Restaurants in Paris

�I love Paris in the springtime� goes the song but, if you can take the heat, August is a very good time to go, as many of the Parisians have gone on holiday and it is perfect for finding a restaurant in Paris where you can eat outside, it�s what actor John Malkovitch does. September isn�t bad either as the Parisians are back from their holidays with their batteries recharged and the tourists hopefully have dropped off a bit so you will find a good bistro or brasserie that won�t be too crowded.

You don�t have to go without the beach either as the Paris authorities have created a beach and swimming pool along the Seine, complete with palm trees.

There are so many places to eat in the capital city of the �Haute Cuisine� country which range from the grand restaurants with 3 Michelin stars via the large brasseries, to the humble bistros, but do not be fooled; even the most humble eaterie will have great food because the Parisians are a discerning bunch of eaters. A tip to wise, if you are out and hungry, just look for the brasserie that has a crowd of locals and you can pretty much bet that the food is pretty good.

For those who take a more structured approach to their eating we have supplied a list of restaurants in Paris that encompasses all those categories, the one thing they all have in common is that you will find them interesting in both food and d�cor. Sadly if you are vegetarian, like me, you will find a limited bill of fare but the omlettes are great. If you are vegan, you are in the wrong country.
