In this video we’re trying the oldest and most iconic restaurants in Paris, France! We’ll work our way down through history, uncovering these true historical institutions in Paris and trying their food. But the question is, are they purely tourist traps, or do they still serve amazing French food?

Le Train Bleu (1901) https://maps.app.goo.gl/8srFo6f8nJ6K9SHt6 - This restaurant located in the train station is known to be one of the most beautiful restaurants in Paris! I ordered their Pâté en croûte, Roast Leg of Lamb, and Crêpes Suzette for dessert. The entire experience was phenomenal. Total price - €125.50

Le Dôme Café (1898) https://maps.app.goo.gl/SNMsqw29nwqwVD5G7 - Next up, this restaurant was one of the favorites on Anthony Bourdain. I tried their Rockfish Soup, the massive cold seafood Le Dôme Platter, Sole Meunière, and Napoléon Mille-feuille for dessert. Again, a legendary place, and the food and service were both phenomenal. Total price - €394.50 for 3 people

Bofinger (1864) https://maps.app.goo.gl/MwxdfUfNXufV2eRm9 - You can’t go to Paris without trying Bofinger, loved by tourists and locals alike. I tried their Endives and Clementines Salad, and the massive Choucroute Garnie (Bofinger’s Signature Sauerkraut) for main course. Total price - €58.90

L'Escargot Montorgueil (1832) - https://maps.app.goo.gl/hdTEyEPeMwMEE4fb9 - One of the most famous or infamous French foods are escargot, snails, and this is a historical restaurant in Paris to try them. I had their XXL Snails, Frog Legs, and Duck Confit. Total price - €138.00

Patisserie Stohrer (1730) https://maps.app.goo.gl/PZrvT1TxUR2waAYc9 - Dating back to 1730, Patisserie Stohrer is the oldest bakery in Paris, and I had their Rum Baba and Chocolate Éclair, plus a few other things I didn’t show on camera. Total price - €20.50

Le Procope (1686) https://maps.app.goo.gl/GUb6Ri9wVHdqn5ZTA - The oldest cafe and no restaurants in Paris is Le Procope, where Napoleon once left his hat as collateral for not paying for his meal. I had the French Onion Soup, Calf’s Head like in 1686, and the Coq au Vin. I was worried this place might be a total tourist trap, but to my surprise, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was incredible. Total price - €89.10

Finally, I have to mention La Tour d'Argent, the actual oldest restaurant in Paris, but unfortunately they don’t allow any filming.
