The French national passion for good food means that eating out in Paris is always going to be a pleasure. Most restaurants serve French cuisine but there is also a range of other national foods which are represented in the city such as Chinese, Vietnamese, North African, Italian and Greek. Although there are restaurants and cafes all over the city, some areas have a more plentiful supply than others.

The area around the Champs-Elysees and Madeleine has lots of fast food outlets and over-priced cafes along with some very good, expensive restaurants. Montparnasse is good for 1920s style cafes and smaller bistros whilst the Left Bank contains lots of restaurants of all types, particularly in the tourist areas around St Germain des Pres and the Latin Quarter.

Around the Opera you will find some good brasseries and if you are looking for trendy, small bistros and tea salons then head for the fashionable Marais and Bastille areas.

For more ethnic cuisine there is a high concentration of Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants in the area south of Place dItalie and in Belleville. Belleville, to the east of Paris, is also packed with small North African restaurants.

Seafood is popular in Barcelona and one of the best places to sample the shellfish is at the Port Olimpic complex and most of the traditional Catalan restaurants are concentrated in and around the Barri Gotic. As the Catalans tend to eat late, most restaurants will be empty until at least 20.00 and food is often served until about 23.30 or midnight.

As well as offering an a la carte menu most restaurants also offer a set menu for the budget conscious. These usually feature typical Catalan food. As for nightlife, Barcelona is one of the liveliest places in Europe, with discos and clubs catering for pretty much any taste and which are often open all night.
