Café Hugo
22 place des Vosges
75004 Paris
0142726404

One of Place des Vosges café-restaurant, it is on “rue du pas de mule” side. Place des Vosges is an old Royal place where you can find Victor Hugo's house. On Sunday a lot of people come here to visit the art galleries, to take advantage of the central garden, or to take a snatch in a restaurant outdoor area.
I choose to seat down at the café Hugo after reading the menu on the black-board. Roquette salad with Italian ham, Italian parmesan cheese, avocado, tomato (8.50 €), Perrier water (4.30 €), coffee (2.60 €). I just like everything in this place, food, wood & rock decoration, soft music, numerous but quiet clients, sunny place.
++young sweet and professional staff
+lemon slice served with Perrier water, little black chocolate with the coffee.

The “garden” atmosphere is in the decoration and in my plate. I choose from the day's menu the “Ragout de tempeh et tajine” (varied vegetables and rice) for 13 euros, a hearty meal + fresh lemon juice at 3.50 euros. I discover the Gomasio, bio salted sesame seeds (here everything is fresh and bio), revealed fabulous ingredient! Full vitamins is done!

LE DAUVILE
75, avenue des Champs Elysées
75008 PARIS
01.42.25.08.64


Walking on Champs Elysées Avenue, I stopped at the Deauville’s café, attracted by the waiters dressed as a sailor. Unfortunately, the waiter did not see me and I waited more than 10 minutes before deciding to make them sign. Happily, Perrier was accompanied with olives and with potato chips. In brief, it is not an address which I would recommend despite the amazing location.

Le Vin qui Danse !

It does no harm just this once, I venture into the 5th area of our dear Paris and surprise, near the Pantheon, nested on rue des Fossés Saint Jacques, a restaurant à vin makes me of the eye or rather the nose because to savour their wine it is necessary to have a good smell. This pretty restaurant offers you a pared-down card (5/6 entries, dishes, desserts ) accompanied with a so long wine list that we finally opted for advice of the waitress. It was delicious. I ate a mellow of lamb and its polenta in olives and for dessert one pana cotta of coco milk. The staff is very nice. If you go for a walk near the garden of Luxembourg or the Pantheon, do not forget this small restaurant.

Le Grain De Sel
Cuisine du monde
15, rue Sainte-Cécile
75009 Paris
Métro Grands Boulevards (lignes 8 et 9)

This small restaurant is located near the theatres Palace and Folies Bergère. The room has about 20 tables and is decorated with few plants and a big wooden bar.
But the best are the dishes. I took the day menu which was 12.50 € it included the Main : Chicken in Brazilian sauce (made with curry and coconut milk) accompanied with rice, it was delicious !
The dessert : brioche with apples and caramel sauce… I never thought it could be so good !

Situated just a step from the exit of the subway station "Abesses". You can take advantage of the terrace brightened up untill 7:00 pm. Furthermore, if you are lucky as me the other evening, you will have, the pleasure to listen to a group of musicians playing at the exit of the subway.

Le SANCERRE
35 rue des Abbesses
75018 PARIS

Small brasserie situated next to the theater Of Abbesses, where they shall reserve for you a warm welcome. This place is ideal for a fast dinner before going to the theater. I chosed a salad "My little Italy" at the price of 11 .5o euro. The salad was rather substantial.

I regrettably had no time to sample a dessert before returning me to the theater. Next time can be!!!

Angelina 1er
226 rue de Rivoli
75001 Paris
Metro : Tuileries (line 1)

Last Sunday I've tried the very famous tea room Angelina for a brunch. This place seems to be quickly not as good as we thought. Hardly of this report the waiter made us some confidences. The Angelina’s breakfast is available till 1h00 pm but it is already noon and we are imposed rationing in small croissants and similar products. They are also very sparing with their plates because there are not enough, but they are expecting the delivery. Trays loads of dishes cross above my head and the waiters push my chair, but again he admits us to miss space and invites us to have a look around the room. I would add that besides the room, our table also was too small for all it contains a full breakfast. Conclusion, only our stomach was delighted with the quality of products. The fresh orange juice taste fruit wall up! Next time, I would allow my self to be tempted by their speciality " Mont Blanc " meringue and hazelnut cream but I’ll take it at the counter of sale to go to enjoy it to the Tuileries Garden.
