Today is a very exciting day for me today and a special episode for you as I’ve got some fabulous news. I’ve released my first-ever book. Paris A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most delicious city is my food guide to Paris.
This is a book years in the making and comes from my experiences in Paris from living there and eating through the city for you.
So what’s in the book, well it’s a food guide so of course there are recommendations for places to eat. In each place in the book I’ve eaten at, none have given a free meal or money to be in the book. They are all my recommendations based on the food I ate their, service, atmosphere, and above all their fabulousness because we all know that my motto is whatever you do, do it fabulously and they all certainly do.
There are 379 recommendations, 17 boulangeries, 28 cafes, 11 chocolate shops, 13 Fromageries, 15 markets or marches as they’re called in French, 17 patisseries, 172 restaurants, and 27 wine bars. But there are also food streets, gourmet and kitchen supply stores and so much more.
Going to Paris can be daunting for some and they don't know where to stay. In the guide, I’ve devoted a whole section to this with information about certain areas and arrondissements to help you choose the right place to stay.
Throughout the guide there are also tips for you and one of those tips is about how to find good food in Paris. This is a city that gets tens of millions of visitors every year so feeding them is a mammoth feat and one that doesn’t always cater to foodies like us. Looking for good food is often best done by locals and so that’s where some of my core tips here are from. In fact, many recommendations in this book were given to me by local French and expats like myself but probably more from the French.
For three years after being on MasterChef Australia and before moving to France, I ran a walking tours business in Melbourne called Queenies Food Tours. We had five different walking tours and in those three years, I showed personally over 4,000 people some great food in Melbourne. So in this guide, I’ve got three walking tours for you, one food-focused tour and two area-focused, 7th Arrondissement and Montmartre area tours. I hope you enjoy doing them when in Paris.
My Top Ten Restaurants in Paris are included in the guide and it was really hard to narrow these down to just ten restaurants. But I did it. One of them isn’t in Paris though, well sort of, one is in Versailles and is a place I found before they had a Michelin star and used to be in a smaller location. One of those places you just walk past and think I will try that for lunch, why not, walk in, ask for a table thinking they will say they are fully booked, sit down and think I'm not dressed right for this restaurant, and then having the most amazing meal, fantastic service and an experience I’ve been fortunate to bring many people back to over the last nearly ten years now. I hope you can go there and experience it as well.
At the end of the book is a listing of each recommendation in the book by arrondissement. This is something you never think of but perfect for you if you are in an arrondissement or area where you do not know what lunch, coffee, dinner, or even some cheese.
Non-foodie things and foodie things to do in Paris are included in the book, I couldn’t help but give you some extra tips from ones that have been in my YouTube series for you.
