La Turquoise – Paris (75014) en
A quality kebab place held by Turkish people from Antioche ( like those from Ozlem), a city close to Syria: the kebabs are homemade, made with veal, and the restaurant is very clean. There’s a quality atmosphere due to the diversity of the crowd, and[...]
Assaporare – Paris (75012) en
The lunch menu of the day for 14 euros, is definitely a good deal.
I’ll come back at dinner to give my opinion on it.
The difference between this Italian restaurant and another one that I recently went to which was a disappointment, at this one th[...]
Yanasé – Paris (75015) en
A good restaurant, comfortable and authentic, to know in a pretty dodgy area, and welcomed on this rue Vasco de Gama that’s more used to la-bonne-cuisine française than Japanese food.
But be careful of the details, the prices aren’t always what the[...]
Alexi – Paris (75020) en
A Lebanese takeout place that exists since 1987. Here, the food is homemade, authentic, and the staff has as much character as the food. Lucky for us, that’s exactly what we like.[...]
La Cuisine de Philippe – Paris (75006) en
A real unpretentious old-fashioned French restaurant, discreet and in an area where places like these are good to know . Some tiny little things in service kept me from proclaiming how good this place was, but we’ve assuredly found a good spot, with [...]
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[...]
