French food is ridiculous! We had some unbelievable food and tried some classically french dishes. We actually were blown away especially by one of the restaurants we went to, and bowed in respect to their rich history and ability to cook. YUM!

6 Rue Coquilliere, Paris

This restaurant has been around for the LONGEST time; they literally have not closed their doors since 1947. They are a 24 hour restaurant, but we went for lunch instead of in the wee hours. Everyone around us was eating the same thing; we enjoyed ourselves but it wasn’t the greatest. We think we didn’t really understand the dishes that were popular there (a little bit too out there maybe?) but it was a fun experience!

We had:
Soupe a l’oignon gratinee (french onion soup) (9 Euros): It was a flavourful onion brothy type soup topped with like a floating cloud of CHEESE. It was yummy in small doses but there was no way we could finish it even though we shared! Our french counterparts around us demolished one of these each though!

Escargot (9.50 Euros for 6): If the thought of snails creeps you out, know that the French cook them with LOTS of delicious garlic butter so it’s downright tasty.

Pied de cochon grille bernaise (21.50 Euros): So this is a specialty in this restaurant that serves all things pork, but gosh we didn’t know how to eat this! Served as a big pig trotter, it looked tasty enough but cutting in, a trotter is mainly cartilage and fat and we were a little unaccustomed and creeped out by it. We nibbled on bits but it wasn’t quite our cup of tea!
– Le Relais De l’Entrecote –

15 Rue Marbeuf, Paris

This was the best experience! A restaurant that serves ONE DISH; steak frites with special green sauce. (26.50 Euros per person) It comes in 2 rounds so that they keep the steak hot, and everything is sooooo tasty. If you want something else, too bad haha they only serve one thing. Come hungry and don’t you dare refuse the second round of steak!
– Auberge Pyrenees Cevennes –

We came here to try the duck cassoulet but didn’t really record any sound or anything. It came in this giant pot and they give you SO MUCH FOOD. The duck comes cooked like 4 ways, some of it’s braised, some of it has more texture but it’s a very famous and delicious comfort food dish.
We also had their creme brulee which was BOMB here!!!

117 Rue du Cherche-Midi, Paris

Alright. It’s hard to put into words what this place was to us. You can probably see it in our faces that we were a bit dumbfounded and speechless as we enjoyed this meal. It was the best meal we had potentially over every country we went to, and we would go back to Paris just to eat here again. That’s saying a lot! Book in advance, you don’t wanna miss out.

We had:
Duck Confit: the most perfect duck we’ve ever had. It really sounds like we’re exaggerating but we’re not. It was SO good; the fatty deliciousness and melt in your mouth tastiness.

Beef Bourgignon: we honestly thought this was going to be just like any beef stew. We remember even saying how good could it really be? Famous last words really. They serve it with pasta which was the perfect accompaniment as it stuck to all the sauce and didn’t overpower the dish. Yum.

Grand Marnier Souffle: like eating air clouds. It tasted like an alcoholic meringue but it disappeared the second you put it in your mouth. We haven’t eaten that many souffles in our lifetime, but this one set the standard too high.

Can’t recommend enough!!!

Love,
Uel & Shannelle
