Ah Paris! Its monuments, museums, theaters, metro stations, and restaurants at every street corner. The great thing about the City of Light is that whatever your current craving, you can pretty much be sure to find something to satisfy it. And this goes for gastronomy too. Whether you're in the mood for burgers, pizzas, pho, or Buckwheat pancakes from Brittany, you will always find a shoe that fits (or a dish that suits your taste) to satisfy your cravings.

The national center for geographic and forestry information (IGN) has decided to create a map like no other, highlighting the predominant culinary specialties in each neighborhood of Paris. To do this, the center relied on data gathered by OpenStreetMap, which lists a number of restaurants and fast-food establishments in the City of Light.

A Map Without Big Surprises
To create this map, the IGN took an interest in both types of cuisine (French, Italian, Asian, or African) and more specific specialties (crepes, pizzas, kebabs, or burgers). And at first glance, it’s clear that some trends stand out. While the West and its stylish neighborhoods are primarily dominated by French cuisine, the East, North, and South are much more eclectic. Thus, it’s no surprise that the 14th is noted for its passion for galettes (thanks to the streets of Odessa and Montparnasse). In the 2nd, it’s the Japanese cuisine of Sainte-Anne Street that tips the scale. Generally speaking, the 13th vibrates with Asian cuisine.
