There may not be an abundance of children’s menus in Paris, but this doesn’t mean that families are relegated to McDonald’s. Our contributing advisors have put their heads together and come up with this list of places that please both children and parents alike – restaurants that feature simple food, kind service, proximity to open space, and/or good drink options for mom & dad. Their overall favorite: the Breizh Café.

Whether you’re a vegetarian, or someone who’s dating a vegetarian, you know that meatless options are hard to come by in this town. That’s especially true if you’re craving something that’s both French (skipping over some very good Italian and Asian options) and properly good. However, a handful of French tables manage to [...]
Where can you score some great oysters in Paris? We asked our contributing advisors – a group of food-obsessed Paris writers – to name their favorite spots for indulging in some half-shell love. The overall favorite: Huîtrerie Régis.
