Le Petite Louise (10th Arr.)
My absolute new favourite spot in Paris, hands down. It’s cozy, inviting, and gives “local gem” energy. The food? So good I’d fly back just for one more bite. Perfect for a low-key dinner with high-key flavour.
La Rose de France (Île de la Cité)
A little on the pricey side, but you’re paying for the full Parisian fantasy. Tucked away on the island near Notre-Dame, it’s romantic, peaceful, and serves the best crème brûlée I’ve ever had. Like, I still think about it.
Brasserie Gisele (4th Arr.)
Such a solid lunch spot. Stylish but not stuffy, with a great menu and even better people-watching. Do yourself a favour and order a panaché — you’ll thank me later.”
La Sifflotte (10th Arr.)
This spot completely surprised me. Tucked away but packed with flavour, La Sifflotte serves up dishes that feel homemade in the best way. Affordable, satisfying, and seriously underrated.
Boulanger Pâtissier El Hafidi Abed (10th Arr.)
57 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis
This bakery changed my life. The jam-filled doughnuts? Transcendent. Like, stop-what-you’re-doing-and-go level good. They also do cream and plain ones, but the jam is the one. Truly unforgettable.
La Tua Pasta
Borough Market Kitchen, Winchester Walk, London SE1
A go-to every time. Big portions, lots of options, and genuinely delicious fresh pasta. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or when you need that comforting carb fix.
Blank Street Coffee
A bit overhyped, but it is good. Nice spot to grab a quick coffee, though there are cuter indie spots if you’re looking for more atmosphere.
Gloucester Arms
34 Gloucester Rd, South Kensington, London SW7 4RB, United Kingdom
Classic British pub vibes. Their fish and chips were awesome – crispy batter, flaky fish, and just the right portion size (not overwhelmingly huge).
Pizza Pilgrams Soho
11 Dean St, London W1D 3RP, United Kingdom
10/10. Absolutely love this spot. The pizza is fresh, flavourful, and the vibe is fun and casual. Always a solid choice when in London – you just can’t go wrong.
Yori Banjum
4 Panton St, London SW1Y 4DL, United Kingdom
Such a gem! Really great food, huge portions (seriously, come hungry), and very reasonably priced. Perfect spot to share dishes with friends.
BOXPARK Market
192, 198 Camden High St, London NW1 8QP, United Kingdom
Busy, buzzy, and full of choice. Tons of street food-style options, cool vibe, and great for trying something new. Can get crowded, but worth it.
Cheeky Scone
43 Pembridge Rd, London W11 3HG, United Kingdom
Loved this place! The scones were unreal, the space is beautifully decorated, and if you can snag a table, definitely sit in and enjoy. Total hidden gem feel and very on-brand for a cozy London treat.
