Au DERRICK CATALAN
346 rue Lecourbe
PARIS XV
01.45.58.48.75

I was fortunate to discover this little restaurant where the hostess served us typical Catalan dishes.
Food is housemaid like aioli sauce, bread crumbs… A real festival for your taste buds!
I ate Sepias a la Plancha (mushrums), Calamares a la romana (calamari) and Lemon tart (total EUR 22.50)
I also took a bottle of Sangre de toro red wine(21.00 euros). I would not fail to return.

I entered in this restaurant incidentally, I was first attracted by the musicians who have played this evening there. They were only 2 but they put a very much nice ambience which eclipsed all rest. The atmosphere was warm but service was not realy at the top really. We had to ask 2 or 3 times to have something to drink and eat.

In brief, it is really an address to be kept for live music but indeed not for quality of service.

HAMMAM A LA MOSQUEE DE PARIS

HAMMAM AT LA MOSQUEE DE PARIS
39, rue Geoffroy-St-Hilaire
75005 Paris
Tél: 01.43.31.38.20

Today Monday I'll find the Steam Bath of the Paris Mosque. I recommend consulting days available, some are reserved for women and others are exclusively for men. After having crossed the terrace I take the left door on which hangs a sign "Women only hammam”. After a small room I found the reception. I opt for the 38€ formula. For that price I have the right to access to the steamed room, soap, a scrub, a massage of 10 minutes, a tea. The The steam bath is composed of 3 large rooms. With common areas and places more quiet. After 1 hour under steam I join a gloved lady who will work to make myself a makeover. Then I walk into the main room where I lay on benches sipping tea. I turn on the massage table, 10 minutes: is too short, but divine. Finally, I quit leaving me behind tension and toxins. The experience was positive overall, pity that the locker room does not completely hang of these cases also regrettable that the use of hair dryer self pay.

Located just a step away from the Porte Maillot, this nice restaurant is very well decorated. In the tones of grey, the decoration is discreet and good taste. Service is flawless and the food is delightful. I took a steak tartare prepared with French fries. Small reservation on the steak tartare: pricking was missing; they must have forgotten the famous sauce Worcestershire which makes all difference. For dessert, I really liked their apple crumble and bowl of salt caramel ice cream.
