Paris is a gourmand's dream come true, with bustling cafes, boisterous brasseries and elegant fine dining spots all competing for your Euros. Thankfully, they all share a devotion to ingredients and a long tradition of culinary excellence. The food in France is generally of very high quality, with even simple cafés taking pride in having good ingredients. Of course, it is expected that you wash down your meal with a carafe or bottle of wine. French table wine can be quite good in a bistro and generally what the locals drink, so enjoy and save up for a splurge at dinner. Meals are so important to the French that most employers give their workers Ticket Restaurants—vouchers to cover the cost of their lunchtime meals. With this in mind, many restaurants and cafés offer affordable three-course, prix fixe menus at lunch - just look for a sticker denoting a Ticket Restaurant. What you lose in choice—you will typically have only one or two main courses to choose from—you will make up for in value. |
