Restaurants & Takeaways in France industry analysis

Over the five years through 2025, restaurant and takeaway revenue is expected to rise at a compound annual rate of 3.7%. France’s culinary heritage is internationally renowned. However, the industry is navigating a shift. Despite numerous Michelin-starred restaurants indicating the quality of France’s food scene, economic headwinds like climbing inflation have dampened consumer spending in recent years, keeping people from dining out as frequently. In response, restaurants are leaning into cost-friendly options like prix fixe menus and casual dining. Fast-food chains, are thriving, riding the wave of demand for affordability and convenience, while bistronomy – where restaurants merge casual formats and gourmet perks – is performing well by targeting value seekers. In 2025, revenue is slated to grow by 3.7% to €58.2 billion.
