About the book: Paris has every reason to call itself the capital of European gastronomy. Yet beyond its iconic terrasses and café tables, what deeper story does the city’s food tell? Chris Newens—award-winning food writer and long-time resident of La Villette, once the city’s great slaughterhouse district—invites us on a flavourful journey through all twenty arrondissements, seeking out, tasting, and even attempting to recreate dishes that capture the character of each neighbourhood today.

As Hemingway once wrote, “wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.” From Congolese catfish in the 18th, to falafel in the 4th, to the charcuterie platters of Pigalle’s libertine nightclubs in the 9th, Newens reveals the city’s ever-shifting, irresistible food culture in all its diversity.
