Parisian food trends worth trying in 2025.
Paris is a culinary capital and people are familiar with its traditional French food but there are many contemporary food trends worth trying if you are visiting Paris.
Organic wine: Wine is part of French culture, and a rising trend includes the new wave of natural, organic, and biodynamic wines in Paris. They are known as low-intervention wines, often unfiltered, and Parisians are trying these wines over mass produced ones. Cellars include La Hotte du Caviste, La Buvette, Septime La Cave, and Le Barav.
Gourmet croissants: Croissants are a staple food in Paris which boulangers (bakers) are taking to the next level – gourmet croissants. Experimenting with taste and texture, bakers are producing matcha-infused croissants, chocolate-hazelnut variations, and laminated dough layered with spices. Examples include Boulangerie Utopie and Du Pain et Idées.
Gourmet fast food: Parisian street food has evolved beyond crêpes, with a wave of gourmet fast food redefining casual dining, especially waffles, burgers, and Middle Eastern food platters. Eateries include Big Ferdinand, Blend, and Mokonuts.
Indulgent pastries: There are a variety of pastry ideas in the Paris patisseries, such as miniature desserts. Patisseries include Cedric Grolet, Tapisserie, and Le Meurice.
Vegan food: Plant-based bistros are on the rise, providing vegan and vegetarian food. Restaurants include Wild & The Moon, and 42 Degrés.
Classic bistro food: The classic bistro is a return to old-school, traditional Parisian “comfort” food with a modern twist, including locally sourced ingredients. Bistros include Bistrot Paul Bert and Le Bon Georges.
Creative teas: The café (coffee) culture is still in but tea is becoming the next big thing, especially creative infusions and curated teas. Matcha and chai have gained popularity and concept cafés are experimenting with herbal and green teas, as well as the reimagined black teas. Tea houses include Mariage Freres and Lily of the Valley.
Wine and cheese pairings: Paris sommeliers and cheesemongers are pairing wine and cheese in new and unexpected ways. Some examples are blue cheese with cider – or goat cheese and natural wines – or aged comté with sake. Try Fromagerie Quatrehomme and La Vache dans les Vignes.
Sustainable dining: Paris is moving towards sustainable dining which means low-waste or zero-waste dining – seasonal foods, nose-to-tail cooking, and encouraging reusable containers. Restaurants include Silo and Les Résistants. .
Traditional French fare should never be ignored – but if you’re in the mood for trying something different in the way of food trends, then Parisian food culture is as exciting as ever.
