When I Lived in Paris, Every Chic Restaurant Had This Flatware Style – Now I’ve Found It at Anthropologie to Bring Parisian Charm to My New York Kitchen

Three images of flatware on various table settings with plates, table linens, and fruit.

In a city like Paris, inspiration lies around every corner. Having lived there for two years, I know this firsthand. Everything caught my attention – from the grand architecture on the boulevards to the chic fashion choices of the city dwellers. Even the flatware in Parisian bistros piqued my curiosity – I always saw the same style everywhere I ate, and in my mind, it became synonymous with French bistro culture.

Although it's been years since I've lived in Paris, I was recently reminded of my time in the city after seeing its distinct style of flatware pop up within the spring collections at brands like H&M, IKEA, and Anthropologie. With colorful handles and metallic rivets, these flatware styles are identical to what I'd use when I'd eat out in Paris. Now, I've got my eye on one set in particular – this $48 Jubilee Flatware Set from Anthropologie. With this set, I'll be able to channel the charm and chic style of Parisian bistros in my tiny New York kitchen.
