Planning tips: Restaurants in Paris

Where to look
Many of Paris's most popular restaurants are found in Le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Montmartre, the Canal Saint-Martin and the 8th arrondissement around the Champs-Élysées.
When to go
April to June and September to October bring mild weather and fewer crowds than July and August.
Prices & tipping
Prices are in euros; service is included in the bill in France, so tipping is a small extra rather than an obligation.
Getting around
The Métro and RER reach almost every neighbourhood, and central districts are easy to explore on foot.
Good to know
For in-demand restaurants, reserve several days or weeks in advance, especially for weekend dinners.
