If I could only recommend one restaurant in Paris, this would be that place! I think this might be…read moreone of my favorite meals ever, not just on vacation. After a very long day in Disney Paris, my friends and I were starving and not looking to go far so we found this place right around the corner from where we were staying. The owner is this sweetheart who suggested we order three dishes each and then share everything. Three of us decided to share and one of the girls in the group decided to get three things for herself. We also paired the meal with a bottle of white and a bottle of rosé that completed our meal perfectly! What we ordered: - 2 scallop carpaccio - 2 mushroom risotto - 3 gnocchi - mini burger - stuffed peppers - white fish (don't remember the actual fish) ceviche - veggie quesadillas - mozzarella sticks Not one plate that was sent to us wasn't devoured. Personally, our favorites were the Gnocchi, soft and pillowy in the most AMAZING cream sauce, and scallop carpaccio, fresh scallops seasoned to perfection in a light acidic sauce. Even the dishes that I probably would never order in Paris like the mozzarella sticks, quesadilla and mini burger. We're also completely delicious. Actually the mozzarella sticks had the most insane, you can tell that these were homemade. Even with no room left in our stomach, we ordered dessert. We ordered two crème brûlée and two chocolate cakes to split and then a apple tart for the table. Crème brûlée was insane, a must order! When my friends left and I was in Paris by myself, I actually came back alone twice! When I went, it was around the Olympics, so the owner was so nice to come and sit with me and show me how to get cheap tickets online that I never would've been able to find myself. Such a sweet soul! The place is pretty small, they pack as many tables as they could in here. Make a reservation if you want to sit outside or come later in the night if you just want to walk in.

The wait staff is friendly and accommodating to English speakers (they have a menu printed in English), while the food is simple and hearty. I went with a starter of escargot and a rabbit special. The escargot were phenomenal: pleasantly chewy and bathed in an addictive garlic butter. Fortunately, it came with a tin of fresh bread to soak up every drop. The rabbit, which came with smoky pork belly, dried currants, and mushrooms over mashed potatoes, was a little subdued, but tasty nonetheless. Paired with a house merlot, it was a delicious (and affordable) meal. Be warned: this place is small and will get packed after 8pm.

This place will make you forget every stereotype you've heard about unfriendly service in Paris…read more We walked in during dinner time, without reservation, not knowing how small this place was. Though they had all their tables reserved, they told us we could take a table if we didn't mind wrapping up our dinner in less than 1:20, since that's when the next reservation would come in. We didn't mind, so they sat us. Then they brought out a handwritten board menu in English, which they sat right next to us so we could clearly see everything. They answered our questions, and were extremely friendly and helpful in the process. The food itself was fantastic. I had the bone marrow as an appetizer, which just MELTED in my mouth. Mmmm. My main entree was the beef skirt with french fries -- all of which was perfectly cooked. Their house wine was excellent and not expensive. All things considered, this was easily one of my top 3 favorite meals during a full week in Paris.

Hidden in an angle street of rue de la roquette, this place has a dozen wooden tables and benches. It is fully decorated by its wine bottles so you know what you step into. The owners are extremely friendly and passionate about the wines they serve, which they know perfectly. They go mostly for organic wines and have a preference for Languedoc reds which they find have a better quality/price ratio. There are a few wines from the other regions as well. In total, you'll find probably 50-80 wines on the menu, all deliberately chosen by the owner who will be happy to talk about them. This place is a mix between a wine shop and a restaurant: you can buy the bottles to go or drink it in the restaurant for an additional premium (6 or 8 euros, can't remember). The food is simple but good: charcuterie or cheese plates to share, some grilled meat or fish. Try the calamari and the burrata as appetizers, they're pretty good. All in all, you spend a great time in this place: you discover new wines and you eat some good food. This is a great place to bring a group of friends!
