Because all I can tell you is It's Just Really Cool. That's all I'm going to say. And because of the Narnia wardrobe. I'm really not telling you anything else. Just go. (Oh, and the fish is excellent).

RESTAURANT: Le Réconfort
Because I've been going here for years, and even though the place has abandoned its cutesy-colourful look in favour of designer-chic, the menu has essentially stayed the same. Because said menu is printed inside second-hand books. Because the food is simple, very French, and yummy. Because it's a fabulous date place, even if you're not on a date.

RESTAURANT: Les Philosophes
Because of the Tarte Tatin à la Tomate. Because it's the best place to bring tourists, without paying tourist prices. Because the outside tables are always full and after you've managed to get your hands on one, you feel cool.

ReplyDeleteDerriere, j'adore! Did you check their smoking room? (although we should, most definitely, both quit!)... My other favorite is 404, the cool Moroccan next door, and by the same owner Momo who'd made quite a name for himself in London...
