I have just spent a few weeks in Paris and have discovered that a whole load of new cafes and bars have sprung up in what used to be a bit of a run down area. It’s by the Marie III and rue Dupuis. I spent a delightful day with friends discovering a few places [...]

Polidor, Paris (5th)

An ex colleague has recently moved within Paris and is now by Cluny la Sorbonne, in the 5th arrondissement. I am delighted as I don’t know this area very well. I (wrongly) associate the fifth with St Michel, hoards of tourists and fan restaurants, but there is so much more. We tried to go to [...]

When I was in Paris recently, a client took my boss and I out for lunch.They had recently moved offices and told us that there weren’t any good places nearby so they had booked a restaurant in the nearby 13th Arrondissement, not far from Place d’Italie. L’avant Gout is run by chef Christophe Beaufront in [...]
Cafe Lezard, Paris (1st)

Recently when I was in Paris, a friend took me out for lunch in my favourite area, rue Montorgueil, to a cafe that I have been to numerous times for drinks, but I had never eaten there. What a mistake, how could Cafe Lezard have been on my doorstep for so long without me discovering [...]
Team work at L’Imprimerie, central Paris
Posted in Destinations, France - Paris and more, tagged french restaurants, restaurants in Paris on February 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The Imprimerie is just south of the Bourse and apparently where the newspaper journalists used to hang out (Imprimerie means ‘the printer’). Only a few of the newspapers are left in that area and they have far more choice of venue so now the Imprimerie hosts a mixed crowd. It’s was one of my favourite [...]
A perfect Sunday in Le Marais, Paris
Posted in France - Paris and more, tagged french restaurants, restaurants in Paris on February 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Sunday is my favourite day in Paris. A lazy morning, some kind of ridiculous brunch/lunch menu in the Marais with friends, a wander around stopping at the odd boutique, coffee with more friends, more wandering, maybe another stop for friends and then dinner before going home for a tisane and early night. The Marais is [...]
The Hidden Kitchen, Paris

This place is so good that it deserves a whole post to itself. A friend heard about the Hidden Kitchen and we decided it would be great for a celebration dinner of some type (we usually don’t struggle for excuses between birthdays, jobs and moves to other countries) but every time we tried to book, [...]
Moroccan Paris
Posted in France - Paris and more, tagged restaurants in Paris on January 11, 2010 | 1 Comment »
There are a number of North Africans that have migrated to France and this means some wonderful Moroccan restaurants have appeared. The Mosque in the 5th is a great setting for a mint tea and pastry in the summer after a walk around the jardin des plantes, or sit inside in winter for a warming [...]
Parisian Markets – shopping for food
Posted in France - Paris and more, tagged french, restaurants in Paris on January 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Granted that I have a ‘thing’ against supermarkets: there’s something about everyone piling down to Tesco’s or Sainsbury’s for their weekly shop every Saturday morning that scares me. Shopping in this way takes much of the enjoyment out of it and despite recipe cards all over the place, I feel it stifles creativity. There is [...]
