Time Out Paris

The food in Paris is out of this world, but it can weigh heavily on your wallet. The city has something like 120 Michelin-starred restaurants (putting it only second to having the highest number in the world), and if you grab a snack in the wrong spot you could be looking at accidentally spending €20 on a sandwich and a drink.  But hey, even in a bougie city like Paris, there’s always going to be something affordable hiding round the corner – you just have to know where to look. Lucky, the team at Time Out Paris know their stuff, and have spent years scouring the city for its best affordable snacks, testing everything from bibimpap to ramen and €15 lunch deals. We know, it’s a hard life. Without further ado, here are the best cheap eats in Paris right now.    RECOMMENDED:🥘 The best restaurants in Paris🎨 The best things to do in Paris⛵ The best day trips from Paris🏡 The best Airbnbs in Paris Antoine Besse is the food and drink editor at Time Out Paris.

From the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower and Sacré Coeur to the hills of Belleville – heck, even the Tour Montparnasse on a good day – the French capital has undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and iconic skylines in the world. And sure, you could try your luck sightseeing at a bar terrace in pretty much any part of the capital, but let’s be honest, where better to survey Paris’s architectural marvels than ten floors up with a cocktail in hand? Whether you go for a hotel whipping up mixology magic or one of the Perchoir chain’s trendy AF locations in the east, our list of the absolute best rooftop bars in Paris will make regular street-level boozing seem oh-so passé.
