Restaurants

Anahi is a Agentina and South American restaurant installed in an old pork-butchery.
For all the meat amateurs (coming from the Pampa), skewers and other flesh-colored cooked with ember, to accompany by wines of South America.

For years Le Pied de Cochon has been a Paris tradition to stop off at this joint in Les Halles for the famous onion soup at three o'clock in the morning after a night of revelry.
The true Parisian also orders the restaurant's namesake -- grilled pig's feet with béarnaise sauce and Knuckle of Pork, Sauerkraut Braised with Beer ,AAAAA Andouillette Sausage Grilled with Béarnaise Sauce, Stuffed Pig's Trotter Périgord style The Old-Fashioned Way, St. Anthony's Temptation Tail, Ear, Brawn, Trotter, Béarnaise Sauce, Pork Chop from pig reared at the "Ferme de Vallegrain" ...
You can also do as your grandpa did and wash down a dozen different varieties of oysters at the time-mellowed bar -- along with champagne, of course.

While doing your shopping Avenue Montaigne in the centre of Paris you must stop by L'Avenue which is a very trendy restaurant. L'Avenue is located just near two of the most important French radios, so it’s always full of known people: politician, news reporters and top model.. Nothing special to say about Jacques Garcia’s decoration: it’s velvet and gold (bit boring).. Food are good and.. expensive... around 60 euros/person.. To see and to be seen..

Typical old-fashioned Brasserie with one of the best summer views in Paris from its terrace which is invariably packed. Brasserie de l’Ile St-Louis is located behind Notre-Dame de Paris.
Stuffed game and nicotine-stained walls make for a convivial Parisian experience, as does the slightly gruff waiter. Nothing here is gastronomically exciting - a well dressed frisée aux lardons, a slab of fairly ordinary terrine, a greasy slice of foie de veau prepared à l’anglaise with a rasher of bacon, a more successful pan of warming tripes - and a dash more sophistication in the kitchen would transform this delightful place into something more exceptional.

Before or after visiting the Louvre Museum make a pit stop at Le Café Marly !! On the terrace, under the sun have a very tasty club-sandwich (14euros) and a café (4euros). Located in the Richelieu wing in front of the Pyramid you cannot miss it!! Known to be a trendy place..

Chez L'Ami Jean was opened by a Basque nationalist in 1931, and fans claim its Basque cuisine and setting are the most authentic on the Left Bank of Paris. Today chef Stéphane Jégo is in charge of the place. It is certainly the best bistrot at this time in Paris. Stéphane Jégo is waiting for its first étoile from the Guide Michelin. While then you should go there fast..
It’s just great for the price with for example a menu at 29 euros.
A la carte you can choose among dishes like one the greatest Bayonne ham we ever had “ Jambon de truie Arrossagaray” ; herb-laden Béarn-influenced vegetable soups; Côtes de veau ( slices of veal with fresh herbs, onions, red Espelette peppers) for 2 at 52 €, Confit of duck with small potatoes (23€); Pigeon fermier 30€, Ris de veau de lait de Corréze (32€)...
In springtime, look for a specialty rarely available elsewhere: saumon de l'Adour (Adour salmon) with béarnaise sauce.
Great deserts as well!!
Enjoy well selected wines like Chablis Guy Robert (24 €), Tempranillo (24 €), Cahors Clos Siguier (21 €) and a great Côte Rôtie...

To not miss in the heart of Left Bank Paris, next to the Carrefour de l'Odéon, Le Comptoir du Relais. This restaurant is a brasserie by day and a gastro restaurant by night. The owner Yves Camdeborde, who was once part of Christian Constant's team at the Crillon, was one of the first chefs to open a gastro bistro: remember La Régalade!!
That is useless to say that he handles perfectly this concept. So by night time there is one menu that changes daily. There are no choices and we like that very much, so pleasant not to have to choose between equally delicious dishes. Camdeborde's style is delectable and enthusiastic, with a little twist to keep things interesting. This time for 42€ we had Cremeux of celery, foie gras and truffles then marinated Coquilles St Jacques with cream of caviar then Fricasées of calf rice then cheese and a perfect dessert. This "gastronomique menu" was just great..
Service staff is perfect, chart of wines interesting and decoration typically French bistro with Art Deco details and a little terrace very pleasant.
Better book always crowed..
Le Comptoir du Relais is part of a 4 star hotel called the Relais Saint Germain, a fine place as well!!

