Le Bougnat – Paris (75003) en
18.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

A true bistrot in an area that’s become considerably more bourgeois, but in which the quality of food choices haven’t followed suite ( often very expensive and not good, the first ones to [...]

Song Heng – Paris (75003) en

An excellent Pho in a central location. You might wonder why it’s only now that I’m writing about it. The fact is that the systematic long lines and its small quarters didn’t make it[...]

La Brasserie Lorraine – Paris (75008) en
18.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

Why am I writing about Brasserie Lorraine on 716 you ask? It’s true that it is expensive , but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t deliver on all the points that it promises, there are[...]

Chez Aline – Paris (75011) en
18.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

This old equine meat shop transformed into a sandwich spot and…has been making noise. I wanted to get a closer look to see what it was really about. In the end, a serious place no doubt, we&#821[...]

Chez Joy – Paris (75014) en
18.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

A Thai take-out place where they’re really cooking: other than the boss Joy, it looked like there were two other women in the kitchen. It’s good, not expensive and located in an area where[...]

Le Bistrot Tocqueville – Paris (75017) en
17.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

A bistrot that makes you happy: it’s super good, the prices are perfect, and it’s worth it. The customer service could be worked on a tiny bit more, even if they were very accommodating in[...]

Le Bougainville – Paris (75002) en
17.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

I remembered this place as a fun wine bar/bistot to have a good time in, instead I discover an appetizing menu and the prices that match. It seems that the son took over the mother’s business. I[...]

La Cerise sur la Pizza – Paris (75011) en
17.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

It’s a place that does have its little faults ( the pizzas aren’t the best price-quantity ratio, 2 euros less considering the size would be heavenly) but its good vibe and good intentions [...]

Chez Antoine – Paris (75012) en
17.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

Excellent sandwiches, unfortunately served a little bit fast at lunch, so we don’t feel as much as ease like we’d want to be in front of such a quality product. It stays a 716 spot because[...]

Heng Lay – Paris (75013) en
17.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

Another chinese-vietnamese place that I didn’t know about! Recommended to me by a 716 reader that I wish to thank here. Family atmosphere, Lok Lak specialty but lots of other things as well. How[...]

Au Clair de Lune – Paris (75002) en
09.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

A couscous restaurant that’s been around for 60 years in an area that is pretty shitty when talking about good restaurants. The greeting is a little abrupt for my taste, but the person that brou[...]

Petrossian – Paris (75007) en
09.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

Usually I refuse invitations, simply because I worry that as a guest my opinion on service will be biased. In this instance, I appreciated how the invitation was formulated, plus the person accepted t[...]

La Cave des Abbesses – Paris (75018) en
09.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

A wine bar that allows you to also eat at the back of the room: good atmosphere, raw, good plates for a good price, the boss and the server from Perou were both very cool. Summary A wine bar that allo[...]

Tsubame – Paris (75009) en
09.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

A japanese restaurant, which opened in mid-december that has the quality of being both welcoming and good. A little less posh in the 9th arrondissement, we can finally breathe a little. The food is fr[...]

Le Lock Groove – Paris (75014) en
09.04.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

Here’s the best news on the left bank since…the crazy years at Montparnasse have been over; and I owe it to a 716 reader that I once again would like to thank. As a client was saying: fina[...]

Café Paris Europe – Paris (75008) en
14.03.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

The 2nd good brasserie of the week, what is happening? The deserts were a fail but everything else: reception, dishes, service, price, were very good. Summary The 2nd good brasserie of the week, what [...]

Marseille (en)
14.03.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

Marseille is wonderful, est une merveille, these are the first words that came to my mind. I have been there twice in a month, first time in Christmas, second time end of january. That is an impressiv[...]

Quatre Amis – Paris (75011) en
12.03.14 - Guillaume - 716lavie

A good Szechuan restaurant, well kept: it’s decorated with taste and you don’t smell the kitchen odors because it’s in the basement, the boss is very nice; it’s two steps away [...]
