When deciding whether to try a new restaurant in Paris, one of the sites I always consult is mmmm.free.fr. What I like about it is that the reviews are done by actual clientele. No money exchanges hands, no businesses are involved. And they are French reviewers, too, which lends a certain air of expertise to the whole thing. If you don’t speak French, don’t worry, you can see how much a restaurant is liked by how many happy coffee pots it has! Just click on the arrondissement the restaurant is in, and look for it in the list. (You can also do a search on specific restaurants). It’s a great tool for a trip to Paris.
