Now if you're in Paris you know how seriously we take our ritual of going to the market for fruits and vegetables then, grabbing a Poulet Roti (roasted chicken) at the local boucherie on the weekends. You can find it on almost any Brasserie styled restaurant around town complete with mashed potatoes, fries or saluted vegetables. This is a classic french meal that somehow always gets forgotten in between the confit canard ?(roast duck) and French onion soup. Recently we had it at one of our fa[...]

It's well executed minimalism is of course what we'd expect, but be on the look out for long lines to get in around lunchtime (tip: go early around 12:30pm if you can instead of 1:30pm). Ideal if you want to lunch and rub elbows w[...]
Located in the busy street of Rue Faubourg St. Denis you'll find this unassuming little bistro where the terrace is always filled with 20 and 30 somethings passing the day or night away people watching or dinning on the typical menu selection( burgers, salads, and a few interesting additions). ?Like this Crevettes "Black Shrimp" Risotto surrounded by a slight curry sauce. ?It was divine: the risotto was creamy and just right, the black tiger shrimp were succulent with just a hint of spices.
