The place fills up very quickly since it can only host up to 37 guests, so make sure to come early if you want to get in. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Finally France has caught on: Americans love their bagels (and brownies).

Delicious French meals are promised at the corner of rue de Varenne and rue du Bac. The café with its imitation leather seats and lack of décor manages to exude a rather subdued look. After eating here once you'll know the reason for its popularity. Scrumptious dishes and a fairly extensive range of wines are served up. No wonder it is often visited by celebrities and politicians.

Open 24 hours a day, L'Atelier ("The Workshop") attracts a much younger crowd than the legendary 1930s cafés in the neighborhood.

The Happy Hour from 7p to 9p every evening. Expect to pay around EUR7 for a cocktail and EUR3.50 for a beer. Review © 2007, Wcities |

As you browse through the hundreds of Café that lace this avenue, you may not notice that the Café Signes is quite different. Welcome to Paris' first café where the hearing impaired and the hearing are on equal footing - here, you find the customers and staff using their hands to communicate. All 45 of the staff are hearing impaired, and if you don't know how to use the sign language, the menu has some cute tips - make a steeple shape and you will get French fries. You can also point or write down your order. The steak fries are worth a try here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The genuine taste |
10-12 Place Constantine Brancusi Paris France +33 1 4322 0901 |
This restaurant is an ode to all seafood lovers, and a tribute to the cooking style of La Charente, the flat sandy district on the south of Bordeaux. Using no sauce or spice, the seafood is fresh and retains its original taste. The mastermind behind this restaurant is the owner and Chef Allamandou. If you're confused to make a choice from the menu, request for his favorite dish - the Red Mullet, which is baked in rock salt or sautéed in oil. Only white wine is served here.

Micheline Coat, a former colleague and longtime friend of many ministers in the previous government, welcomes the Parisian political fraternity in style. Jean-François Rouquette (Christian Constant's ex right-hand man at the Crillon) proves himself a talented whizz in the kitchen.

Hemingway and Henry Miller are long gone, but you can still find tomorrow's artistic revolutionaries on the Boulevard Montparnasse if you know where to look. Start at the Cosmos Café, an eccentric bar where one can have a drink but also watch movie classics on a big screen (on Wednesday evenings). There is a good choice of drinks and snacks - a tad bit expensive. Traditional French cuisine: snails, beef undercut, etc. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Double crêpes for everyone! |
67 Rue de Montparnasse Paris 75014 France +33 1 4320 9350 |
The decor in this Montparnasse crêperie seeks like many others to recreate a typical Breton atmosphere; the difference is that here they have definitely achieved that rustic rural feel. So is it to stay true to that feel that they do not accept credit cards! Josselin serves delicious buckwheat crepes with a variety of fillings ranging from regular ham and cheese to smoked salmon. The main difference is that in this particular crepe-house, they serve double crepes. The place is packed every night: probably the most popular crêperie in the neighborhood. Review © 2007, Wcities |

If you're looking for some peace and quiet, you will love this place. This bistro is popular among the locals for the varied, colorful & traditional French dishes it serves. The reception and service provided is also note worthy. The menu consists of simple dishes. You can try out the Filet de rouget sur tartine de Tapenade. During winter they also serve game dishes.

Tucked away in a small street behind the Assemblé Nationale and the French Ministry of the Defense, this old-fashioned, rustic restaurant is a must-visit. Wooden ceiling beams, mustard silk walls, old leather chairs and individual lamps on each table make the ambiance cozy and intimate. Hearty traditional fare includes beef you can cut with a spoon. The patron Francis Vandenhende, studied under the famous Gaston Lenôtre. His desserts are exquisite. Great people-spotting, with journalists, politicians and military big brass by day, showbiz by night. Jimmy Carter, François Mitterand, Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Hugh Grant have all dined here. Service by the short-sleeved, bow-tied waiters is friendly and relaxed, if unhurried. But what's the hurry? You're down on the farm. -Jean Grogan Review © 2007, Wcities |
