Steak fries, ice cream, croissants and Vin.
There is a lot to offer in the Parisian food world, but Tiktok Influential people and tourist hotspots now keep tourists from finding authentic cheap food.
While the streets of Instagrammable Cafes and Fairy Street are sure to be picturesque, food in tourist trap areas around Champs-elysee and Notre Dame is usually overpriced, at best, average.
But don’t be afraid – MailOnline has found the best tips to avoid travel traps so that you can eat like a Parisian.
Tiktok influencers make the most beautiful places popular-not someone who serves authentic Parisian cuisine.
1. If you want to eat like a local, avoid places surrounded by selfie sticks and tiktokkers
The more Parisians you see eating in one place, the better!
For example, both the Cafe de Flore and La Maison Rose are all the rage for their lovely look and expensive hot chocolate with cream.

Cafe de Flore (pictured above) is all the rage for its cute look and expensive hot chocolate, but expensive
But hot chocolate in Flore Cafe and hot chocolate will return you €11.50/£9.61, and the queue is usually outside the door.
Try the quiet and comfortable Maison Fleuret Paris – it’s right next to the block and is set in a used bookstore.
Or, for traditional French bistro food, try Bouillon Pigalle in the 18th Arnddissement. They offer French onion soup, es fruit and creamy brulley for around 10-15 euros/£8.35-£12.53.
2. At least 10 minutes walk from the landmark 10 minutes
After a day of parade, parade in the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the Champs-elysee, it’s easy to put it down in the first restaurant you see.
However, the cafes and restaurants next door to these tourist hotspots are the worst for overpriced and disappointing food.
If you can see the Eiffel Tower from the table, that may not be a good sign.
With just 10-15 minutes walk, off-the-scenes roads can take you to some incredible real restaurants.
For traditional French bistro food, try Bouillon Pigalle in the 18th arndissement (pictured above). They offer French onion soup, es fruit and creamy bruli at very affordable prices
Rather than stopping in the busy square, waiter Vye quickly sat down, it’s better to walk 10 minutes from the Eiffel Tower to Crue Cler to win the amazing taverns that Parisians often appear.
3. Find a large menu in English and comment from British people
A clear sign that you will be a place where large menus are translated into English in the travel trap, and Google is all from both British and Americans.
Make sure to dine at a place that offers 3-4 main courses as they are more likely to be homemade and have excellent ingredients.
Seasonal dining is also important for Parisian culture – if restaurants have unlimited menus all year round, they are catering to the masses, not for the exquisite French taste.
Offering a crowded menu from all over France rather than one region (such as hot pot, crepes and raclette) is not very good at cooking.
For example, professional restaurants in crepes usually only offer crepes and ice cream.
4. 17th century market coverage in Paris
Try to dine in a covered market, but still affordable, alternative. Le Marche Couvert des enfants Rouges in the picture above
Student travelers know that supermarkets are your wallet’s best friend during vacation.
But for those who want to blend in with complex Parisians, try dining in a covered market, but still affordable, alternative.
Le Marché Couvert des enfants Rouges is the oldest food market in Paris, opening in 1615, which is almost the most authentic Parisian taste you can get.
The wide variety of food means everyone has a price point, and also offers delicious food for everyone, stalls selling Moroccan, Lebanese, Italian and Japanese food as well as traditional French produce.
