Actually, Michelin starred restaurants are slipping in this sophisticated world of Gastronomy 2013.

Parisians and foreign foodies alike are discovering Bistro food, available at cutting edge little places run by younger, bolder chefs and they are replacing Michelins as the go-to places in Paris.

A lot more relaxed, less sauces and richness, these places are really a lot more enjoyable to me than the stodgy Michelins. Get with the modern times!
