Lovely service but definitely overpriced food: Restaurant La Rôtisserie d’Argent (22. June 2020)
The Rôtisserie d’Argent is a typical French restaurant which is offering food even late in the evening. The waiters were relatively unhappy that I had walked in around 10:30 pm, but they still prepared the table in no time and – throughout the entire evening – were very friendly and caring. I went for a […]
Great Bib Gourmand recommendation by the Guide Michelin: Restaurant Les Petits Plats (21. June 2020)
When my favourite app, “Where Chefs Eat”, isn’t available, the Guide Michelin app is definitely a very reliable option too. Given I was hungry and there wasn’t much around, I decided to ask the app where I could find something tasty. The “Les Petits Plats” is probably not a place I would have walked into […]
Very traditional French dishes: Restaurant Au Bourguignon Du Marais (21. June 2020)
The Marais is a hip neighbourhood with a lot of small streets and little cafés which make the experience of walking through there very enjoyable. Finding a restaurant which is open the first weekend after the lift of the lockdown on the other hand isn’t entirely easy! But, I manged. As a starter, I went […]
A nice 1 Michelin star experience but nothing overly amazing: Restaurant Lucas Carton (20. June 2020)
Finding a Michelin-starred restaurant which is open on the first weekend after the lift of the lockdown turned out to be incredibly difficult! I mean, it took me about 30 homepages to find something which would be open! In any case, after some research and searching, I found the ‘Lucas Carton’ which is a 1 […]
Not so easy to find a decent place for breakfast: Restaurant Le Compas (20. June 2020)
Finding a typical nice French café for breakfast on a Saturday morning is not as trivial as I had initially thought. The Le Compas then turned out to be quite nice and I went for the “extra breakfast (double espresso, fresh orange juice, farmhouse bread, butter, jam, mixed omelette)” (EUR 14.00) which is a good […]
Surprisingly delicious Italian food with lovely service: Restaurant Baccano (19. June 2020)
Sometimes you’re really lucky when you find a place with good food in an area you wouldn’t really expect it. The Baccano is a rather simple Italian place with a few tables outside – not really the nicest area and not really the cosiest in terms of atmosphere but the staff was very attentive and […]
When the restaurants are open again in Paris after COVID-19: Restaurant Le Grand Colbert (19. June 2020)
Given the restaurants in France only just opened up, it wasn’t entirely easy to find a place for dinner but the Le Grand Colbert was among the few which were open again. The interior of the place is a typical nice French brassiere in terms of design. The tables are tiny and there isn’t much […]
Lovely setup and nice dishes with friendly service: Restaurant 50 zu 5 (18. June 2020)
The experience at the 50zu5 is almost always a very pleasant one. And frankly, in Corona-times even more so. The fact that you have to adhere to certain distancing measures makes it in so far better as you really have enough space between the tables which increases your level of privacy. The waitress that evening […]
