serving phenomenal peppered steak I will forever remember this steak as some of the best we have ever had. Paul Bert is our go- to when in Paris & always blown away with our meal. Traditional french cooking, small menu & a lot of rich sauces. Great execution of all dishes - spectacular offal & pigeon. Sitting on a busy street of Paris, Paul Bert is the ultimate Parisian bistrot. No tourists in sight.

No visit to Paris is complete for me without a stop at Mokonuts cafe. The loving and talented owners are to die for . The products are first class and treated with care and commitment. Also don’t leave without ordering a miso cookie

Top thai restaurant in the heart of Belleville in Paris! Authentic, real flavours and cozy atmosphere. A perfect Sunday spot.

Filling, affordable and oh-so-satisfying.Slinging some of the best lahmacun your Euro can buy, this tiny Kurdish sandwich shop on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis in the 10th arrondissement has been open for over 15 years. From the hand-rolled dough to the wood burning charcoal grill, everything is cooked to order and assembled right in front of you. The charred savour and crisp-come-soft chew of the homemade bread is something to write home about.The straightforward menu offers a handful of dürüm, including ground beef, free range chicken, lamb and lamb's liver, as well as a vegetarian option. Take your pick, you can't go far wrong whichever path you choose. However, leave without a lahmacun in hand at your own peril: lamb mince and spice and everything nice - AKA tomato, parsley and onion.A must-visit when in Paris!

A very long standing brasserie with so many well executed classic dishes such as pigeon, classic apple tarts, marinated herring in a clay pot.

Classic Parisian Bistro with a true atmosphereA true Parisian classic that doesn’t take itself for granted. Although being one of the most popular bistros In France Le Bon George keeps on delivering top class food and service. The staff is happy, dedicated and knowledgeable about all ingredients in the menu and the extensive wine list. Le Bon George is a happy place that everyone should visit at least once.

Everything that you would expect on a 3* journeyEverything that you would expect on a 3* journey. Amazing sauces with incredible hospitality and wine card to envy even the most knowledgeable sommelier out there.

Quintessential Pub Style Bar The Cambridge Public House is the quintessential pub style bar offering phenomenal cocktails and freshly baked snacks. Upon entering the bar, one is immediately welcomed by the fragrance of freshly baked pastry. Their homemade sausage rolls and pies are the perfect savoury snack to enjoy alongside some impressive cocktails. The bar offers unique and creative cocktails with flavours ranging from sweet and creamy to bold, savoury and tangy. The Panais Colada is highly recommended; an audacious twist on the classic Pina Colada. Instead, the Panais Colada is made with parsnip, cream, dark rum and velvet falernum. It's a more refreshing version, when compared to the typically over-sweet coconut version, boasting creamy earthy flavours. Another fabulous cocktail was the Kiwi Gyan - a tangy, fun, green concoction of kiwi, lemon, maraschino cherries and rum. The mixologists will keep you entertained with their fascinating and impressive cocktail making skills. The menu changes periodically giving one the option to visit on every trip to Paris.

Hole in the wall seafood heavenTwo tables of six plus a small counter. Super fresh, seasonable, sustainably sourced and extremely reasonably priced shellfish and fish with a daily changing menu. Mostly natural wines, noisy & fun wibe. Olive Davoux’s über-tiny place in the northern Paris (10th arr) is not for everyone. If you are looking for peace and privacy, don´t go here. Sur Mer is all about passion and buzz. But where the atmosphere might be a bit rough, what´s on a plate is all about sophistication. Lovely place.

Fun natural wine bar, rock and roll vibe and a la carte menus by guest chefs from NYC, Sweden, etc.Imagine you live in an urban loft with an open kitchen, your famous best chef friend is on the pass, you invite all your closest pals, pop bottles of wine and crank the music. No wonder the talk of the town right now is Victor Vautier & Camille Machet’s Early June where it is literally standing room only. For just over a year, they’ve been hosting world chefs as a “pop up” concept in their pretty resto-natural wine bar just off the Canal St Martin. The Owners are polished hospitality pros; creating a DJ-dinner party vibe during service, while each chef-in-residence brings their own style using seasonal French product from the open kitchen. A la carte menus change weekly and wines are chosen just as carefully as the food – only low-intervention dependent wine producers are on offer. Walk-in’s only with reservations for groups 4+. Tip: Go early or go late. ©️ luuuush

this is a small Vietnamese joint in the 3rd—they only have two things on the menu: pho bo and bo bun. It feels like you’re in Saigon, and is perfect fuel for a pre-Pompidou stroll

In today’s episode of When Average Photos Happen to the World’s Great Sandwiches: the poulet en pot au feu mayo salade at Chezaline. Poached chicken, carrots, celery, lettuce, really good mayo, outstanding baguette. Is this the best sandwich in France? I don’t know, but I can tell you that it’s really fucking tasty.

A self confident place run by great sommeliers that both have a huge well selected wine list and a kitchen that serves dishes in a no fuzz modern classic style.