Isami is our favourite japanese restaurant in Paris.
It’s hard to get a table because they do the best sushi in town. Try "assortiment" at 40 euros..

L'ami Louis restaurant in Paris

L'Ami Louis is one of the most expensive Bistrot in Paris. But people came from all over the world to eat the French meals presented there. It’s known that president Clinton came often chez l’Ami Louis while in Paris.. If money is not a problem just enjoy escargots de Bourgogne, assiettes de foie gras, poulets de Challans (one says it's the best roast chicken in Paris see this pdf about it), grilled veal kidneys, roasted suckling lamb, pheasant, venison, confit of duck...
The prices are extravagant (54 € for the foie gras, 70 € for the chicken), the wines historical (Montrachet, Latour, Yquem) and are dominated by the statue of commander of the jeroboam of Pétrus 1986 to 10 910 €.
Once in a life…

Video: review of L ami Louis (in french):

Set opposite the Louvre, between the rue de Rivoli and the very beautiful church of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, Le Fumoir is one of the busiest and most trendy cafes in Paris (people often have to queue for a seat!). Its large windows, sofas, leather armchairs, cocktails, books and international press make it an ideal afternoon meeting place. Menu 17,50 euros at noon and 26 euros at night, brunch on sunday 21 euros, cocktail 6 euros, happy hour from 6pm to 8pm...

Le Rubis is the best know wine bar in Paris, offering an extensive wine list centred mainly on the Beaujolais and Loire wines. Despite its rustic, slightly battered interior, it attracts serious businessmen and lawyers at lunch, and students and fashion folk at night. For lunch you can have typical bistrot meal like andouillette, bourguignon, jarret and boudin (10 et 12 €). The best time to visit Le Rubis is late in the afternoon when the streets are darkening and the regulars are installed at the bar, leaving the banquettes empty.

Next to the Eiffel Tower, you should stop by this great fish restaurant in Paris: Les Fables de la Fontaine. The Chef Christian Constant is known for two others places next to this one: the Violon d’Ingres (135 on the same sidewalk) and the Café Constant (139).
Les Fables de la Fontaine is a tiny little room with barely ten small tables to fill the place, by summer time you can ask for a table outside. The room décor is minimalist and keep up with the seafood theme of the food, very pleasant. The usually serve a sort of very funny amuse to start. We had Oyster Tartare (19€), which, in fact, was oyster and salmon tartare, Coquilles St.Jacques Rôties au beurre demi-sel (24€) just perfectly cooked, Dorade with vegetables (24€) great!! This Chef is very innovative, and we like very much its work. If you like fish do not miss this place. Desserts are fun and tasty and the wine not expensive. Better book. Go there!!

Another trendy French restaurant near the Champs Elysées. Spoon Food & Wine is one of Alain Ducasse's affordable restaurants in Paris!.
We go there for lunch or in the evening; both are fine. We enjoy Spoon typical food that fuses ingredients from all over the world which applies to the wine as well.( you can have wine “au verre” that means only taking a glass of wine not a botlle).
Try at noon the Spoonsum Lunch is a new lunchtime menu comprising dishes served in smaller portions, especially designed for the modern gourmet looking for new tastes and sensations : 2 starters + 1 fish dish + 1 meat dish + 3 desserts . For this we had :Rougaille curry bream & crispy vegetables – king prawn kebabs – stir fried vegetables – spare ribs with peanuts – red mullet tajine – strawberry shake it up and a cheesecake …
Well just great!!!
