The main reason I love Paris is the incredible mix of cultures. The diversity in this city creates a vibrant atmosphere that, combined with the stunning Haussmannian architecture, transports you to another world.

One major perk of this cultural fusion is the opportunity to discover a wide variety of cuisines from around the globe! From Middle Eastern and North African to Asian cuisine, you can literally find ANYTHING you’re craving. Now, let me share four non-French restaurants that I can’t wait to revisit when I’m back in Paris! (There was one Iranian restaurant I absolutely LOVED, but sadly, it has closed…)

Before I begin, let me share a small but very helpful tip to score a discount on your meal! Download an app called “TheFork” (or “LaFourchette” in French), where you can find a variety of restaurants. The ONLY thing you need to do is make a reservation before you enter the restaurant, and you could save up to 50%! No joke, anyone can use it! What’s better is that you DON’T need to book a day in advance — just make sure to complete the reservation on the spot, before you step inside. When it’s time to pay, simply show your booking confirmation on the app, and you’ll thank me later !

*Some of the more popular restaurants will fill up quickly, so if you have a shortlist of places to try, it’s better to check their availability in advance!
