Les Cocottes
So the concept is simple and stripped down from the well known French chef Christian Constant; food served in a Frenchy-styled cocotte on high stools. Nice small restaurants ( the portions are a bit on the small side too) but the food is good!

Carmin
Don’t judge the book by the cover, step inside the typical cafe to find a mix of “regular” food you’d find in Paris, but it’s dependable (steak, salmon tartare, burgers, salads..etc) and the decor is cosy.
