Your backstage pass to a true Parisian day of gustatory delights, this savvy insider’s guide uncovers where to eat, what to order, and how to blend in while doing it. Bon Appétit Paris isn’t just about where to eat—it’s about how to eat like a Parisian. Journalist and food lover Mara Grimm draws on years of experience living in the city to chart a delicious day of dining, from morning croissants to late afternoon apéros. The result is part culinary guide, part cultural decoding manual, and entirely irresistible. Organized around a typical “journée gourmande,” the book follows the rhythm of real Parisian meals: petit déjeuner, déjeuner, gouter, apéro, and dîner. Along the way, Grimm answers essential questions such as, “what’s the difference between a brasserie and a bistro? When do you eat macarons? What drink pairs best with a planche apéro? And how exactly do you deal with a French waiter?” Her voice is authoritative, stylish, and full of practical charm. She offers etiquette tips, expert insights, and more than 80 carefully selected addresses across all 20 arrondissements—plus a handful of classic recipes to try in your own kitchen. Readers will also learn how to spot a proper baguette, avoid tourist traps, and experience the city’s edible rituals with confidence and curiosity. Featuring more than 220 luscious color photographs and a compact, handbag-friendly design, Bon Appétit Paris is essential reading for travelers, food lovers, and anyone dreaming of the French capital—whether they’re on a plane or in their living rooms.
