You can probably tell that here at Paris Perfect, we love absolutely everything about Paris.
But there are few things that get us excited more than the food of Paris. French cuisine is revered worldwide for very good reasons – and many of those reasons have their roots firmly infused in the country’s delicious capital city.
Anyone visiting Paris cannot fail to be bowled over by the wealth of beautiful pastries, magnificent breads and fine cheeses, meats and cooking techniques that they find there. Tartes aux fruits, tarte tatins, cassoulets, confits… the list is endless.
Paris food has many devotees, some of whom have gained a significant degree of celebrity among Paris enthusiasts, such as chef and author David Lebovitz and Chocolate & Zucchini’s Clotilde Dusoulier.
We spend a lot of time scouring the web for tasty morsels of detail about Paris food (as well as Paris in general!) and we’ve come across several more Paris food bloggers whose insight we greatly admire.
So we’ve put together a list of our favorite foodie blogs for you to sample and savor:
Simon Says
http://francoissimon.typepad.fr/english/
French food critic Francois Simon contributes to several publications and also has his own television show. His food and lifestyle blog is governed by a strict set of rules concerning the recommendation of restaurants, including that all meals reviewed are paid for; and restaurants are not informed that they are being assessed. This reassures readers that Simon’s account of a venue’s quality can be trusted. If he says a Paris restaurant is worth a visit, you’d be silly to miss it.
