$25.00

Expected March 3, 2026. Available for pre-order now!

Bon Appétit Paris isn’t just about where to eat—it’s about how to eat like a Parisian. Journalist and food lover Mara Grimm draws on years of experience living in the city to chart a delicious day of dining, from morning croissants to late afternoon apéros. The result is part culinary guide, part cultural decoding manual, and entirely irresistible.

Organized around a typical “journée gourmande,” the book follows the rhythm of real Parisian meals: petit déjeuner, déjeuner, goûter, apéro, and dîner. Along the way, Grimm answers essential questions such as, “what’s the difference between a brasserie and a bistro? When do you eat macarons? What drink pairs best with a planche apéro? And how exactly do you deal with a French waiter?” Her voice is authoritative, stylish, and full of practical charm. She offers etiquette tips, expert insights, and more than 80 carefully selected addresses across all 20 arrondissements—plus a handful of classic recipes to try in your own kitchen.

Readers will also learn how to spot a proper baguette, avoid tourist traps, and experience the city’s edible rituals with confidence and curiosity. Featuring more than 220 luscious color photographs and a compact, handbag-friendly design, 
Bon Appétit Paris is essential reading for travelers, food lovers, and anyone dreaming of the French capital—whether they’re on a plane or in their living rooms.
