According to a recent survey of Parisian diners conducted on the Zagat blog, respondents report eating out 3.1 times per week on average. When it comes to their favorite cuisine, not surprisingly, French is No.1 (62%), followed distantly by Italian (9%), Japanese (8%), and Thai (8%), among others. While 72% of diners still make restaurant reservations by phone, only 10% do so online, 1% do so in person, and 17% do not make reservations at all. When asked whether they would like to see more restaurants sign up for internet-based reservation services, 46% said “yes.”

The Zagat 2014 Paris Restaurants guide is available today at major booksellers including Publicis Drugstore and online at Amazon.com. Through our guides we look forward to helping you search and discover the best places in Paris and other cities around the world!
