This outstanding and informal Parisian bistro in
the 7th Arrondissement offers a varied and
flavorful Pays Basque style menu in very cozy and
comfortable surroundings. Popular with the business
crowd for lunch, it offers terrace dining in the

selection, or try the Magret de Canard, or the
Volaille Champignons followed by an excellent
selection of deserts to finish off the meal. Good
selection of Pays Basque wines as well as the usual
Bordeaux. The staff is outstanding in their service
and suggestions. They open early (19h00 -7 PM) to
accommodate the tourist who seem unable to adjust
to the Parisian style of eating later in the
evening. The Parisians do not start arriving until
after 20h30 and stay until closing. Dress casual,
but try to forgo the ball caps and shorts,
please.

This very popular Spanish restaurant, located in
the heart of the Latin Quarter, a few short steps

What a world of difference from our previous
night's dinner and equal in every way to our first
visit here last year.
The

entrée of smoked trout and fruit and the

Vayres, 21 Euro a bottle, was a great compliment to
our meal. You'll learn to relax in the friendly
atmosphere and service of this family owned
restaurant in the 7th. Especially interesting, and
adding a touch of class, is the plate of walnuts
and hazelnuts served after dinned, as well as the
small dish of truffles from the world famous
chocolate shop only a few steps away, on the
corner. You'll saver the unique selections of
coffees they offer to finish your meal.

French cuisine
Inexpensive to Moderate -
Executive Chef/Owner: Patrick Fabre
This unique wine bar, extremely popular with the
local business crowd for lunch, is located in a
major shopping district on the right bank. This is
a casual dining experience not to be missed. At
noon you're liable to find men in business suits
mixed with the shop keepers and delivery men,
standing four deep at the bar. Although the decor
is somewhat dated, reminiscent of post-WW II, the
atmosphere is truly both relaxing and inviting. One
thing you'll notice when you first sit down at the
small tables lining the wall is that the labels
have been removed from the wine bottles displayed
above the bar. "I'm not being paid to advertise"
was the response from Madam. Nonetheless, both the
wine and the food is worth a stop anytime you're in
the neighborhood shopping.
Open for lunch and diner until 23h00 (11 PM).
Reservations not required in the main area, but
space is very limited. Private dinning area
upstairs.
