Planning notes for Paris

Must-try foods in Paris

• Steak Frites with Sauce au Poivre
  Steak Frites with Sauce au PoivreThe ultimate bistro classic featuring a pan-seared steak (often entrecôte or faux-filet) served with a generous portion of crispy, hand-cut golden fries. While variations exist, the 2026 trend favors the traditional peppercorn sauce or the secret herb-butter sauces found at legendary institutions like Le Relais de l'Entrecôte.
• Escargots de Bourgogne
  Escargots de BourgogneLand snails prepared in the traditional Burgundian style, baked in their shells with a rich, vibrant green stuffing of garlic, shallots, and fresh parsley blended into high-grade butter. Locals use specialized tongs and small forks to extract the snails, always using bread to soak up the remaining garlic butter.
• Paris-Brest
  Paris-BrestAn iconic pastry created in 1910 to commemorate the Paris-Brest-Paris bicycle race. It features a ring of airy choux pastry topped with flaked almonds and filled with a rich, praline-flavored mousseline cream. Modern versions in 2026 often include a hidden center of pure hazelnut praline for added texture.
• Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée
  Soupe à l'Oignon GratinéeA deep, savory French onion soup built on a base of caramelized onions and rich beef stock. It is famously topped with a thick slice of toasted baguette and a heavy layer of Comté or Gruyère cheese, which is then broiled until bubbly and browned (gratinée).
• Oeuf Mayo
  Oeuf MayoA humble yet beloved bistro starter that has seen a massive resurgence in 2026. It consists of perfectly soft-boiled eggs halved and draped in a thick, house-made mustard-heavy mayonnaise, often garnished with chives, piment d'Espelette, or occasionally truffle for a modern twist.
• Duck Confit (Confit de Canard)
  Duck Confit (Confit de Canard)A traditional dish where a duck leg is cured in salt and slow-cooked in its own fat until the meat is incredibly tender and the skin becomes shatteringly crisp. It is typically served with 'pommes sarladaises'—potatoes sautéed in duck fat with garlic and parsley.
