Moules-frites are a popular dish in the coastal regions of France, but not only there! In Paris, too, it's hard to resist this comforting dish , with its rich iodine flavors counterbalanced by the crispness of golden-brown fries. A simple yet tasty dish, moules-frites can be found on the menus of traditional restaurants and brasseries throughout the capital!
Usually cooked with aromatic herbs, garlic, onion and white wine, mussels are often served with a marinière sauce - butter, shallots, parsley - but also in even more gourmet recipes, with curry sauce, crème fraiche sauce, Roquefort sauce, or even lardons for the naughtiest.
Considered a traditional dish in France, but also in Belgium, moules-frites are best served with a cold beer or a small glass of white wine - within reason, of course. So, for a dish that smells of the sea and the sun, here are our top addresses for tasty moules-frites in Paris!
