The 10 Best Places in Paris to Eat Quiche Lorraine

The 20 Best Places in Paris to Eat Quiche Lorraine

Updated by Vanessa M in July 2023.

Some meals are so distinctly French, you can’t help but feel the urge to stuff your face with them while visiting the capital city. Escargots, steak tartare and Quiche Lorraine are some of the country’s top dishes, with the latter found on just about every bakery, brunch and cafe menu in Paris.

Quiche Lorraine gets its name from its home town, Lorraine, that was once a region on the border of France and Belgium. It is an egg, cream and pork-fat based quiche, traditionally reserved for special occasions.

Here is where to go the eat the best Quiche Loraine in Paris. 

1. The Smith’s Bakery in Paris

The Smith’s Bakery sits on Paris’ left bank, and has obtained quite a bit of hype amongst the tourism community in Paris.

As with most “hype spots”, The Smith’s Bakery is nowhere near as impressive as some of the smaller patisseries in and around Paris. That being said, if it’s Quiche Lorraine you’re looking for, this is absolutely one of the best renditions!

Slices are generous in size; don’t make the mistake of sharing, you’ll be happy to eat your own one! Expect a queue out the door at the best of times.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

ADDRESS: MONDAY TO Sunday — 8:45am to 11pm

ADDRESS: 12 Rue de Buci, 75006 Paris, France

Metro STATION: Mabillon

2. Good News Coffee Shop in Paris

A slice of quiche and a side salad is a popular lunchtime meal for Parisians. The Good News Coffee Shop is a charming spot for a hot coffee and a traditional Quiche Lorraine.

They don’t open on Mondays or Tuesdays, but the rest of the week they’re a southern hot-spot for brunch and lunch in the French capital.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

ADDRESS: Wednesday TO Sunday — 9:30AM TO 4pm

ADDRESS: 27 bis Rue Mademoiselle, 75015 Paris, France

3. Le Loir dans La Théière in Paris

Back in the center, Le Loir dans La Théière is serving hot quiche and fresh cakes, seven days a week.

Alongside a tasty Quiche Lorraine option, they also do a range of vegetarian quiches made with vegetables instead of pork-fat. There is something for everyone at Le Loir dans La Théière; try to keep some space for desert!

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

ADDRESS: MONDAY TO Sunday — 9am to 7:30pm

ADDRESS: 3 Rue des Rosiers, 75004 Paris, France

Metro STATION: Saint-Paul

4. Loustic in Paris

Loustic is an ambient, retro space that feels a bit like stepping back in time. In my opinion this is the best Quiche Lorraine in Paris; flavor and experience combined.

Instead of slices, Loustic serve their quiches as individual miniature pies, baked fresh throughout the day. It’s rare that a quiche melts in your mouth quite like this one does.

They offer a vegetarian option for those who don’t want to eat meat.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

ADDRESS: MONDAY TO Sunday — 8:30am to 6pm

ADDRESS: 40 Rue Chapon, 75003 Paris, France

Metro STATION: Arts et Métiers

5. Le Voltigeur in Paris

Just down the road from Loustic is a spot called Le Voltigeur. They’re a close second for the best quiche in Paris, and people flock here daily to try the famous Loraine.

What’s great about Le Voltigeur is that they open early and close late. You can enjoy a Quiche Lorraine as early as 8am or as early as 2am. Late night dining is something Paris is famous for, and Le Voltigeur is a charming spot to do so in.

6. Carette in Paris

Carette is the best spot for Quiche Lorraine near the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It sits right outside the Trocadéro metro station, where most people catch their first glimpse of the Iron Lady.

This little tea house has a traditional French menu including everything from crepes, to omelettes and of course, the Quiche Lorraine. I recommend ordering a side salad as the quiche doesn’t come with one and this simply makes it a more hearty meal.

Enjoying a Quiche Lorraine in Paris doesn’t always require a formal sit-down meal setting. There are a number of patisseries around the city who offer the dish as a grab-and-go option.

Stohrer is a patisserie in the Sentier district. As far as take-away Quiche Lorraine goes, their’s is absolutely delicious. Rumor has it this is where Parisian chef’s grab a quick bite in the middle of their work days.

A few years ago I had my first visit to the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. It was a cool and rainy day, and after seeing the grand cathedral I wanted nothing more than a hot slice of quiche and comforting glass of red wine.

Le Petit Plateau is within short walking distance of the Notre Dame, and has a quiche and wine menu that were made for each other – literally! If you’re lucky you’ll get a seat on the outside tables, rain or shine.

Then there’s Constant’s famed delectable Quiche Lorraine with a rich and creamy filling, of course.

Even in Paris, where boulangeries are plentiful in many areas, there are some that take your breath away. Du Pain et Des Idées is unquestionably one of them.
