One of the world’s most visited cities, Paris has something for everyone: from history and culture to fine food and good times. While it’s easy to get immersed in the timeless art and architecture that dot the city with instantly recognizable landmarks – the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre museum, the iconic Arc de Triomphe, dining in the French Capital can be an experience in itself. And whether you seek a cozy neighborhood bistro or a triple-Michelin-starred temple to gastronomy, you’ll find that every establishment prides itself on exquisite preparation and presentation of quality produce, invariably served with wine. Paris proffers plenty to polish off from enticing patisseries, boulangeries (bakeries), fromageries (cheese shops), and crowded, colorful street markets.

Anyone’s first step into the world of French cuisine usually starts with experimenting with French wine and cheese. But if you decide to look beyond, it’s not difficult to find a top French food to suit your palate. So the next time you fancy some quintessential French food, make sure to indulge is some of these gastronomic delights. Soupe à l’oignon (a traditional French soup made of onions and beef stock, usually served with croutons and melted cheese on top); Confit de canard (Duck meat is specially prepared using a century-old preserve and slow-cooking process); Ratatouille (a stewed vegetable recipe that can be served as a side dish, meal or stuffing for other dishes, such as crepes and omelets); Coq au vin (dish of chicken braised with wine, mushrooms, salty pork or bacon (lardons), onions, garlic and sometimes with a drop of brandy); Tarte Tatin (Dark and sticky caramel, sweet apples and crisp pastry combine to make this heavenly French dessert)
