Want to find your next go-to Fish and Chips place in Paris? Take a little stroll with me let's hop on the metro line 3 then get out at Sentier and walk down Rue Montorgueil, you know that busy street that has many cafes, bistros, bakeries and flower shops?

If you're looking for a decent bon bo in Paris you can eat one here in Montmartre in a tiny restaurant on the foot of Sacre Coeur: Colline D'Asie. The prices are cheap and average around 7 Euros per plate for a Pho soup or Bun Bo. There aren't many places you can eat in Paris on a budget of under 10 Euros! Check our my other post for Not a great place for a large group of people (only around 5 tables inside). As it's a little mom-and-pop place the service is very friendly but can be a bit slow.[...]
