Cute Paris restaurant near the Luxembourg Gardens, Judy

Judy, Cantine Qualitarienne

18 Rue de Fleurus, 75005 Paris

Serving organic, gluten-free, and vegan options, Judy is the place for a cold-pressed juice, a fresh açai bowl, & a lunch plate full of tasty veggies. Their menu changes with the season, so as to always incorporate fresh ingredients. But the lovely décor, wonderful lattes & tasty avocado toast are year-round staples.

Paris restaurant belle époque dining room with mirrors, tables and chairs

Bouillon Racine

3 Rue Racine, 75006 Paris

If you like to drink your coffee or wine somewhere beautiful, this place will do the trick. This Art Nouveau restaurant opened in the early 1900s and hasn’t changed its décor since. Eating in this historic, traditional French spot makes you feel like you’re stepping back in time to the Paris of the Belle Epoque. Serving more sophisticated dishes than most other bouillons, Bouillon Racine is the place for a high quality meal in a superbly Parisian setting, at a reasonable price.

49 Rue des Écoles, 75005 Paris

This legendary brasserie is beloved by intellectuals, students, travellers, and locals alike. Serving up authentic French staples since 1886, it’s almost as much a Paris institution as the Eiffel Tower itself. Even if you aren’t hungry, take an hour or so to sit on this picture-perfect Parisian patio to enjoy a drink and watch the world go by.
