Le Bistrot Paul-Bert Is Very Good – But I’m Not Sure It’s *That* Good
Le Bistrot Paul-Bert’s reputation precedes it… and for me, that’s part of the problem haunting this very good bistro.
Le Bistrot des Fables is Not My Favorite Bistro… But I’m Glad it Exists
Le Bistrot des Fables is not my favorite restaurant in Paris, but it does scratch an important itch. With its reasonable prices and copious – and possibly even excessive – portions of easy-to-love French classics without too many bells and whistles, it would be commendable no matter its location. But seeing as it’s just a few steps from the Eiffel Tower, it’s even easier to recommend this bistro.
Bobby Is the Place to Be for Pasta and Pizza in Paris
From the delicious food to the reasonable prices to the welcoming staff, I cannot recommend this Italian spot more highly, especially for vegetarians or those who need a night off from French food. Plus it’s open both Sundays and Mondays!

At Le Cadoret, The Ambiance and Starters Are Exquisite, but the Mains Leave Much to Be Desired
Unevenness plagues the menu of this convivial bistro. I will return, but next time time, I’ll order three appetizers and a dessert.
Flee Firmin le Barbier – You’re Better Off at a Supermarket
The promise of Firmin le Barbier’s stated goal of adding Thai twists to French classics in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower is a good one. Too bad it’s so poorly fulfilled.
Nonette’s New Spring Offerings Cement it as an 11th Arrondissement Fave
Banh mi and donuts are a match made in heaven – especially when they’re this delicious.
Le Jules Verne is a Pure Delight
Le Jules Verne was the very first Michelin-starred restaurant I ever went to, and now, just days after it earned its second star, I returned to enjoy one of the most pleasant, surprising, truly delicious fine dining meals I’ve ever had the pleasure to eat.
Hearty and Refined Aren’t Opposites at Le Pantruche
The surprising plays on bistro classics at le Pantruche make it the perfect lunchtime spot within walking distance of touristy Montmartre, especially on a cold autumn or winter day.
