France Regional Food Bucket List: 18 Iconic Dishes & Where to Eat Them

What to order in every region of France—from Parisian Bouillons and Lyonnais Bouchons to Niçoise street food and Alsatian Winstubs.

Paris, Normandy, Brittany & the Loire

In Paris, order Steak Frites, Duck Confit, Onion Soup, and a jambon-beurre on a warm Baguette de Tradition. In Normandy and Brittany, feast on Moules à la Crème Normande, Buckwheat Galettes Complètes with dry Cidre Brut, and salted-butter Kouign-Amann. In the Loire Valley, pair Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine goat cheese and Tarte Tatin with crisp Vouvray.

Lyon, Provence, Nice, Alsace & Bordeaux

In Lyon, book a certified Bouchon for Quenelle de Brochet and Praline Tart. On the Côte d'Azur and Marseille, eat blistered chickpea Socca, Pan Bagnat, and traditional Saffron Bouillabaisse. In Alsace (Strasbourg & Colmar), share wood-fired Tarte Flambée and Choucroute Garnie with dry Riesling. In Bordeaux, pair Arcachon oysters and Entrecôte à la Bordelaise with caramelized Canelés.
