Must-Follow Food Bloggers From Paris, France

You couldn’t be in better hands for restaurant recommendations in Paris than from a blog created by two food lovers.

A very professional-looking website, you can search for places to go by cuisine type, budget or place, making the search for the perfect dinner spot for dinner much easier. Finding fine food has never been easier.

If your French food vocab isn’t quite up to scratch, you’ll be in safe hands with Philadelphia born, Lindsey Tramuta, who, despite not being a Parisian from birth, would fool most with her impressive array of restaurant recommendations.

While they are brief in description (often with only just a link to the restaurant’s website), they are among some of the coolest hang-outs across the city.

‘Le bonheur c’est facile, ça se mange‘ (Happiness is easy, it’s eating), stands proud at the top of each page of Raphaële’s blog, and after taking a look at some of the content, you’ll be quick to agree with her. Resembling a traditional blog, it has a simple layout and quirky illustrations. En Rang D’oignons is diverse, and showcases that passion for good food we all associate with the French. With a wide selection of restaurants from street-food to Michelin Stars, En Rang D’oignons is refreshing in its modesty and has some great traditional, authentically French suggestions that any tourist would be hard set trying to find alone. A real Parisian friend on a web page, Raphaële is sure to keep you well away from those tourist traps.

For those fancy pants among you, Clotilde’s Critiques Et Confidences is more like a work of art than a food blog. Featuring reviews, write-ups and of course, photos – and lots of them – from some of the finest places in town such as the prestigious Le Meurice, Clotilde opens the doors to a luxurious foodie-paradise. This is high-end dining at its best, and the plated masterpieces on show almost look too good to eat, so delicate are they in their finesse. You can search by arrondissement, but sadly not budget, so be sure to choose carefully. With interviews with top chefs also featured, Clotilde gets you on the insiders A-List of the Parisian foodie scene, online, at least.

A charming, simply navigable blog which will get your French food adventure off to a fine start indeed.

‘Not a crumb left on the plate’ will have you leaving just that, a motto Émilie, founder of the blog, lives by.

By sharing her fabulous recipes, trendy places to go in Paris, and even a selection of hipster places to shop for all your #glutenfree goodies, she hopes to get you understanding just why it is you’ll never find a crumb left on any plate of hers.
