The hitch is that they only deliver within Paris.

A highly varied menu offers lunch options, bento boxes, and a seasonal menu for pick up or delivery.

SUSHI SHOP
A leader in sushi delivery and takeaway, Sushi Shop was founded in 1998 by Frenchman Grégory Marciano who, after spending time in California, wanted to introduce California-style sushi to France.

Fresh, local, gourmet cuisine from chefs like Yannick Alléno, Kelly Rangama, Eric Frechon, Jean-François Bury, and Beatriz Gonzalez, served in elegant, origami-shaped recyclable packaging—no wonder Chanel and Moët Hennessy are fans! Of course, top quality food and service comes at a price. Tiptoque’s delivery team are salaried employees, so delivery fees start around 10€ within Paris, and can run up to 30€ for delivery to suburbs.
UBER EATS
The food delivery service offshoot of Uber’s ride-hailing service, UberEats orders are delivered by Uber drivers instead of bike couriers. If you have an Uber account, you can conveniently use the same login details and order from hundreds of restaurants near you.

Thanks for the recommendation, Molly!
In Boulogne, a new app has launched called HappyPorteur. It’s a delivery app for Boulogne restaurants (not sure if they will be expanding to Paris). But it’s meant to be a more ethical and ecologically-friendly service, and one that does a better job of supporting its member restaurants and drivers. (UberEats and Deliveroo have come under fire for taking large commissions from restaurants, making it hard for restaurants to make any money on delivery orders. They also have been criticized for not paying their riders/drivers well at all. I always tip the driver if I order from them!)
