Restaurant du Rond Point

tel : 01 44 95 98 44

Located within the theatre of the Rond Point, this restaurant is ideal before going to see one of the shows. Reservation is hard recommended to avoid waiting and to be sure of having a table because the restaurant is pretty small.
Service is quick and efficient. I was a bit disappointed by my risotto of St Jacques and Gambas (seafoods were very good but the rice had nothing special). On the contrary, I liked the chocolate cake. Ambience is rather convivial and nervous. The waiters do not stop running but they are very courteous and nice.

Located right in front of the Nord station, this brasserie is incredible! Crowdy, Art deco, busy waiters, no doubt, we are definitely in a brasserie.
As the manager who received us was nice and smiling, as our maitre of hotel was unfriendly.
Concerning the cuisine, I took bulots and shrimps. I was disappointed enough because bulots was tough, tasteless, what is amazing for a brasserie specialized in sea food. For dessert, I took one classic: a floating island. Nothing too bad but not extraordinary either. For sure, I won’t go back.

Montmarte street is a really good place for good restaurants.. Open till 6 am, this restaurant does not empty and the really frenchy cuisine (kidneys, foot of the pork, blood sausages.) is in adequacy with the relaxed and typically Parisian atmosphere.
Waiters are efficient and nice and the cuisine is as high as the rest: Generous, very good and so French. I really liked kidneys and the tarte Tatin. Therefore in your discovery of Montmarte Street, do not hesitate to wait a little bit when they find you a place, you will not be disappointed.

Attention: extraordinary! Located on the street Montmartre, this tiny restaurant is a really a discovery. With 20 seatings, we shared the wall seat with an american couple who was very nice. The atmosphere is incredible thanks to the boss, yellow pantsl and white beard (is he Santa Claus’ brother ?), good shape despite his 73 years old, and the waiter, not an young person either but so nice.
On top of that, the meat was tasty and the mousse of chocolate was terrific. Do not hesitate to go and discover this restaurant but it is necessary to be lucky to have a table.

The wife of the chief welcomed us, she is very nice and taking time to explain us dishes. We had the chance to be able to discuss with the chief at the end of meal and we really felt his passion for the kitchen.
This type of restaurant where the chief is so emphasized is rarest and rarest, that's why you should not hesitate to push the door of La Grande Ourse.

Cueva del Diablo

If you are tired with the traditional French restaurant, you can try this small Argentinean place. This restaurant is within 5-7 minutes walk from the hotel des nations saint germain, rue cardinal-lemoine, almost next door from the cabaret “Le Paradis Latin”. Of course as an Argentinean restaurant, their specialities are meat, and I must say that I was not disappointed by the quality. I took the lamb and it was well cooked, very tender as was the beef of my wife. It was accompanied with corn mashed which is quite different from the potatoes mashed I am used to but overall it was very good. Also the red wine was exceptional.
The service was really nice and professional. The atmosphere cheerful with of course some Tango as backside music.
Regard the prices; I will say it is in the average in Paris. Unfortunately they do not propose menus, it is only “A la carte”, for two persons we spent 90€ for starter, main dish and desert, with wine included also (24€).

For my 8 month late Christmas gift my busy sister invited me to Paradis du Fruit (fruit paradise) located at Bastille.

I had a bad impression of the brand since at Creteil Soleil comercial centre I had bad welcome but also for the expensive prices they apply to their juices. But this time it was different.

You should count around 14euros for a main dish well served. I had a Makmaskol for 12.90 euros at first view it looked good, for smell it is also good and for taste it was Really Good! The desserts cost around 8 euros I had an Aphrodite for 8.90 euros. It was good but not extra!
Also service was good.

This small restaurant is situated close to the square of the hillock. The executive is pleasant and modern, very colored at once. I was a little surprised by entering by seeing the executive with regard to the outside. I have tested a “crêpe” ham / cheese / eggs at the 7-euro price with 33cl of dry cider at the 4-euro price. The pate of the “crêpe” was not very cooked but it was furnished well. I continued with a chocolate-brown crepe almond at the 6-euro price. I was too greedy because I was not able to end it. In fact I thought that it was about almond fringe and not of powder of almond. Things being what they are, the service and the welcome were very pleasant.

Nice walk in Paris
I wanted to go to the Louvre Museum on July 14th but the line quickly got me discouraged then I decided to walk along the Seine in the direction of “Notre-Dame”. I thus continued on Rivoli street to take on the right the banks of the Seine quickly. Regrettably the secondhand booksellers in border of the Seine were not opened (green boxes along the Seine River). I thus have pursued my stroll along the Seine to arrive finally at Notre-Dame Cathedral. There was again the line but it quickly decreased. I thus took the line to enter after 5 minutes only the cathedral of “Notre Dame”. Then I was able to rediscover the beauty of stained glasses and the architecture of the Cathedral. By going out, it was cold a little bit then before returning me towards the Saint Louis Island I made a small stopping place to warm myself in the bar and restaurant Esmeralda.
Having made the tour of the Saint Louis Island, I come back by the road of Notre-Dame to take the RER C at the level of Saint Michel.

You learn the small as the big stories of Montmartre. Along the visit, comedians appear to tell us stories of olden times. At the end of the visit you are absorbed with Montmartre and all the participants to the visit groups together behind the Sacred Heart Basilica to sing a hurdy-gurdy French song.

