I see you here, you have put on your best shoes, and left your wife to breast the youngest, to go to the Grands Boulevards enjoy a Coke Zero with your Italian cousin in a bad sushi bar? Is that reasonable? Do you know that life, true, nutritionists hell, is paved of goodies to anyone who will bother with a tad of cholesterol? Do you know that, as a Michel Berger-minus-the-tubes, you might anyway infarction on a tennis court? Whether you like Felix Faure tu ruptured aneurysm each marital indiscretion? Or worse, that you might like Balzac knocked off against the chimney after you have tripped over the soft carpet of the show? Think about it ... worth a little stew, right?
Anyway, here's what you refer to the bewildering jungle traders of crepes and kebab oozing fat, teeming Faubourg Montmartre and around. Within a radius of 500m around the station Grands Boulevards of Paris metro, which in my time was still called Rue Montmartre. But local residents have had enough of being asked the direction of the Sacred Heart by hordes of merry artists in Tokyo. And the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens finally hear them rattle moving. But hay
considerations rail, what have we below the elbow to put you in the tooth? (Our beautiful language is full of expressions actually retarded). And when our language is full, it is not that far from salivating. Come on!
For lunch first, few simple options: the pleasant Bogory 's Café, palm hospitality and kindness in the neighborhood, without genius sandwich but flawless, pasta salads and fruit for luncheurs hurry who want to balance some plush seats, but avoid rush hours. Formulas are doing well, all less than 9 €. In the adjoining gallery varieties, some good canteens, starting Bar Variety , the inimitable atmosphere is quaint, a little dirty as the boss, crowded, but the Beef Burger Salers holds road, served on request with a slice of foie gras, for cheap. The cheapest coffee in Paris (€ 1 tablespoon) is unfortunately not the most (1.50 € since mid-January), however it is still one of the least desirable. Small room stashed upstairs, so gambling for poker players. During our visit in mid-January, the boss seemed to take a millennium hangover accompanied by a secular senility, and he remained Eve party favors from the floor to ceiling bi-monthly cleaning, at best, so.
A little further into the passage, a good roast chicken organic, to 11.50 €, crisp and generous. Formula, however, preventable. Also note that the breakfast is that it is easier to get a table at trendy Passage 53 - soon a detailed review.
For a cocktail, nice bunch of vials of Zinc Cellars, served by the glass (14cl), to the pot (50), or bottle. Reasonable prices, this is not the case with dishes, too expensive for the brewery honest vacuum (salmon rillettes, 9 €, € 19 steak ... it's not!). You can push up the streets of Treviso, in Around a glass unlikely wine bar-restaurant in decor Deschiens-Friendly , with its selection of wines nature, which means some very nice bottles and lots of grape juice oxidized, sparkling, unstable, like most of these drinks too fragile Dung arrives at your table because they are poorly transported and poorly stored. One can dine there, simple and good. Prices that were soft but did not undergo the crisis (careful!), Home buddy, real nice atmosphere.
If you prefer beer and a long list of pubs interchangeable, as Sullivan's , and two or three cafés in the same barrel back to the boulevards Rex , and especially avoids the inept Café OZ welcomed by bouncers foul, rates surreal ( Mojito € 15 not good? Are you sure?) and music anywhere.
At this point you should begin to dinner for good, and it is possible! Few extra steps will lead you in Jean , starred restaurant in the Rue Saint-Lazare, welcome deadpan laugh very knowledgeable - and quirky - Jean-Frederic Guidoni, former director of Taillevent room and kitchen held high by Anthony Boucher recently invested (after Benoit Bordier, party in the suburbs, we'll talk to them both. And eggs, if necessary, even if it bears no relation). Rates accordingly.
can also - on request! This is crucial! - Dinner on Rue Richer in the Office , not so long best new restaurant in the capital category low prices, often stunning kitchen - which is nevertheless the minimum when it offers only two courses to choose from . But prices have increased, average ticket out wines around 40 € 26 he cons y 'just a year, and kitchen a bit less punchy. That's sad ransom laurels. Note that as Jean The Office have a wine special attractive - even a rare intelligence for Jean - at prices from.
Finally, for the regional, you can nibble bold, correct and Toulouse, surrounded by drunken rugby players in J'Go . Or go to greet us Francesco, one of the very competent servers unbeatable I Golosi , Italian top-flight cuisine - pasta miraculous wine cellar full of bottles dazzling (but you will not know that word of mouth, otherwise you will have to settle for bimonthly selection, small but still relevant), real nice authentic Italian cuisine, local produce, with occasional flashes of genius ( randomly a few meals: fondantissime a lamb, veal tartare with truffles and cheese that we brought a tear to the eye, a wonderful polenta, place the yellow lemons, artichokes air, real Vongole, and a model tiramisu). Addition elastic, 20 € per head for pasta and a glass of wine, very expensive for a full meal with truffles and great wines.
remains to meet our friends a night owl, with a real nice surprise: Porte Montmartre, brewery open 24/24 and 7 / 7, cooking very respectable - although rare cheeseburger, salads and quiches that defend themselves really well, and the joy of eating a great prime rib at 4am, generous portions, almost invariably warm welcome, pro and Care, which is passed to 14h or later in the evening. A model of cool beer, so much less taken the lead as Brébant facing it with its beautiful scenery, but where a server haughty nibbling on plates of fries waiting on the past before bringing them to the customers (sic ) By pushing a little further south but this time it can also be very pleased by opening a Cote Rotie La Turque 2005 - I dare not reveal the price until it's gift - the Vaudeville famous brewery facing the exchange, which in turn is dangerously loose on the rate of solids ... open late, host variable. Across the Boulevard is no longer the General Lafayette , brewery also correct, frequented by some birds and the midnight theater people freshly sorted applause (yes, yes, put away, as it is for cars).
And last but not least, the place where - come rain, snow or sale, and any time of day and night - do not put your feet, I named: ROOTS. One day I'll tell you, but for now, I still have the wallet too badly.
