Paris

Chez Janou

Supposedly the best chocolate moose in Paris.

Paris

Bistrot Paul Bert

The neighbourhood itself — the eastern 11th, around Rue Paul Bert and Rue de la Roquette — is worth an hour before dinner. Less touristy than the Marais, more lived-in. It's the Paris that still exists for the people who actually live there. Steak frites in the copper pan. A bottle of something red. That's the whole evening sorted.

Tip · ParisLe Verre VoléLe Verre Volé has been on the Canal Saint-Martin since 2000 — back when the 10th was still a neighbourhood rather than a destination. It's a wine shop that also serves food, or a restaurant that happens to sell bottles to take home, depending on which way you're coming at it. The distinction doesn't really matter once you're sitting down. If you're doing the natural wine thing in Paris, this is a good stop. Among many. Enjoy.

Tip · ParisHôtel Les Rives OceanikThe Latin Quarter earns its reputation — narrow streets, the kind of Paris that still feels like Paris. The hotel puts you right in it without charging Île Saint-Louis prices to do so. Skip the hotel breakfast. Walk to Luxembourg, find a café on the way. That's your morning sorted.
