Of all the foodie countries in the world, France and its capital Paris are for sure among the most distinguished and important places. There is no other city in the western hemisphere with most Michelin Stars – heck, this is the place where Michelin Stars were born!
Besides that, Paris boasts an extremely high number of middle class restaurants, French Brasseries and simple but good places to eat. All of these culinary destinations are a resemblance of the deeply ingrained French tradition of gastronomy.
Enjoy – but don’t get lost.
