Falafel – Paris (75013) en
A Lebanese take out place, run by an Egyptian in front of the Corvisart metro station.
Why is it on 716? Because an important number of Lebanese take outs are easily forgotten, while this one, without being incredible, is worth it for the simple fac[...]
Le Tonnelier de Breteuil – Paris (75007) en
A good unpretentious bistro that works hard. Yes it's in the shade, but spots like these are scarce in the area.

Zicatela – Paris (75009) en
A simple and tasty Mexican food restaurant, like there are so few in Paris. It's cheap ( except for the beers) and recommended by Mexicans. The other plus is that it's in the Grands Boulevard area, which is lacking in good spots to eat at.

La Pointe du Grouin – Paris (75010) en
For price-quality ratio, without a doubt the best sandwich in Paris. Incredible, for 4 euros. The rest is the same, appetizers and desserts between 2-4 euros, no problem. For service and "l'orga" , it's a little off ,even too much for me.
But it's[...]
Les Coupoles – Paris (75008) en
There's nothing harder than finding a good brasserie in Paris: good meaning fresh products, putting HEART into the preparation of dishes everyone knows and treating customers like gourmets that ought to be respected and not the opposite.
Some aren't[...]
Le Daraton – Paris (75014) en
A coup de coeur: finally a Greek restaurant ( Cretan) in Paris, flavorful and authentic, with some good prices. So, it can been a bit of a wait because the boss and the chef is alone doing it all, but for sure it's flavorful and and the interior desi[...]
Kerniaus Baras – Kernavė (Lithuania) en
A break we could only dream of: bucolic, well maintained, and it's in the Kernavé village,an important place for Lithuanian culture: it was the Grand-duchy of Lithuania's first known capital. It's also an important archaeological site, listed as a Un[...]

Mint Vinetu – Vilnius (Lithuania) en
Vinetu is a bookstore that also offers coffee and baked goods. Kind of a dream bookstore: the books are cheap, the selection is “pointue” , there are no best sellers, there are books in Lithuanian but also in Spanish, French, Polish, Italian, English[...]
Senoji Kibininė – Trakai (Lithuania) en
Kibinai is a culinary specialty of the Karaimai (Karaïtes in French), the smallest ethnic group in Lithuania: "ce mouvement dissident du judaïsme qui s'oppose à la validité du Talmud et à l'école rabbinique serait apparu au 8 siècle" there’s only a c[...]
Vegafé – Vilnius (Lithuania) en
A restaurant that’s always full, and that succeeds in being modern and trendy without being in your face. At Vilnius, a lot of new places look too showy.
The menu is serious, we can even find their recipes because they have them there for us.
A wel[...]
