 Best sauerkraut in Paris |
7 Cour des Petites-Écuries (entrée par le 63, rue du Fg Saint Denis) Paris 75010 France +33 1 4770 1359 http://www.floparis.com/ |
Located in a well-known area, this old German brasserie dates back to 1886 and still holds the record for the best sauerkraut in Paris. The brasserie, which is in surprisingly good condition despite its age, has welcomed movie stars in its time. Sarah Bernhardt apparently dined on sauerkraut here, when she was doing a play at the Théâtre de la Renaissance. The décor is divine, especially the elaborate ceilings, the leather booths and the stained glass window separating the rooms. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hanging with students |
10 Rue de la Grange-aux-Belles Paris 75010 France +33 1 4208 2461 |
This little café with its weird wooden decorations, is an interesting place to hang out and grab a meal. The menu consists of a mish-mash of cuisines from mustard chicken to Syrian specialties and offering Sangria and other cocktails. On the weekends, the café has theatre workshops and often has live concerts by local bands. It is a popular hang-out for students since the prices are very reasonable. So if you're backpacking your way round Europe, this is a good place to meet young people and get some more traveling tips. Review © 2007, Wcities |

2003 marked the centenary of this oh-so-Parisian brasserie. Chez Julien is a French National Heritage site with its stunningly authentic Art Nouveau decor. Located in the colourful red-light district, behind its red velvet curtains, Chez Julien's hearty cuisine of Warm Oysters, Foie Gras & Choucroute is as delightfully traditional as the surroundings.

French delicacies are cooked in a very contemporary style at Michel's. The convivial atmosphere puts you perfectly in sync with the Fried Bacon accompanied with jacketed potatoes or with mashed potatoes. Book a table in advance or you'll have to wait in queue. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brandy on the banks of the Canal St-Martin |

After a stroll along the canal, this traditional bistro is a great place to stop in. Originally opened to receive the World Cup soccer crowds in 1998, it hasn't emptied since then! Good habits form quickly and die hard! Savour a coffee, a glass of good wine, or try one of the house brandies if you feel up to it. Cheese and cold-cut platters are also available until 10pm. You can expect to pay EUR2 for a beer and EUR14 for a Sunday brunch. Review © 2007, Wcities |

119 Avenue Parmentier Paris 75011 France +33 14 355 2627 http://www.chez-raymonde.com |
This 11 Arrondissment establishment touts itself as "Paris' Gourmet Cabaret". It offers a kooky evening of drinking, dining, and surreal entertainment as the chef steps onto the floor and dances waltzes with the staff and audience to the beat of a tiny orchestra. The dining hall seats 40 people. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Everybody salsa |
18 Rue du Faubourg-du-Temple Paris 75011 France +33 1 4021 3814 http://www.favelachic.com/ |
An abundance of green plants, statuettes of the Virgin Mary and warm, vibrant colors are all part of the charm of the capital's best Brazilian bar and restaurant. Taste the Caïpirinha Cocktails (rum, soda, fresh mint), great Brazilian food and dance the night away to some hot Latin sounds. Don't expect to get in without a fight; dress to impress and expect to brave some serious line-ups. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Oldest Chocolate Shop in Paris |
63 Rue Charbol Paris France +33 1 47 70 48 34 http://www.evolutionbuilder.co... |
This tiny chocolate shop may be located in an unglamorous part of the 10th arrondissement and is decidedly lacking in swank, but who cares? The chocolate is superb and the prices are as unpretentious as the neighborhood. Le Furet Tanrade, which has been fabricating chocolates, jams and other confections since 1728, obviously knows what it's doing. All chocolates are handmade and range from classic pralinés and truffles to exotic hemp-infused ganaches. The chocolates are unlabeled, so you'll have to ask for help or take your chances. But given the high quality of these delights, it'd be hard to go wrong. -Barbara Diggs Review © 2007, Wcities |

Free Food at an Arab Bar |
3 cour des Petites Ecuries Paris 75010 France +33 1 47 70 57 08 http://le-tribal-cafe.ifrance.... |
This bar is down an unremarkable street, but it's full every night, because of the free food deals. After 9:00pm, Le Tribal Cafe offers free mussels and chips on Wednesday and Thursday and chicken couscous Friday and Saturday. Just sit down, order a drink, and your food will be brought to you. This deal is no secret with the university students, who come weekly to sit out on the terrace or inside the homey bar, and they stay all night, dancing to the Arab music or chatting with other regulars. Once you have a seat, don't give it up. - Emily Monaco Review © 2007, Wcities |

Seaside Fare in the City |
55 Quai de Valmy Paris 75010 France +33 01 42 39 69 81 |
With a charmingly 1920-style interior, well-priced fare and a lively clientele, La Marine has established itself as a local favorite. The kitchen serves up a full menu of both contemporary and traditional French cuisine, with a strong emphasis on seafood and "home-cooking" (just the way Grandma makes it). The hearty food is inexpensive (EUR 15) at lunchtime and is popular among local businesspeople. During the evening, the atmosphere becomes somewhat fancier, a change that is reflected in the clientele and also in the menu, which can double in price (EUR 30). During peak hours, the restaurant can be packed, so be sure to arrive early or venture outside to the terrace to get away from the crowds. Review © 2007, Wcities |
