I think this may be the French version of Appleby's but when my wife and I went in the 90s we loved this place called the hippopotamus.

My wife and I are going to Paris in the spring of 2024.
Should we make reservations ahead of time? How far out?

We will have a concierge to help us when there.

From experience I’ve enjoyed the basics like an omelette or jambon beurre more than anything else.

Should you make reservations in one of the best, most competitive food cities on earth?

Yes. Yes you should.

You should research the restaurants you want to go to and find out when they take them. And book them that day. Your concierge should know.

For instance I think Septime is something like exactly 30 days in advance and they are booked for the day within minutes.

Le Petit Prince de Paris - typical French cuisine
L'As Du Fallafel - Jewish cuisine like falafel, shawarma, etc

Also try some of the Moroccan food. Can't remember any specific restaurant but merguez and couscous is a great ethnic dish that can be found all over France.

Forgot to add, go to a fromagerie and get some Valençay cheese. Thank me later.



Best thing to do is buy a few different types of cheeses, breads, and wines and experiment how the different flavors from fermentation pair with each other.

Boulingerie Republic or the other one near Moulin Rouge are good.

Le Chat Noir sucked though.

We just wondered into random restaurants that looked good or got recos from tour guides.. Left the phones off.

Everything was amazing, but that’s Paris.

I second this place. There are a few locations throughout Paris (I ate at the one nearest the Eiffel Tower) but had a nice mixture of locals and tourists. Food was sublime and very reasonable price wise.

I ate at the hippopotamus in Verona, Italy.

Loved it. One of my fondest memories.
