Must for "Foodies"

Always the most reliable guide to Paris restaurants. Of course, it helps that it is hard to eat poorly in Paris.

Yes, it is in French, but even with poor French comprehension you'll get essential information regarding quality, specialties, and prices.

My wife and I have used it on numerous trips- in France it has never let us down.

Essential

Using symbols whose meanings are explained both in French and English, this Paris guide lists hotels and restaurants in Paris and its near suburbs. The rankings are reliable, if not 100% comprehensive. Textual descriptions for all entries were added in recent years. Although they are only in French it tends to be fairly straight-forward (as opposed to other guides that use more inaccessable slang or cutesy locutions).

For those who are interested in exploring the restaurants of Paris there are infinite resources. The Michelin Guide Rouge is the backstop, though. It is organized by arrondissements, i.e., neighborhoods, in Paris, but also sorts restaurants and hotels by categories such as good value meals, inexpensive hotels, restaurants featuring certain dishes, and--these can be important--restaurants open throughout the summer and restaurants open on Sunday.

One shortcoming: the arrondissement maps are accurate but not as detailed as a true Paris street map. Those will cost about as much as this book, but they will be useful to you during those parts of the day you are not eating as well.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK...

unless you speak French, which I do not. How annoying.
