If for you, lunch or dinner in a restaurant should be a sign of conviviality but also of generosity, then you've come to the right place.

Of course, generous portions don't just mean more goodies on the plate, but also an even warmer and more convivial experience than usual. And why choose between quality and quantity when you can have both on the same plate?

Whether you're looking fortraditional, family-style or local dishes, one thing's for sure: these Parisian restaurants will leave a lasting impression on even the most voracious appetites. Generous portions, a friendly atmosphere and flavors as diverse as they are varied... What better equation?

So, to enjoy a hearty lunch or dinner with good value for money, check out our top addresses for particularly generous restaurants in Paris!
