Where to Eat in the 7th Arrondissement

The 7th arrondissement, located on the Left Bank of the Seine River, is known as one of the city's most elegant and sophisticated neighborhoods. This upscale district is home to some of the most iconic landmarks in Paris, including the Eiffel Tower, the Champ de Mars park, and the Musée d'Orsay. Whether you're looking to admire some of the world's most famous works of art, stroll along the Seine River, or indulge in some gourmet French cuisine, the 7th arrondissement has plenty to offer.

Here are a few of my favorite spots:
