What time do Parisians usually eat and when are restaurants open?
Parisians usually eat lunch anywhere between 12-2PM and dinner between 7:30-11PM. France has a distinction between different sorts of eateries and their hours vary accordingly. A “Brasserie” is a café-restaurant that is open from about 7 am – 8-11pm and serves hot food all day, some served dinner but not all. A bistro or restaurant is only open over lunch and then again as of 7 pm. Many restaurants are closed on Sundays but you can usually find some open in every district.
