You’ve finally decided to spend your next vacation in Paris. You’ve made the right choice!
During your stay in Paris, stay at the Best Western Aramis to be close to the emblematic sites and best restaurants of the 6th arrondissement! Indeed, our 3-star sup hotel offers an enchanting setting, ideal for a couple’s or family stay in the superb City of Lights.
And to help you make the most of Paris and its Left Bank, here’s some advice on how to enjoy French gastronomy in the capital!
1. Prefer the restaurants close to the Best Western Aramis
Located in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, close to Montparnasse and other legendary Parisian landmarks on the Left Bank, the 3-star Best Western Aramis hotel offers breakfast and a wine bar, but unfortunately does not have a restaurant.
The Best Western Aramis is strategically located for a vacation in Paris, within walking distance of many of the 6th arrondissement’s attractions, museums and city parks.
For a quick lunch or dinner between two visits, we recommend you visit the nearest and most recommended restaurants, which include La Cantine du Troquer, Café Trama and Le Petit Verdot, all located on Rue du Cherche Midi.
2. Choose bistros and pizzerias if you come with your family
If you’re traveling with a group and have teenagers, a pizzeria or bistro might be better suited to your budget. After all, it’s always best to carry as much as you can for museum visits or shopping sprees at Le Bon Marché or Galeries Lafayette!
We recommend the following pizzerias and bars: PIZZA DI GIO at 48 rue du Cherche Midi, CHEZ JO at 5 rue de Fleurus and the MOUSTACHE restaurant at 3 rue Sainte-Beuve are all good addresses.
3. Enjoy a romantic dinner for two
Spending a romantic vacation in Paris? No problem!
There’s no shortage of romantic restaurants around Best Western Aramis and in the 6th arrondissement.
Visit L’Adalie at 33 rue de l’Abbé Grégoire and the Italian restaurant La Lancetta at 72 rue du Cherche Midi. At La Lancetta, you’ll feel like you’re taking a trip to Italy, with its delicious pasta and seafood dishes!
4. Choose originality if you love to experiment
For those in search of a little originality, there’s no shortage of unusual restaurants in Paris!
Head to rue Mazarine to discover the superb L’Alcazar restaurant, an original restaurant in Paris offering a jungle setting for your meal! You’ll be amazed by the incredible, chic decor.
If you appreciate Paris’s architectural and cultural heritage, lunch at Le Polidor on rue Monsieur-le-Prince, one of the city’s oldest bistros, is a must.
How about a Japanese restaurant? You can enjoy sushi makis at Le Bluberry (6 rue du Sabot)!
5. Choose a Michelin-starred restaurant if you’re a gourmet
Since you’re in Paris, you’ll easily find Michelin-starred restaurants, including Guy Savoy (3 Michelin stars) at 11, quai de Conti and the gastronomic restaurant Hélène Darroze (2 Michelin stars) at 4 rue d’Assas. Two favorite addresses for connoisseurs of gourmet cuisine!
6. Consider the time if you plan to go out for dinner
It’s worth noting that many restaurants in Paris 6 close their kitchens after 10.30pm, leaving you with little choice if you’re planning to dine after spending some time in a bar or café. So be sure to check out the address you’re interested in and book a table!

7. Adapt your outfit based on the restaurant you choose
As in any big city, the way you dress plays an important role in the impression you make on others. It goes without saying that the appropriate attire for a Parisian bistro is rather casual, whereas for a chic restaurant, you’ll need to be elegant!
It’s simply a question of common sense, but in any case, keep it simple!
8. Know what to drink as an aperitif!
Everyone has their own preference when it comes to aperitifs, but Parisian trends are towards spritz, cocktails and aperitivo. For the more frugal, or if you simply don’t drink, you can also make do with the free carafe of water on your table!
9. Be sure you choose the right wine
In France, dining without wine is unthinkable! In restaurants, everyone seems to know what they’re doing, and chooses with ease when the sommelier speaks of a “lively and dry” or “fruity and mellow” white, a “powerful and sunny” or “light and sweet” red. If you’re not a wine connoisseur, don’t be ashamed! Ask the sommelier for advice, and he’ll be happy to guide you to the best choice!
10. Put your phones and other devices away!
When you dine out as a couple or as a family, the most important thing is to share this special moment. It’s a time to communicate, to talk about anything and everything, to laugh… So put away your phones and tablets!
Don’t even put them on the table!
