Paris, the gastronomy capital, has solidified its reputation as home to some of the most iconic restaurants in the world. According to the authoritative Croatian travel guide TasteAtlas, two iconic brasseries in Paris have secured spots in the top 50 of the most legendary restaurants to visit in 2024. For a taste of history, one must visit Bouillon Chartier in the 9th arrondissement and Au Pied de Cochon in the 1st arrondissement.
Out of 23,751 traditional restaurants serving local dishes in their database, these 150 restaurants stand out due to their longevity, reliability, and iconic status of the restaurant and its dishes, as explained on the website.
Founded in 1896, Bouillon Chartier holds the 19th place in the ranking and is renowned for its generous and affordable cuisine. TasteAtlas particularly recommends trying their confit de canard served with pommes de terre grenailles. Its success has led to the opening of two more locations in Paris, in the Montparnasse district (14th arrondissement) and at the Gare de l’Est (10th arrondissement).
Meanwhile, Au Pied de Cochon is ranked at the 25th place. Established after the war in 1947, this brasserie, a true gem in the heart of the Halles district, is open every day from 8 am to 5 am. TasteAtlas particularly praises the legendary soupe à l’oignon, which can be enjoyed at any time of the day or night. A third French address making it to the list is Brasserie Georges in Lyon.
