    The great Red, White and Blue!
    Anne H.

    Because I keep an apartment in Montmartre within walking distance of our Press office. And, due to the fact the reputation of this area has a slightly decadent and arty flavour to it - housing the infamous Moulin Rouge and it's distinctive red windmill - along, with it's high kicking can can girls. When some of my American friends are in town they expect to see an Irma La Douce on every corner, instead of the smart and delicate Coffee Houses and Restaurants that now make the 'Hill' such a delightful place to live. Although when I tell them the reputation was gained because local Nuns once made wine here in the 19th Century and almost gave it away to get Parisians hooked on Their own Habit, they feel a little more 'spiritually' drawn to the area. Like a lot of American 'chain' restaurants which have gradually crossed the pond into Paris, Joe Allen (who is) 'no ordinary G.I Joe' and who originally began 'Operation Go Joe' in 1965 out of New York and as a tribute to the US of A adorns his interior redbrick walls with ornate jubilant Red White and Blue memorabilia. These 'Themed Styled' joints either take off and spread like the plague around the globe...or, fade away into the John Wayne sunset and die natural deaths. Joe Allen belongs amongst the former. It's American flavoured menu not only attracts those who are away from the States and suffer from 'gastronomic nostalgia' but the fact - as do all American owned chains - they provide easy, quick and friendly service and end up becoming a haunt for locals who also like 'semi-fast foods' - chicken, ribs, salads, hamburgers, steak and of course, the unstoppable mountain of FRIES - with their unrelenting, humongous portions that could feed the entire population of Ethiopia - so, we are talking the best of wholesome 'American Faire.' This year, as with every year Joe Allen had a special fourth of July themed celebration menu and as us French were their allies during the war of Independence, then I was invited along with a few other local Citizens of the Revolution. Granted, the celebrations were very Razzmatazz American - as one would expect - and any humorous cries of 'Vive la Revolution' from us locals or our 'Vive la Guillotine' and 'Long live Robespierre' chants were drowned out by boisterous Uncle Sam catcalls. Americans really have much louder voices than most races and don't like competition from 'Froggie upstarts' who were merely convenient allies at the time (as we often appear to be.) Having said that, the Americans who were seated at Joes...and there was quite a horde, I can attest to that, promised to help us celebrate 'Bastille Day' next week with the same vigour. I will wait and see if our Citizen Friends put in an appearance. Meal-wise, back at the 'Ranch Faire' on the tables, I enjoyed my Baby shrimp and avocado salad, Chicken breast stuffed with goat's cheese, sweet potato French fries and spinach salad, just because it sounded so devilishly de-lish...and it was - although I felt like the stuffed breast afterwards - yet, I was able to top it all off with apple cranberry crumble and vanilla ice cream just to feel super duper American for the day. Not bad in 'An American Restaurant in Paris!'

    The best cheeseburger and the most amazing carrot cake I've found in Paris - I really should try something different on the menu!

    You know a grub spot is gonna be dope when you walk in and they're playing some good ass hip hop…read morejoints--- Slum Village, ATCQ, Jurassic 5, Les Nubiennes... the jams were just as tight as the flavor. After a long walk through the shops of Bastille, our feet got tired, and craved a good burger. Mapped out "best burger in town" and this spot popped up, with the label on the door reading "The Best Burger in Town". Pierre hooked it up with some good service. They had an English menu available via QR code... thank goodness. My hubs had the Clakos Burger, this month special served with Camembert Au Lait Cru, some good ass cheese from Normandy. It takes a lot to get to the depth of my husbands belly and make him smile after a good meal, but this burger had him pleased. Few good pointers from him: loved the red bell peppers in it, the bread was so soft and fresh, the meat was flavorful, and the cheese was outstanding. My son had a plain cheeseburger-- his points were: the meat was so good, and flavorful all around. A 5 out of 5 coming from a 7 year old. I had the chicken nuggets. 6 pcs for 7€. Not to shabby, and they served it with a choice of barbecue sauce and or sweet and sour sauce. Yum. This location was small, and easy to miss. Just look for a small door and window. The size of a hallway, there are four tables with comfortable seating inside. And a hand wash sink up at the front from All the burger juice that will drip down your hands as you devour. We learned they have 4 locations, one owner, and the bread is cooked fresh daily. Definitely will be back on our next trip!

    The best burger joint! The burger tartare was amazing and the chips were even crispier!…read more The drinks were even stronger! Definitely worth the visit for a fantastic burger
