The Strange History of the French Restaurant
Did Paris invent the restaurant? In this episode of Fishwives of Paris, Emily and Caroline sit down with gastronomy guide and chef Allison Zinder to uncover the surprising origins of eating out in Paris. From medieval taverns and restorative broths to historic institutions like Le Pied de Cochon and Bouillon Chartier, they explore how France transformed dining into an experience built around pleasure, ritual, and performance. Along the way, they unpack why French restaurants still feel so different today, from slow meals and mirrored dining rooms to the cultural horror of asking for substitutions.
