Every other street corner in central Paris seems to have a tiny bistro or café, and some streets are dedicated to nothing but restaurants. These restaurant areas are where you should hunt for that perfect Parisian dining experience. You'll eat three meals a day during your trip to Paris, and you'll spend a significant proportion of your travel budget on food, so it's important to know about French food habits, etiquette, prices, and places to eat before you arrive in Paris. In France, a meal is as much a ceremony as it is a necessity, so you should observe the rules of French restaurant and café etiquette. BreakfastThe traditional spot for breakfast in Paris is a sidewalk café, unless breakfast is included in the price of your hotel room. More... Lunch & DinnerAs for lunch and dinner, you can have those in a café, restaurant, a market, or a picnic.
Some restaurants have service non-stop or service continu. Others have regular mealtimes, usually 11:00 am to 3:00 pm and 7 to 11 pm. A restaurant may choose any day or part of a day to close, so be sure to check the hours of operation. If you want a quick meal outside of regular mealtimes, go to a café.
