Adrien Juif
Journalist
Adrien Food In Paris
Fifteen years ago, Adrien launched a blog dedicated to Parisian restaurants, at a time when “bistronomy” was in full swing and the Parisian culinary scene made it possible to enjoy a lunch worthy of the name for the price of a bad pizza and a Coke on the Champs-Élysées. With the rise of social media, his focus gradually shifted toward visuals. He then launched Adrien Food In Paris, an Instagram account dedicated to Parisian gastronomy, where photography and video complement the writing to tell a different story about the venues, chefs, and dining experiences. Drawing on this dual experience in gastronomy and content creation, Adrien helps restaurants, hotels, and hospitality businesses boost their visibility on Google and, now, on search engines and AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. He is also a contributor to various media outlets and continues to explore new ways in which imagery, storytelling, and technology influence how we discover and choose a dining experience.
