City of good taste: savoir-vivre in Paris

Angelika Ahrens, Georges Desrues, Sebastian Späth, 30.10.2025

In Paris, good food is a way of life - and is an inseparable part of the city's history. Where the restaurant was once invented, a culinary culture that effortlessly combines tradition and avant-garde still pulsates today.

It must have been shortly before the French Revolution when those places first appeared in Paris where you could not only dine, but also linger - at your own table, with a choice of dishes that you chose yourself. It was the birth of the restaurant as we know it today.
