Restaurants where to eat paella in Paris
Craving for a generous paella but don't have the cash to take the first flight to Madrid or Barcelona? Don't panic: here are some of our good Parisian addresses that smell like the south, the Mediterranean, and the sun, to enjoy all kinds of tapas and indulge in Spain's most typical dish!
Les Caves Saint Gilles
In the Marais, this address takes us to Valence or right in the middle of the streets of Madrid. Les Caves Saint Gilles is the ultimate tapas bar, offering us a variety of plates to share with tortilla, chipirones, croquetas, pulpo a la gallega... And of course, the classic seafood paella and the paella negra with squid ink, typically Valencian and Catalan.

This small Spanish counter takes you on a direct flight to the Iberian Peninsula! El Sol, a restaurant in the 8th arrondissement that is as family-friendly as it is intimate, celebrates the good products of Spain, from a bottle of wine to Iberico de Bellota ham, carefully selected by José Maria Gomez Vega. As for paella, it's clearly madness with homemade recipes to enjoy on site or to order in a giant version. With seafood, octopus, chicken, Iberian ribs, or any mix... There is something for everyone's taste. Vamós!

At Montijo, we celebrate the art of living the Spanish way in the heart of Batignolles.

On weekends, this neighborhood restaurant offers a Basque-style brunch and a giant paella (probably the largest in Paris) served every Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4pm. In short, a soon-to-be journey to the Iberian Peninsula, with a lively atmosphere filled with music.

Chez Ramona is a true institution in Belleville.

Here, you'll find the lively atmosphere of Barcelona with must-try croquetas, bravas, and tortillas, but especially with the delicious Paella de la Casa with chicken and seafood. Enjoy it all on the large terrace facing Folies Bergère to soak up the sun and feel like you're (almost) on the streets of Barcelona.