The restaurant FUXIA is an excellent Italian restaurant with other things on the card than pasta and pizzas. This changes!!!! For my part, I took antipasti Fuxia (vegetables were grilled and marinaded in the olive oil accompanied with Italian charcuterie). So delicious. For dessert, an icecream with limoncello Do not forget the delightful effervescent red wine: the lambrusco. Ideal to start the week end.

I ate buckwheat crepe with salmon and cream, then a sweet crepe with chocolate and coconut, and drank two bowls of cider for 22.80 euros. The young waitress did the balance, her kindness weighed in front of the thin buckwheat crepe that had the name but not the taste. Review: not as good as I thought.

La Croissanterie
168 Bd St Germain

Please don't take this review for all restaurants of the same chain. We can never know as each restaurant is managed by a different person.
But the Croissanterie of Boulevard Saint Germain is a place you should avoid.
At the first look you have a restaurant with old but not too bad decoration. But food is expensive for what they sell. I paid 4.20 for a Minutemaid and a lemon meringue pie (Tarte au Citron). I really love la lemon meringue pie, and most of the times I go to the bakery I choose them even if they are more expensive than other pastries. But this one wasn't good at all. I couldn't finish it.
Then I tried the toilets. There was only one place for ladies and gentlemen also it was dirty, water on the floor and all around the sink.
I am sure that you will find better places around. There is one bakery on Jacob street near St Germain church, you can take there your French pastries and eat them at Square Laurent Prache. At same street La Durée is may be more expensive but much best.

We saw a small document on TV about Albert Khan and his works for photography. So we decided to go there just after lunch. We took the good decision as when going out there was a long waiting line.
The exhibition seems interesting but everything is in French. We did not look the permanent exhibition so we can not even say if there is one. We preferred to go to the gardens. It is really nice landscape (with examples of gardens from the world). We loved the Japanese garden.
We did not have time to visit all the gardens but we will go back there it only cost 1.5€!
I really thing that the gardens are good idea for a ballad if you have some extra time free!!

Loire Valley chateaux, a coment from Anais

An excellent week-end at the Loire Valley

« Waste a day at the Loire Valley when visiting Paris ? No way…” This is what I used to say before last week-end.
If you are staying one week or more in Paris, do not miss the Loire Valley, it is a very good choice!

We leaved Paris Saturday afternoon and had time to visit 3 castles during 2 days: Chambord, Chenonceau, and Amboise (half day per place).

What can I say about the castles? Well, there are no words to describe their beauty. It is a must do in France. The landscapes are also marvellous.
My favourite? Chambord, thanks to the marvellous guide we had.
Also people are helpful and reserved us a very nice welcome there.

Something is sure: If you go there by your self you must prepare well your days. You will have to rent a car, wake up early, prepare your routes in order to have nice landscapes and count lots of money (it is expensive).
There is a very good web (English) to prepare your visit : chateauxtourisme

You can also take a guided tour with Cityrama, VisitFrance…

And of course have a great visit!

I am thinking about going back there for one week but in one or two years during summer… That is the privilege about living in Paris…

It is a really small chateau. When arriving there we were disappointed. Compared to Chambord is like a small house compared to a big building. But after the visit we came to the conclusion that both are very interesting. Chenonceau is plenty of tales about Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de Medicis…
Also it is better to visit on summer and spend half day there for the gardens and surroundings.

Built for François 1er. Count 2 or 3hrs for the castle and few more for the surroundings as it is very nice seen from the out side.
The castle is really cold during winter.
We took a French speaking guide and she explained us lots of things about this place: The history and the true-false links with Leonard de Vinci. We were also told that lots of decoration is similar reconstitutions and not the real furniture that was there at the 16th c.*. We loved the visit. The stairs are really funny. The castle is plenty of French history and recalls to François 1er.
There is video explaining the chateau (subtiteled in English) it is also interesting.

*She explained to us that the Kings court used to travel and the furniture travelled with them. So the places used to be empty for a while.

The Château is open all year round except on New Year’s Day, 11 november and Christmas Day.

For drink I had sparkling water at 3 euros.
There are the specialties of the house written in marker on white Venetian mirrors, wooden furniture, and water glasses that bring us back to childhood when we used to ask our friend "how old are you?" and read the answer at the bottom of the glass. The answer is still there.
In addition staff proves to be careful.

A true classic for the general idea that we can have about French catering. For me the most pleasant about Guy Tardif cooking is the variety of food that make each of his dishes.
I ate a starter, Cassoulet of snails from Burgundy with Tardis beans and sauteed mushrooms. Then I had a main-course, pikeperch watercress sauce and green vegetables.
The Menu is 25 euros.
The bad is that after eating it, there is no more space for a real dessert. So I had a coffee which comes with its little cakes (5 euros). The wine list is impressive in its size and price.
I finished the evening with this idea; I always come to be happy after a good meal.

Big room, typically Chinese decoration, numerous staff. In brief, everything took place well, the fondue was delightful and very light. There is two bouillons, a peppered, other one softer and we cook vegetables and seafoods there. And then here the karaoké began!!! Me who sings only under my shower, and with good reasons!!! Must push the ditty in front of customers who take the karaoké very seriously. An instant of shame being quickly past, I crossed the microphone to the Chinese customers who loved the karaoké and this agrees, they all sing very well, them!
