Paris | From TikTok to Table: Two Paris Dining Spots That Are Actually Worth the Hype

Scrolling through TikTok for Paris dining recommendations feels a bit like window shopping with an unlimited credit card—except every restaurant claims to be the one you can’t miss. You know exactly what I’m talking about. One moment, you’re sold on a cozy Montmartre bistro with dreamy escargot; the next, you’re debating if a €20 croissant at a swanky café will truly change your life (spoiler: it might). With every flashy video and moody montage, my stomach screamed, "Pick one already!" So, armed with a mix of intrigue, skepticism, and a hunger that no algorithm could satisfy, I set out to try two of the most talked-about spots so you don’t have to drown in the digital sea of recommendations.

Paris | From Monks to Modern Mixology: The Fascinating Story of Chartreuse

When it comes to travel, are you the type of person who plans every detail of a trip down to the minute, or do you prefer to improvise and see where the road may take you? Over the last few years, I’ve learned that travel can be such a personal experience, and how we approach it often says a lot about our personalities. Whether you’re into color-coded itineraries or you thrive on last-minute adventures, there’s no right or wrong way to explore. During my last few adventures, I’ve made a loose itinerary- securing those restaurant reservations or tickets to a must-see museum exhibition, but if it’s a town I’m becoming acquainted with, I like to leave ample time to explore and wander off the beaten path. After all, you never know who you will meet or what you may stumble upon.
