Whenever I travel around the world, I like to plan everything accordingly. A few years back, when I decided to visit Paris, I did an intense research on all the food that Parisians offer.
I also made a list of all the delicious food which you can taste if you ever have the amazing opportunity to visit the beautiful city of Paris. When I sat down to make this list, I could not believe that Paris offers such ridiculously delicious food. And how do you decide which of them are best? Well by going there and trying them all!
Below is the list of the best food which I tasted during my trip :
1.Baguette, Pain au chocolat et aux raisins, and Pastries
Visiting Paris and not tasting its pastries is simply not acceptable. I was lucky to be settled in a hotel which was opposite a bakery. I made the most and bought a lot of superior bread and baked good on a daily basis. If you are visiting Paris, try their succulent baguette and pain aux chocolat. Paris is famous for its pastries. Find yourself a quality Boulanger and enjoy your baked goodies everyday. Have croissant for breakfast and puff pastries as desserts.
2. Caramels
Rich in buttery flavor, these little treats are going to change your views on sweets.There are no words to describe how good caramel sweets are. When I came back from that beautiful city, I presented all my friends with boxes full of caramels and watched as their expression changed when they first tasted those sweets. Their eyes lit up as they savored each and every bit of that french delicacy.
3. Macarons
Spelled macaroons in America, the ones that you find in France is said to have been invented by Laduree in the early 20th century. I have to admit that the Laduree ones are delicious. Macarons are basically a mering-like shell that sandwiches buttercream or jam filling. It’s a must try dish in Paris.
4 .Falafel
Who thought that Paris was home to an unbelievable falafel place? People there describe the falafel sandwiches as the best in the world. Since I had falafel sandwiches before, I can assure you that it was indeed the best. It consisted of eggplants, tahini sauce, pickled cucumbers, red cabbage and sauce piquante. It is the perfect option for lunch.
5. Bordier Butter
If you are wondering if you need to have butter in Paris, then, the answer is yes, you really need to taste this butter. Once you taste La Beurre Bordier, you will switch to it permanently. This butter is the smoothest and richest in flavor. It will literally blow your mind. Be prepared to eat baguette after baguette just to taste this butter.
.6.Chocolate
