In an atmosphere of the seaside and the holidays, you will sample in the choice of pancakes of buckwheat or wheat the whole sprayed naturally with cider.
As I prefer buckwheat creps, I suggest you " la Tribord " (ham, cheese and apples) which is 7 € otherwise you can take "la complète" which will fill your appetite.
The prices vary from 5 to 9 € depending on the dishes.
The establishment serves naturally also buckwheat or wheat crepes for dessert.

Le Bistrot des Dames

Le Bistrot des Dames
18, rue des Dames
75017 PARIS
tel : 01 45 22 13 42

Located near the place of Clichy, this restaurant is to discover. Nicely decorated, it gives possibility in summer of lunch and dinner in terrace. It was not my case unfortunately. However, dinner was exquisite and very attentive service. At the mi - having cooked of tuna was delightful and the croustillade of Rhubarde true one delight. Prices are reasonable (18 € the tuna and 6 € the dessert).

LA COUPOLE


LA COUPOLE
102 Boulevard Montparnasse
Paris 14
Réservation : 01.43.20.14.20
www.lacoupoleparis.com

I haven't been to la Coupole for several years. I was a little suspicious at first, wondering if this restaurant does not live by its reputation. I therefore ordered the seafood plate.
The Coupole plate : ½ crab, 3 prawns, 12 oysters, 3 almonds, 3 Spanish mussels, whelks and 1 clam.
Price: 46,50 € on the card, but I paid 41.01 € with the application of reduced VAT.
Finally the balance of the evening was positive; the service is in the rules of art with special attention to women. My friends are regaled with the dinner menu and I with seafood. The bad point is the restaurant is quite noisy. A tip also, it is advisable to book this Saturday at 10pm we waited 30 minutes for a table.

Show Le Paradis Latin


Le Paradis Latin
28 rue du Cardinal Lemoine
75005 Paris
Metro : Cardinal Lemoine (line 10).
Web site

Located five minutes walk from the Hotel des Nations Saint Germain, Paradis Latin is one of the oldest cabarets in Paris. So an advice for the amateurs: This is a mythical hall. The lobby is filled with celebrity pictures. The evening starts at 8.00 pm with a dinner that gives just enough to fill the stomach, however for the drinks there is all you need. The show starts at 9.30 pm for a 1h30 show not really dazzling but sometimes funny and quite traditional. I particularly enjoyed the champagne and French cancan.

This bar-restaurant with its large terrace is located close to the Père-Lachaise cemetery.
You can just go for a drink but I am a regular of this place for the steak, homemade French-fries & salad. All the dishes are very hearty, prepared with fresh products and really affordable. For example homemade French-fries & salad 14.50 €.

L'Atelier Robuchon
5 rue de Montalembert
75007 Paris

Téléphone : 01.42.22.56.56
Horaires : Pour le déjeuner
- de 11h30 à 15h30
Pour le dîner
- de 18h30 à 24h00

A name which makes you dream!
L' Atelier is the simplified version of the Joel's Robuchon restaurant.
No reservations in advance! Just the day of the diner from 18h30, you must reserve for the evening! Easier when you know that for some restaurants you need to reserve weeks in advance!
Style is minimalist ! Japonese style, all black and red, soft lights, a big counter all around the kitchen from where you can watch your meals being prepared in the kitchen!
I took the discovery menu 9 courts/ small discovery portions. My favourites :
L’OEUF (Egg )
cocotte et sa crème légère de girolles

LE FOIE GRAS
de canard chaud, griottes, lamelles de rhubarbe rose et jus acidulé à l’hibiscus

L’AGNEAU DE LAIT (Lamb chop )
en côtelettes à la fleur de thym

LE CRABE
« soft shell » en tempura croustillante sur une purée d’avocat acidulée

The wine was excellent a Bourgogne "Mercurey Domaine Lorenzon"

For all those great things you should pay around 150 to 170 euros per person!

The only bad point is for the toilets, which were quite dirty at the end of the day.... It doesn’t fit with the rest of the restaurant. What a pity !

This restaurant is located two minutes from the Place de la Bastille, the atmosphere is electro-fashion, the summer the large bay window opens onto the street. I had a delicious beef carpaccio with rocket salad, basil leaves and parmesan and chips. It will cost you about 30 euros per person for a main course, dessert and a drink.
