Parisian restaurants offer a truly international selection of gastronomic delights. But where do you go for the best of every cuisine -- and for the best value?

This handy restaurant guide gives you the answers on a plate: not only where to get the best of sixty favorite menus -- classic French, couscous, cassoulet, pasta, paella, seafood, game, and many more -- but also where you can find the perfect setting -- with a view of the Seine, surrounded by countryside, by a roaring log fire, in a museum, in a night-club, etc. The guide describes the best establishments, and also tells you which ones to avoid. The index at the back of the book is arranged in four parts to give the reader a choice of access to the information by category: district, alphabetical order, price range, and by individual speciality dish.

Whatever your desire for culinary delicacies, atmosphere, value-for-money, or location, Gourmet Paris provides the ultimate guide for anyone visiting or living in the French capital.
