Restaurants in Paris: Get to the 11th Right Now!

I was richly rewarded for trying a new part of Paris. If you’re ready to explore a little further you will be too, starting with these restaurants in Paris! Normally I don’t gush about food in Paris, which is strange, I know, but mostly I’ve been underwhelmed.
