David Lebovitz
A pastry chef and author who combines sweet recipes with acidic (and hilarious) tales about life in Paris. He also offers plenty of restaurant recommendations and reviews.
Chocolate & Zucchini
One of the earliest and still most-popular food bloggers, this young Parisian compliments her recipes with an incredibly helpful French-English food glossary, and guide to favorite markets, shops, and restaurants.
Dorie Greenspan
The author of four baking bibles, Dorie spends a good part of every year eating and writing in Paris. When she tells me where to buy pastry, I listen.
Alex Lobrano's Diner's Journal
The long-time local correspondent for Gourmet magazine wrote an excellent restaurant guide in 2008. He shares news and updated recommendations on this restaurant blog.
John Talbott's Paris
The most prolific eater/writer I have ever followed. As co-host of the food-geeky eGullet France Forum, John Talbott has his finger on the pulse of the local restaurant scene. The blog houses his own reviews, along with regular summaries of what everyone else has said.
Adrian Moore
The self-styled "bad boy" of the local food scene, Adrian has accumulated a wealth of knowledge in his role as a five star hotel concierge. Restaurant reviews and the occasional rant.
Ms. Glaze Pommes d'Amour
Now cooking in New York, this young foodie spent several years in the kitchen of a three-star Paris restaurant and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the local food scene. She also created a Paris tour for teens that many chaperones will find handy.
Simon Says!
The personal blog of Francois Simon, lead critic for Le Figaro and (some say) the inspiration for Anton Ego, the ill-humored critic from Ratatouille. Many articles in English, thanks in part to his collaborator Joe Ray.
Chrisoscope
Practice your French or simply enjoy the food porn from this prolific and opinionated eater. Handy categories will help you find a restaurant that's open for brunch or on Sunday.
Meg Zimbeck
Can I nominate myself? Here's my personal blog, where you'll find the reviews and other bits that don't make it into Budget Travel.

Uh oh... How many French in here? Only two, if I count well...

Well, it's always a trade-off between finding blogs in English that our readers can use and ones that are written by locals...

Pascale Weeks, author of C'est moi qui l'ai fait, recently started translating her posts into English here: http://scally.typepad.com/en/ She is a delightful writer, with imaginative and healthy recipes. I nominate her too!

More French blogs? Et Voilà!
In addition to the three mentioned above (Chocolate and Zucchini is bilingual), I also love the following French language food blogs:
Chez Ptipois
Food Intelligence
Julot (bilingual)
Table à Découvert
Le Fooding
What are your favorites - in English or French?

David Lebovitz is a favorite of mine - I can never wait to see his posts on my RSS feed. The other one that I love is Croque Camille (http://croquecamille.wordpress.com/) - she not only makes great stuff, but reading through her blog, you get the notion that you, too, can make some good food. :)

This is great! I'm traveling to Paris alone with my 11 year old and 15 year old who can't wait to try the pastries and crepes. They may not be bative French, but they're helpful to me!

Ah yes, Paris. Even though I was only there for a few hours last year. I still had no choice but to partake in it's deliciousness.

Another blog has become regular reading since I posted this list in July. Barbra Austin's "Serve it Forth" is another great site to check out:
