How to eat like a local in France, Episode 286
When visiting France and important part of the experience is the food, isn't it? This is particularly true for my guest on today's episode, Michael Grove. He spends a lot of time in France and loves to try new restaurants. He spends a lot of time searching for the best ones and shares his method with all of us today.
But you have to know that most French people (like Annie) are not restaurant critics. We don't spend that much time worrying about where to eat. That's probably because we live in France full-time. We do go out for special occasions, but home cooking is still huge in France.
Nevertheless, while touring around France you might as well look for wonderful restaurant experiences. Listen to this episode to find out how you might go about doing that.
In this episode we also go through a round of is it true that in France you can't... Please don't make those incorrect assumptions even if you've heard them a million times!
Do you want to eat like a local in France? Here's how you do it! Have you ever heard of the Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants? These are the restaurants below one star, maybe working their way up to a star. Whatever they may be trying to achieve, they are definitely great places to eat! On that site you'll also find the Table Simple with an assiète (plate) symbol.
David Lebowitz is a great resource in English, so is Patricia Wells, their advice is very reliable. In French it's worth checking Gilles Pudlowski and Simon Says who writes for Le Monde. More are listed in the Guest Notes.
The Guide Vert is always a great resource and they have different guides for different parts of France, but most of them have not been translated into English.
Websites like Yelp or Trip Advisor are not ideal for France Americans like to read reviews and they use Yelp and Trip Advisor a lot. But French people don't choose restaurants like that, at least not in 2020. So who ends up leaving reviews of restaurants in France on Yelp? Americans and other visitors.
There's nothing wrong with that, but how do you know if they know anything about French food? Do they know what classic French dishes are supposed to taste like? They might give an average restaurant 5 stars because the staff was friendly. Again, there's nothing wrong with that, but you're not getting the local perspective.
There are some reviews in French on those sites, if you read them you'll have better luck.
How about historical restaurants? There are some wonderful historical restaurants in Paris such as Les Deux Magots, Brasserie Lipp, Café de Flore, Le Banaparte, Le Procope are in Saint Germain des Prés also. Sometimes they are a little bit overpriced, but it's worth it for the atmosphere.
In Montmartre at the confluence of Boulevard Raspail and Boulevard Montparnasse you'll find several other classic restaurants such as Le Dome, La Rotonde, Le Select, La Coupole, etc. There's also an Entrecôte Restaurant nearby. The Luxembourg Gardens are also walking distance from there.
The Bouillon restaurants are also classic. There are different ones in different parts of Paris. The most famous one is Bouillon Chartier (faubourg Montmartre, 9e arrondissement) where several movies were shot , but Annie likes Bouillon Racine (6e arrondissement), Bouillon Chartier Montparnasse (also 6e arrondissment), Bouillon Julien (10e arrondissement). Bouillon Pigale is fairly new unlike all the other ones.
How to eat like a local outside of Paris When in Lyon you must try a Bouchon restaurant and go to Les Halles. In Toulouse you must try the Victor Hugo market and restaurants upstairs. Le Pyrénéen a great seafood place in Toulouse. Have you ever tried Cassoulet? There are many great restaurants that serve it all over France. Remember that not every delicious restaurant is Instagram-worthy. In Marseilles you must try a Bouillabaisse as well as Tunisian and Moroccan food, couscous is a favorite. Michael likes a restaurant called Toinou for seafood. Chain restaurants ARE popular with French people Many Americans love TGI Friday's, Olive Garden and the Cheesecake Factory, right? Well, it's the same in France! French people patronize chain restaurants too. We don't have as many chain restaurants as what I saw when I lived in America, but have have a few that are pretty good. So if you want to eat like a local, you can't count them out, especially if you're driving in France.
L'Entrcôte has several restaurants both in Paris and outside of Paris and they all serve great steak-frites with a secret sauce. Chez Léon is a place for French fries, beer and mussels. You'll find it mostly in the north of France. Other chains that are good for people who are driving through France are Buffalo Grill, Hippopotamus, Courte-Paille, Autogrill, L'Arche, etc. You'll find them at freeway rest-stops and in the suburbs. These are places French people really enjoy because the food is predictable and good. They are...
