A fairly traditional café/restaurant and one stone from the apartment. Try the "Aligot" (mashed potatoes with melted cheese). 😋 Love it! Last but not least, this restaurant is open every day, even on Sundays.

Some excellent ' Flammekueche" a thin crusty dough filled with only few ingredients that are cream, onions and bacon, all of which are a common sight in Alsace! (region of East of France). Next door to the apartment! Hurray ! 😄

Well decorated, creating a lovely atmosphere. Attentive service. A good place to have a break while visiting the Louvre or the Palais Royal, or simply for anyone who appreciates a good restaurant. Very good French traditional food. Highly recommended!

A traditional French restaurant and an original concept: the opera dinner! The chef Eric Léautey has prepared a selection of dishes which are simple and original, with French haute cuisine. A quartet of lyric singers accompanied by a piano supports the ballet of waiters. Every fifteen minutes or so, one, two or the four of them will perform parts of renowned tunes such as in Carmen, Don Giovanni, Tosca, The Magic Flute, or La Bohème. The surprise, the joy, and the proximity with the singers create a real emotion.

For a delightful fine dining restaurant near Les Halles Cozy little restaurant which allows for an intimate experience. Not a formal restaurant, but do not be fooled. This is an epicurean delight! The food looks like art, the taste is out of this world, interesting and surprising. The atmosphere is sufisticated and super friendly at the same time. A real treat, the offers they have make this completely affordable, and worth every penny. 🧡

The 'Merveilleux' cakes at Fred's are simply amazing – incredibly tasty yet not heavy. My personal favorite is the chocolate one. The unique aspect is that they make them right in front of you in the shop, adding an extra element of surprise and delight. While not strictly for breakfast, I felt compelled to share this excellent address with you!

Sandwiches & tapas

The "Caractère de cochon" (pig character) shop : To taste the real French sandwich, it's the place to go. Bread is crispy, a generous dose of delicious butter, you can choose your ham between several varieties and add some good cheese. I took jambon cuit au piment d'Espelette with old comté. It's not spicy at all, and the cheese is delicious, a bit salty, not strong in taste (don't great the French cheese, taste it). People there are very nice ! It's pricy if you compare to industrial stuff, but really worth the money!

Delicious "tapas-like" restaurant. Place is excellent for small plate/tapas style French dishes. No menus, but just look at the picture cards on the ceiling and choose what you want. The atmosphere is fun and always crowded. The bread and butter are phenomenal and so is the food. There are no seats, everyone stands. The place is small but it has a good energy. Also the seafood version (next door to this one)!

Duc des Lombards is well known for hosting quality Jazz bands and artists. The place is little. You sit a few inches away from the musicians and feel every note is played. Excellent acoustics. A magic place to listen to live jazz music. Good food & drinks, good service too! and one block from the apartment!
