It’s official, ‘Emily in Paris’ season 5 has been confirmed! And while we wait for it, you can write by yourself the best episode of the series in Paris! It will surely be the one you’ll enjoy the most!
As you may know, ‘Emily in Paris’ has been primarily filmed in the French capital, and there are many filming locations you can visit, from museums and bakeries to the very place where Emily lives.
Some episodes have also been filmed outside of Paris, including the famous moment when Emily stays with her new friend Camille’s family, and when they go on a girls’ trip to the Riviera with Mindy.
The Best Filming Locations of ‘Emily in Paris’ in Paris
1. EMILY’S APARTMENT: Place de l’Estrapade
Emily lives in the charming neighborhood of Place de l’Estrapade, in the fifth arrondissement of Paris.

2. GABRIEL’S RESTAURANT: Terra Nera
Gabriel’s restaurant is a real place, the Italian restaurant Terra Nera, which often welcomes ‘Emily in Paris’ fans.
The restaurant changes its name each season: it was initially called Les Deux Comperes, then Chez Lavaux and most recently it became L’Espirit de Gigi, a tribute to Gabriel’s grandmother.
This cozy neighborhood restaurant offers a traditional menu of pastas, antipasti, meats and fish. Some standout dishes include fried calamari, gorgonzola tortellini, carbonara and much more. There’s also a dessert menu featuring tiramisu, profiteroles and sorbets!
Shortly after ‘Emily in Paris’ first premiered, Terra Nera introduced a special menu in tribute to the series. Although the menu is no longer available, you can still stop by for dinner and a glass of wine, just like Emily and Mindy did.
