It's a well-known fact among the French, but one that never ceases to amaze tourists: in France, many restaurants stay open on weekends... and close their doors once a week, usually on Mondays. A well-deserved rest for the staff, but a thorn in the side of Parisians and tourists alike when it comes to finding a place to lunch or dine in Paris at the start of the week.
Fortunately for the stomachs of gourmets, many of the capital's restaurants are rebelling, overturning French traditions and choosing to close on a different day of the week, or even to remain constantly open thanks to a clever rotation of their teams. Good news for gourmets.
So, if you need to find a restaurant to eat at this Monday, you've come to the right place. So, if you need to find a restaurant to eat at on Mondays, you've come to the right place. Some are open for lunch, others for dinner, still others for lunch and dinner, so be sure to check and book!
