Bucharest, Sibiu (Romania) en
Bucharest
Bucharest, which we used to call Little Paris, was unfortunately disfigured by Ceaucesu. Today, we have huge avenues, just asking to get stuck in traffic , lined with high, grey buildings; needless to say it doesn’t “inciter” to go for [...]
Riga (Latvia)
S’il y a bien une ville qui n’aura pas correspondu à l‘image que je m’en étais faite d’après les guides et autres échos, c’est bien Riga.
J’avais imaginé une ville satellitaire russe, sombre et impersonnelle avec un mini centre historique sous forme[...]
Slavia – Prague (Czech Republic) en
A coffee shop like you can find so many others in each European city, here Dvorak then Vaclav Havel came to meet up; except that the difference between this establishment and countless others where the prices are ridiculously high, the staff arrogan[...]
Les vins de la Trottinette – Paris (75011) en
Mauro, from the Sicilian tratorria "la Trottinette" now also sells wine.
Yesterday he organized a meet and greet with wine producers.
I tried two wines that I really enjoyed.
This Dos Tierras looking for a perfect balance between the Spanish Tempr[...]
Cité Universitaire’s Restaurant- Paris (75014) en
I was told it was a great deal/place. For the food, it’s good for a cafeteria, but the level isn’t as high I thought it would be. However, the setting in general is superb, especially when it’s nice outside, the cafeteria is open for everyone so it’[...]
FL Restaurant – Paris (75007) en
A real nice bistro with cool prices ( 16 euros appetizer-main at lunch, 23 appetizer-main-dessert) especially for the neighborhood.
The design wont please everyone, the music in the background either, but the food and service will. Solid restaurant.[...]
Reuan Thaï – Paris (75011) en
A real discovery that I owe to Claire Pichon from La Plus Petite Cuisine du Monde that talked about it in her restaurant selection for 716.
A Thai restaurant run by “Laotiens” for the last 20 years, at Belleville.
All you can eat buffet at lunch f[...]
Sushi Gourmet – Paris (75016) en
This restaurant exists since 2000, and it’s a sure bang for your buck when talking about sushi and sashimi in Paris. I say in Paris, because it’s far from being a neighborhood restaurant even if I was worried it might be in this corner of the 16th di[...]
Le Jean Bouin – Paris (75016) en
Brasseries such as these are the exception even though they should be the norm.
It’s really too bad, but since 716 is only interested in the positive, we’re happy to find places like these. Food made in house, inexpensive, old fashion service, seri[...]
Tempero – Paris (75013) en
An excellent find that I owe to Valérie Ramiand from Francesca aux Fourneaux , that had warmly recommended it to me.
The quality-price ratio, the food, the warm welcome, the quality of service, the charming setting, the quiet neighborhood, good dea[...]
Chez Kim – Paris (75017) en
A take out on the Péreire side that respects its clients: the chef Kim is Korean and he prepares both Korean and French food, it’s good, homemade, inexpensive, the service is nice and when it’s nice out there’s a nice patio (often taken over in fact[...]
