TV.fr Unveils the Definitive Guide to Paris's Iconic Film & TV Cafes
30+ real cafes, restaurants and bars from Amelie, Emily in Paris, Midnight in Paris, Before Sunset, Ratatouille, Lupin and more - mapped and reviewed in the most comprehensive guide to "culinary set-jetting" in Paris
PARIS - July 22, 2026 - TV.fr [https://www.TV.fr], France's leading television guide, today publishes an interactive guide mapping more than 30 real cafes, restaurants and bars in Paris made famous by cinema and television - from the Cafe des 2 Moulins in Amelie to Terra Nera (Gabriel's restaurant) in Emily in Paris , from Maxim's in Midnight in Paris to Le Pure Cafe in Before Sunset .
The guide arrives as "culinary set-jetting" - choosing restaurants based on their screen appearances - emerges as one of the fastest-growing tourism trends in Paris. According to the Paris Tourism Office, a growing number of visitors now select their dining destinations based on the films and series they have watched, driving unprecedented demand at venues like the Cafe des 2 Moulins, which continues to welcome thousands of daily visitors more than two decades after the release of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's masterpiece.
By the Numbers
The guide covers 30+ establishments across 12 iconic films and TV series, spanning 10 arrondissements. The oldest restaurant featured, La Tour d'Argent - the primary inspiration for Gusteau's in Pixar's Ratatouille - dates back to 1582.
Films & Series Covered
The guide features venues from: Amelie (2001), Emily in Paris (Netflix, 2020-present), Midnight in Paris (2011), Before Sunset (2004), Ratatouille (Pixar, 2007), The Intouchables (2011), Lupin (Netflix, 2021-present), Inglourious Basterds (2009), Call My Agent! (France 2, 2015-2023), Gossip Girl (CW/HBO Max), and The Aristocats (Disney, 1970).
Guide Highlights
Cafe des 2 Moulins (18th arr.) - Amelie's workplace since 1911, where the legendary creme brulee remains on the menu. Director Jeunet, a Montmartre resident, chose it for its "small village within a big city" atmosphere.
Terra Nera (5th arr.) - The red-facade Italian restaurant that doubles as Gabriel's restaurant in Emily in Paris. Now one of the hardest reservations in the Latin Quarter.
Maxim's (8th arr.) - Founded 1893, classified Historic Monument. The Art Nouveau temple where Gil and Adriana are transported in Midnight in Paris. Regulars included Edith Piaf, Coco Chanel and Marcel Proust.
Le Pure Cafe (11th arr.) - The authentic neighbourhood bistro where Jesse and Celine reconnect in Before Sunset. Shot in a single take, far from tourist Paris.
Restaurant Polidor (6th arr.) - Operating since 1845. Where Gil meets Hemingway in Midnight in Paris. The real Hemingway ate here and mentioned it in A Moveable Feast.
La Tour d'Argent (5th arr.) - Primary inspiration for Gusteau's in Ratatouille. History dates to 1582. Famous for its numbered pressed duck (counter exceeds 1.2 million).
Bistrot La Renaissance (18th arr.) - Founded 1904, classified Historic Monument. The only Paris location shoot in Inglourious Basterds. Tarantino discovered it in a Claude Chabrol film.
What Makes This Guide Unique
Unlike simple location lists, TV.fr's guide provides for each establishment: the exact address and nearest metro station, a detailed description of the venue's history and significance, the specific scenes filmed there, and practical tips for visitors. The guide also includes a one-day walking itinerary with budget estimates, covering Montmartre in the morning, the 1st arrondissement for lunch, and Saint-Germain-des-Pres in the afternoon.
The guide is available in French and English, making it accessible to both domestic and international visitors.
