Where to eat, drink and snack over a long weekend in Paris, from late-night Afro-Caribbean food and West African home cooking to chicken and waffles, bakeries, brunch and ice cream. Picks from 'A long weekend in Paris' on my blog, Satiated (satiated.co.uk).
You need to definitely try this while in Paris. Southern US-style food including burgers & fried chicken with waffles - the waffles are a must! There's some outdoor seating as well.
Picked by MalaikaOne of my all time favourite spots in Paris, I have to visit each and every time I’m in the city. Although popular with celebrities Babylone Bis is no frills, super chilled and open until 4am in the morning. I’ve tried quite a bit of the menu and my favourites are the Poulet Braise, Yassa, Maffe de Boeuf & Colombo de Poule. I always get a side of rice and alokos (plantain) for the heartiest, most amazing West African/ Creole feast. Be careful of the cocktails as they make them super strong and you may stumble out satisfied but seeing double! (Via satiated.co.uk)
Picked by MalaikaI’ll be honest, I wasn’t in love with the food at Bambino, but I really enjoyed the overall vibe. The menu changes often and as I’ve only been there once I am still hopeful that they offer better dishes and will pop in during my next trip to Paris. Bambino is a wine bar inspired by Tokyo jazz bars that plays vinyl records and gets very popular in the evenings. (via satiated.co.uk)
Picked by MalaikaWe stumbled across Ten Belles during a relaxed morning walk across the city. I opted for an iced latte with oat milk & the Pain Suisse - flaky croissant pastry nearly dripping with butter, rich chocolate and vanilla creme. Sprinkled with a few sea salt flakes it was a beautiful way to start the day. I’m not a big coffee drinker so the oat latte was fine for me, however, my coffee-loving girlfriends were thoroughly impressed with their caffeinated drinks. (via satiated.co.uk)
Picked by MalaikaI live for sorbet. Sucre Glace was the perfect “little something sweet” needed after a lacklustre lunch experience. Kiwi, white peach and pineapple sorbet are not flavours I come across easily in London and they all tasted refreshingly divine. They also had some interesting ice cream flavours on offer too, but I will always opt for sorbet ❤️ Can’t guarantee that the same menu will be available by the time you get there, but the creativity is timeless (as long as they’re open!)

Picked by MalaikaMore sorbet. Never enough sorbet. I am sorbet. Glaces Glazed do exceptional artisan ice creams and sorbets, some of them even contain a little booze if you’re into that. I tried the mojito which was like having a frozen cocktail, yum. Mango sorbet is my favourite flavour, but I never considered that a little chilli could make it even better and the rhubarb and juniper was like a palate cleansing gin and tonic. They have multiple locations around the city so if you find one, try something new. (via satiated.co.uk)
Picked by MalaikaWaly-Fay feels like home to me. A warm, friendly, familiar place with food that nourishes me at my core and satisfies my soul. One of my favourite things about Paris is that it gives me an opportunity to explore different African cuisines in more depth. Waly Fay serves a range of West African dishes from places like Senegal, Cameroon and Ivory Coast. The food has a very homemade feeling, there’s an open kitchen and I’ve always been served by the friendliest staff. This is one place where you can reserve a table in advance which probably makes me love it even more. (via satiated.co.uk)
Picked by MalaikaAnother early morning stroll discovery we popped into Jeffrey Cagnes for a stunningly simple, classic croissant. Fantastic. I also picked up a small treat that was meant for later but didn’t last more than 10 minutes - a pistachio & white chocolate cookie. It’s easy to want to try everything on offer, so if you feel overwhelmed with excitement start with these two. (via satiated.co.uk)
Picked by MalaikaThe pancakes at Holy Belly are absolutely fantastic. Delicious. Amazing. Light, fluffy, slightly salted with crispy edges. The bacon is really good too and it’s served with luscious French butter and proper maple syrup. Although popular with the locals they don’t take bookings, so get there early or you will 100% find yourself in a long queue. (via satiated.co.uk)
