Born and raised in Paris, tastemaker Zélikha Dinga is a cook and the force behind Caro Diario, a creative culinary studio that curates unique, highly specialized food experiences and dinners. So… she knows a thing or two about food and what makes it really stand out. Here, she’s sharing her go-to restaurants in the French capital, and the one event not to miss this summer: her annual gelateria pop-up in the heart of the Marais, a much-anticipated seasonal treat.

My 8 Go-To Restaurants in Paris, Curated by Zélikha Dinga

Caro Diario Gelateria

The Gelateria we run every summer through my studio. This year it’s in the lovely courtyard of the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature at 62 rue des Archives. It’s open until July 19 (Wed-Sun, 2-7pm), and for opening weekend (June 18-21) we have a special AmiGo flavor: café au lait! Come to try it and if you're a coffee lover, also don't miss my go-to cafe, Café Tabac, in Montmartre.

Dandelion

Dandelion

I’ve been to Dandelion sooooo many times. I have to admit it’s my favorite place to have dinner in Paris. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, the service is incredibly nice, the restaurant and location beautiful, and you also get to enjoy a true luxury: time. Because there’s only one evening service, you don’t have to stress about it and you can just enjoy it.

Parcelles

Parcelles

The food at Parcelles is always perfect, the wine list is impressive, and the vibe is lovely. Book well ahead! My favorite order is the sweetbreads.

Restaurant Passerini
