This traditional Spanish dish from the Valencia region is simply delicious! A family dish of saffron-colored round rice, seafood, meat or fish. Some Paris restaurants have made it their specialty. Here are the best ones to try out, in our opinion!
Chez Ramona – Authenticity on your plate
Here at Ramona’s, Paella is served Spanish-style, in large portions to be shared by the whole table. A pretty address, a little old-fashioned, but authentic, next to Belleville, where you can enjoy a glass of vin rojo and spend time with those you love.
📍17 rue Ramponeau 75020 Paris
La Chambre Bleue – Gourmet paella
This gourmet Spanish restaurant offers all the best Spain has to offer. Amongst cooked octopus, baked fish and other delicacies, you’ll find a delicious paella. To share with loved ones (it tastes better).
📍4 Rue d’Anjou 75008 Paris
Le P’tit Barcelone – A one-way ticket to Spain
If P’tit Barcelone is known for its absolutely divine tapas to share at aperitif time, we like to go there to taste its paella de la casa! It is prepared with chicken and seafood, for twice the deliciousness. The little extra? Every Friday lunchtime, you can try a brand new paella recipe. This is accompanied by a complimentary sangria for even greater pleasure. You won’t regret it!
📍10 Rue de la Boule Rouge, 75009 Paris
Fogon Ultramarinos – The delicatessen that serves up the tastiest paella
Fogon Ultramarinos is well known to food lovers for its delicatessen and catering services, and offers two sizes of Paella for 2 to 5 people: with vegetables, langoustine, fish, Iberian ham or chicken and rabbit… In short, something for everyone!
📍38 rue de Verneuil 75007 Paris
El Sol – Sunshine on your plate
If you’re not afraid of generous portions, and paella is your guilty pleasure, then El Sol is the place to be. Here, you can eat in or take away. You can enjoy it with chicken, fish, pork or a combination of the two. Go ahead with your eyes closed!
📍 22 Rue de Ponthieu, 75008 Paris
La Paella – Simply good
This restaurant sets the tone right from the start! You’ll be able to sample the finest paellas to suit your tastes. I love the marinière with squid, mussels and prawns, which almost makes you want to take a one-way ticket to Spain’s beautiful beaches. Patience: each paella takes 25 minutes to prepare before serving. But I promise, it’s worth the wait!
📍 50 Rue des Vinaigriers, 75010 Paris
Le Derrick Catalan – A cosy restaurant
This warm, family-run Spanish restaurant is the place to go for “home-style” paella. You can choose from mixed Catalan style, marinara style, or decorated with half a lobster for the more gourmet eaters. An unmissable address for a treat!
📍 346 Rue Lecourbe, 75015 Paris
