Must-try traditional foods & drinks

What to order in Paris, France, with a fun fact for each

Traditional Savory Dishes

Coq au vin

Coq au vin

Coq au vin began as peasant comfort,tough rooster slowly braised in wine until meltingly tender,and Parisian chefs elevated it into a glossy, deeply flavored emblem of rustic French haute cuisine.

Ratatouille

Ratatouille

Ratatouille started as a humble Provençal vegetable stew, but a refined, thinly sliced reinvention (often called "confit byaldi") and the Pixar film 'Ratatouille' helped turn it into a celebrated example of culinary artistry.

Escargots

Escargots

Escargots have been eaten in France for centuries and, in Paris, they’re a tiny theatrical experience: snails returned to their shells, smothered in garlicky parsley butter and served with special tongs for extracting the bite.

Traditional Sweet Dishes

Crème brûlée

Crème brûlée

Crème brûlée,literally "burnt cream",is famous for its crackable caramel top, which Parisian chefs once made by heating sugar with a red‑hot iron, making that first tap an instant, dramatic pleasure.

Macaron

Macaron

The Parisian macaron as we know it,a delicate sandwich of two almond meringue shells with a flavored ganache,was popularized by Ladurée in the early 20th century and became a colorful, collectible fashion statement.

Tarte Tatin

Tarte Tatin

Tarte Tatin was reportedly born in the 1880s when the Tatin sisters accidentally caramelized apples before baking the tart upside‑down; the result became a Paris bistro classic with the fruit gloriously displayed on top.

Traditional Beverages

Wine

Wine

Paris may not grow many grapes, but it is the beating heart of French wine culture,home to historic wine bars, tasting salons and lively debates where sommeliers turn every meal into a lesson in pairing.

Pastis

Pastis

Pastis, the aniseed aperitif that surged in popularity after absinthe’s ban, is traditionally diluted with water until it turns milky white in a ritual called the 'louche',a leisurely Parisian way to start the evening.
