This traditional Spanish dish from the Valencia region is simply delicious! It’s a family dish made with saffron-colored rice,seafood, meat or fish. Some Paris restaurants have made it their specialty. Here are the best ones to try, in our opinion!
Chez Ramona – Authenticity on your plate
Here at Chez Ramona, Paella is served Spanish-style, i.e. in large portions for the whole table to share. A pretty address, a little old-fashioned, but authentic, just off Belleville, where you can drink vin rojo and spend time with those you love.
