Le paradis du fruit
4 rue saint honoré
75001 Paris
Metro : Les Halles (lines 4 & 14 RER A, B & D)
http://www.leparadisdufruit.fr/

This is an address with no default. Ideally, the kitchen is open from morning until evening to prepare a dish chosen from the menu or composed by oneself. For my part I chosed the Goody-Woody: toasted bread topped with chicken curry with chips and a mixed salad (12.50 euros). Verdict: hearty and light to digest, tasty and fresh. This place specialties are the fruit cocktails. This restaurant has been recently re-decorated, it's just beautiful, soothing. The seats are ultra comfortable and the ceiling gives dreams. For info Le Paradis du Fruit likes Michael Jackson, we had his music all evening and a client suddenly raised to cross the room to Moonwalk!

DELAVILLE CAFE
34 Bvd Bonne Nouvelle
75010 Paris

Metro : Bonne Nouvelle (lines 8 & 9)

Close to numerous theatres, Delaville Café is the ideal place to begin your friday evening. The restaurant is splendid, simple decoration but very "trendy" ( dilapidated ceiling, monumental stairs), the atmosphere is almost surrealist. There is a the side bar which privatized this evening and the restoring side. The card is composed of international dishes (burger, antipasti, etc, etc) in reasonable prices (15-20 € the dish and 6-7 € the dessert) ). I took a burger and I loved. The bread was loving, ventilated and crispy. On the contrary, for dessert, I took one pana cotta without a lot of taste.

Restaurant in Paris : KONG


Kong – le Bar

1, rue du Pont Neuf,
75001 Paris
Tél. 01 40 390 900
Métro : Pont Neuf (line 7) and Chatelet (lines 1, 4, 11 & 14)

Facing the oldest bridge in Paris there is a building at the foot of which you can find Kenzo Boutique and just after a huge glass door opens cordially giving access to two lifts. In this transparent cab I take the ascension to the fifth floor. I join a table in the middle of this scenery clean and Japanese-designed by Philippe Starck. I particularly like the customer thirty trendy and chic, techno music lounge and cocktail Kong :
The Caipiroska red fruit composed of vodka, lime, sugar, mashed red fruit (15 euros).
Too bad the staff are somewhat haughty. Not to be missed for any reason the restaurant on the sixth floor.

Chez Lili & Marcel (Paris)

CHEZ LILI ET MARCEL
1, Quai d’Austerlitz
75013 Paris
tel : 01 45 85 00 08

To be honest, I was not happy to have dinner in a restaurant which is called « Chez Lili et Marcel ». I told myself that it would be an old not very appetizing and seedy bistro. But when I arrived, my doubts flew off. Located at the corner of the quay of Austerlitz, this restaurant is rather big to accept big tables of a bit loud mates!!!! but offers also small quiet corners for couples. . . Decoration is splendid, with its hurdy-gurdies iron boardwalk of chocolat meunier or some bouillon Kub. Restoration is worthy of the name, generous, introduced well and rates are reasonable. Concerning the service, nothing to say, the team was very nice and professional. I have only one desire: go back to it.

Going out of an exhibition, I wanted to eat sushi! Unfortunately, it should not be the best quarter for it. We walked in front of a very nice Japanese restaurant where the first menu was 30 €, told myself, let' s go on. And there, on the street of Colisée, we saw a small Japanese restaurant. Happy to have finally found of where to restore, I got first disappointed because there was no sushi on the menu but soups!!! I will know it for next time, not all Japanese restaurants make sushis! In brief, curious to discover their soup, I took a 10.50 € menu and yes, I have been agreeably surprised. Steamed Raviolis were very light and perfumed. As for the soup, they have the choice of bouillon: (light) soya or (thick) miso. With noodles, pork and other vegetables. At this place One have the right to a delightful complete meal.

L’ECLUSE
34 PLACE DU MARCHE SAINT HONORE
75001 PARIS
01 42 96 10 18
Metro : Pyramides (line 14 and 7)


Wanting to drink a very fresh beer, we stopped in….. a bar à vin !!!!! It is necessary to say that the place is very nice, warm-hearted, the staff is kind and attentive and not at all surprised when we asked for a beer instead of a glass of wine. Located on the Place du marché Saint Honoré (it is really necessary to go to see it, it is a small place which is worth the detour and that I appreciate a lot), this bar à vin is worth to have a drink. Served with the sausage and with the radish (what else !), beers were very freshl, as we like.

La Botte d'Italie
55 BLD ST MARTIN
75003 PARIS
Métro : Strasbourg St Denis (line 4, 8 & 9)
TEL : 01 42 77 96 97


Located in front of the Porte saint Martin and numerous theatres of the quarter, this Italian restaurant is an ideal starting point to have good diner before or after the nocturnal activities of this quarter. Decoration is warm-hearted with a vespa put down on the bar and the staff is very pleasant and attentive. As for the kitchen, nothing to repeat. Their pasta is very good and abounding. An advice really, the restaurant filled at about 22 h – 22h30 after the exit of theatres, it was impressive. Therefore, try to go a little there before to have a good table !

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.
