Le Bistrot Paul Bert
- Good food.
- Good service.
- Good ambiance.
- A great wine list, with plenty of options for everyone and every budget!
If you’re looking for a place where you can go with friends, family or even colleagues, then this is it!
Le Comptoir General
The first time I went to Le Comptoir General, I was immediately struck by its casual atmosphere and friendly service. The restaurant is located in the 10th arrondissement, which is close enough to central Paris that it’s easy to get to but far enough away so that you can escape from tourists if you want.
The food here is French–you’ll find classics like steak frites and croque monsieur on their menu (the former of which comes highly recommended). As for drinks, there’s an extensive selection of wine from all over France as well as craft beer from breweries around Paris such as La Goutte D’Or brewery or Brasserie de la Ligne 13 Brewery (whose owner also happens to own Le Comptoir General). If beer isn’t your thing, try one of their cocktails; my favorite is called “Le Feu De Bois.” It includes gin infused with tropical fruits like pineapple and mango!
La Cave des Abbesses
La Cave des Abbesses is a wine bar in the Montmartre district of Paris. It’s a great place to go for an afternoon drink and some snacks, or even just to stop by for something after dinner. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming–it’s like being at your favorite uncle’s house!
Pizza L’Affriolante
Pizza L’Affriolante

These are some of my favorite restaurants in Paris:
- Chez L’Ami Jean (http://www.chezl-ami-jean.com/) is a cozy spot with traditional French food and friendly service. The menu changes daily, so you’re sure to find something new every time you go! They also have a great selection of wines and spirits to pair with your meal.
- L’Auberge de la Vieille Tour (http://www.aubergevieilletourparis15eme.com/) has a beautiful garden patio where you can enjoy your meal while watching people pass by on the street below or taking in the scenery from inside this lovely restaurant; it’s hard not to love this place! The food here is delicious too – I recommend trying their steak au poivre sauce or any other dish from their specialties menu when visiting next time around 🙂
