Out of date Good concept and the app is nicely integrated into maps, but it needs to be updated. Wasted too much time walking to a venue (Ma Cocotte) that was nowhere to be found.

The must have food info for Paris! I have used this app or her book for what feels like 25 years. If you love food… You are visiting Paris means you love food… You must get the app!!!!
No longer updated. Obsolete. This app used to be great, and I still use the glossary of menu terms. But the rest of the information has not been updated in years.
Wonderful But it seems to be an orphan. Not updated in at least a year
for serious researchers, not tourists bought this app before first trip to Paris, thinking it would help me find good restaurants while walking around neighborhoods. such a tiny % of restaurants are covered here, it’s not helpful for that. also no indication of when a review was last updated
Don’t The app lists stellar restaurants like the terrible chain pain quotidien when trying to find a nice dinner. Seriously don’t waste your money (or be surprised when you find the $5 bill for this app)
Feels amateur at best I was excited about this guide but I ended up using Google restaurant searches and David Lebowitz’s blog for better suggestions. Half the time her reviews feel half hearted. She only ate one thing at the restaurant and looked over people’s shoulders to “review” what they ate. This is not the work of a food writer. It is really disappointing. Save your money.
I trust Patricia Wells and she does not disappoint! I’ve been to Paris many times and love using her app because it breaks down by arrondissement. Super easy to search and her recommendations are solid. I may not love the same dishes/breads she does but the places she recommends are amazing!
Excellent guide This updated version is beautiful and very functional. Even when not online, the map is accurate and useful. It made my most recent trip to Paris a resounding success, taking me to local haunts and new neighborhoods I would not have visited otherwise. Just like having a trusted local guide with you at all times.
