L’atelier Dürüm
📍 Location: 41 rue de Clignancourt
First up a Turkish address that is a recent French favorite in the 18th, here you’ll find the chefs working the dough of the Dürüms right in the window! Dürüm is a filled galette with meat, salad, tomatoes, parsley, and red onions. From French chicken to lamb, feta, vegan options, and even lamb liver version: the delicious sandwich is enjoyed in various mouthwatering variations, each as delectable as the other.
The aroma alone has people flocking to grab a bite. They have places to sit inside but the boroks and lahmacuns along with the famous dürüms are the kind of food that is made to be enjoyed whether you’re sitting and savoring or rushing back to work (or to your cooking class).
Glace Room
📍 4 Rue de la Roquette, 75011 Paris
Incredible gelato, and the owner is an absolute gem. Our intern Jacey gave it her seal of approval, making it one of her hidden gems in Paris. Perfectly nestled among fantastic shops, cafés, and restaurants.
Boulangerie du Moulin de la Galette
📍 Location: 48 rue Caulaincourt – 75018
Hit up Boulangerie du Moulin de la Galette for a baguette that’ll make you forget all about your diet. Their pastries? A flaky, buttery ticket to bliss. Perfect for munching while you explore or for a quick, delicious bite that screams Paris. You might even recognise this place from the film Julie & Julia!
Pierre Herme Macarons & Chocolats
📍 Location: 13 rue du Mont-Cenis
Pierre Hermé is the spot for when you want to snack fancy. With the new address in Montmartre you can pop a macaron (or three) as you stroll towards your next patisserie class to get inspired, and let those flavors do a happy dance on your palate. It’s street food glamorized, with a side of chocolate because, why not? You should take a chocolate class while in Paris to understand the work that goes into these delicious bites.
Jambon-Beurre at Racines Montmartre
📍 5 Rue du Cloître, 75018 Paris
A perfect jambon-beurre is a rite of passage in Paris, and at Racines Montmartre, they nail it. The butter is silky, the ham is melt-in-your-mouth good, and the baguette is so crisp, you’ll hear it before you taste it. They specialise in local cheese and charcuterie so you can grab a sandwich or a platter!
For the ultimate Parisian street food moment, grab one and stroll through Montmartre like you own the place.

Boulangerie Paris & Co – The Ultimate Flan
📍 4 Rue de la Convention, 75015 Paris & 49 Rue de la Gaîté, 75014 Paris
Flan is the dessert Parisians are obsessed with, and at Boulangerie Paris & Co, they take it to another level. Thick, custardy, and available in flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and pistachio, it’s proof that sometimes simplicity is perfection.
Arnaud Lahrer
📍 Location: 53 rue Caulaincourt Paris, 75018
One of the meilleur ouvriers de France, his patisseries are a delight, grab a sweet bite from his Montmartre location and judge for yourself if he’s one of the best craftsmen of France!
Boneshaker Donuts
📍 86 Rue d’Aboukir, 75002 Paris
Who says street food can’t be sweet? At Boneshaker, donuts get the Parisian treatment—handmade, rich, and outrageously delicious.
Try the vegan peanut butter brownie or the salted butter caramel donut, and prepare for a sugar rush worth every bite. Plus, it’s one of the best places to support women-owned businesses in Paris, making every indulgence that much sweeter.
Gontran Cherrier
📍 Location: 22 rue Caulaincourt, 75018
The star baker always has a new creation with sandwiches from bread with flavors like curry, squid, and delicious pastries, and bagels.
Navel
📍Location: 4, rue de Suez, 75018
Don’t be put off by the busy area, this Indian restaurant is a little jewel on a side street off the Chateau Rouge fruit and vegetable market. Drop by for some homemade Nan bread and chicken curry all under 10 Euros.
Pizza di Loretta
📍 Location: 122 Rue Caulaincourt 75018 Paris
Pizza by the weight is now nothing new in Paris but this gem which now has two locations will always be on my top 10 list. You can now even order it from Deliveroo but better be planning a large party! This little Paris bijou has now opened several outlets throughout the city. Including one in our very own Montmartre.
La Crème de Paris
📍 Read our chef’s review of the best crêpes & waffles with a view of Notre Dame
No trip to Paris is complete without a perfectly golden crêpe or a fluffy, indulgent waffle, and what better way to enjoy it than with an unbeatable view of Notre Dame? This spot is not just about the scenery—it’s about the flavors, too. Whether you go for a classic butter and sugar crêpe or a decadent waffle dripping in chocolate, every bite feels like a little piece of Parisian heaven.
Gustave Claps
📍Location: 21 rue Henry Monnier, 75009 Paris
Situated in the famed “Sopi” area (South of Pigalle) go to Gustave’s when you are craving a fresh sandwich. But more than a sandwich it’s like a meal with a great selection such as Pastrami, Fish, Beef and Marinated Chicken served with lots of garnish in a yummy flatbread.
Food Trucks
📍Location: Marché St. Honoré.
Cantine California is one of Paris’ first food trucks serving burgers, tacos and homemade desserts all from organic ingredients.
Boco
📍 Location: 3 rue Danielle-Casanova, 75001
A fabulous concept with 8 Michelin star Chef’s creating the lunch menu with organic French dishes served in a “bocal”, small glass jars. They have 4 locations in Paris and you can enjoy dishes from “croque-monsieur” to Veal stew always fresh and delicious.
Street, Bangkok Local Food
📍 Location: 3 Rue Eugène Varlin, 75010
A taste of the night markets of Bangkok in the city of light. This small eatery offers both eat-in and takeaway. Grab your lunch (or dinner), and grab a seat along the Canal Saint-Martin with other locals.
Pere & Fish
📍 Location: 67 Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, 75009
Maybe a fishy burger doesn’t sound great when you say it like that…but I can vouch for this place and their delicious dresh sandwiches. While this is definitely for your cheat day (you’re in Paris so that’s every day 😉) you can wash it down with their home made citronnade.
Marché des Enfants Rouges – The Best of Everything
📍 39 Rue de Bretagne, 75003 Paris
If choosing just one street food option feels impossible, Marché des Enfants Rouges has your back. This historic covered market is a global food paradise, offering everything from Lebanese falafel to fresh sushi, Italian paninis, and French duck confit sandwiches.
The real challenge? Not ordering one of everything!
Paris isn’t just about Michelin stars and three-hour meals—some of its best bites come wrapped in paper, stuffed in a baguette, or served from a tiny market stall. Whether you’re grabbing a jambon-beurre in Montmartre, biting into the flakiest croissant of your life, or discovering how pistachios make ice cream 10x better, this list has you covered.
So, grab your snack of choice, find a scenic spot, and enjoy Paris the way it was meant to be tasted—one bite at a time.
And what if you prefer to pack your lunch? Well, we’ve got some great tips on packing a Paris picnic right here!!
