25 of the best bistros, cafes, boulangeries, and more essential spots in the City of Light.
Taverna
Taverna is a modern Greek restaurant in Oberkampf that’s perfect for a group dinner of big shared plates.

Vecchio is an Italian-American restaurant in the 11th that’s great for some pasta and NYC-style pizza.
Oktobre
If you're looking for a restaurant that’s a bit more modern than most of the other spots in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, head to Oktobre.

Maison Aleph
This Middle Eastern bakery is great for a sweet treat while wandering around the Marais or Montmartre.
