Paris is not only the capital of French gastronomy, it's also a paradise for meat lovers. From renowned addresses to traditional bistros and specialized restaurants, the City of Light is brimming with good places to enjoy entrecôtes, côtes de bœuf and other meat specialties.
Forget the image of the simple neighborhood bistro: in Paris, meat has been elevated to the rank of culinary art. Chefs work with carefully selected cuts, often matured for several weeks to reveal all their flavors. French gastronomy is distinguished by its historically meaty recipes: coq au vin, blanquette de veau, boeuf bourguignon, foie gras, game and pâté en croûte.
Whether you're a fan of wood-grilled meats, gourmet burgers or fine dining, the capital offers a vast choice to satisfy every craving - and every budget, as good kebabs and quality sandwiches are also legion in the capital.
And let's not forget the good butcher's shops where you can cook like a chef at home, and the sausage-making workshops where you can learn to do things yourself. Here's a quick roundup of the best tips and addresses for meat-lovers who want to make the most of Paris.
