7 of the Best Places to Eat in Paris on a Sunday. Sundays in Paris can surprise with a soft thud of disappointment, since most shops and restaurants are closed.
Once you get used to the stillness of the city, it has a certain melancholy charm, but the problem remains: Where to eat? The answer used to be brasseries like La Coupole and the Brasserie Balzar, but quality has tanked as their prices have gone up. So here’s where the locals go for a delicious dejeuner ou diner on dimanche. 1. L’Ambassade d’Auvergne, 22 rue du Grenier Saint-Lazare, 3rd Arrondissement, (33) 01-42-72-31-22. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Roseval - Restaurant. Philou. I always want to put Philou in my Paris favorites list.
It’s got so much going for it; a friendly staff, it’s just enough out-of-the way that it attracts a good mix of mostly people who live in the neighborhood with others who come from other parts of the city, their menu features game and wild birds when in season, and when I look at the handwritten chalkboard, everything on it looks good. Plus the prices are gentle, at just €25 for a 2-course menu, or €30 if you choose three courses*. It’s what I would like to call an eminently likeable restaurant, but I’m always afraid I’m going to spell ‘likeable’ wrong and get in trouble for it. So let’s just say that it’s the kind of place that I really like. Speaking of things I like, I also like the fact that they have an ample list of wines by the glass (€4), 1/2 liter, or full liter (€26), all democratically priced.
Paris: Holybelly Kinfolk. Good coffee in Paris. Café Craft. Craft, c’est un café ?
Oui et non. Craft, c’est un café conçu pour travailler dans de bonnes conditions. Si c’est trop petit chez toi, ou que les voisins s’étripent, ou que les travaux font trop de bruit, ou que tu veux juste changer d’air, ou que ton internet plante, ou que le voisin a changé le mot de passe de son wifi – tu viens bosser chez Craft. C’est fait pour toi. Brunch Paris : Petit guide des brunchs pas chers - Restaurants. Colorova in Paris. Colorova Pâtisserie. Those who have been to Paris can attest, most patisseries aren't meant for lingering and they certainly aren't focused on design.
Enter Colorova, a new left bank patisserie-cum-salon de thé that marries contemporary design- graphic wallpaper, artisanal furniture and bright Tunisian fabrics - with traditional pastries and a market fresh savory menu for lunch and weekend brunch. It's an intimate home away from home suitable for laptop-toting gourmands or friends looking to catch up with a pot of tea and an alarmingly decadent and attractive sweet treat. Whether you fancy a classic millefeuille or an original cheesecake (that strawberry-lined specimen above), you will leave régalé. If you opt for lunch or brunch, be sure to book a table in advance as space fills up quickly (trust me, you'll want to try their savory menu. I'm still salivating over this soup from lunch!). Check out my article on T Magazine and browse the slideshow for little anecdotes on Colorova's design elements.
Colorova Pâtisserie & Salon de Thé. Last Friday, which happened to be an amazing day already, Louis and I stumbled upon Colorova… by surprise!
It turned into the most wonderful spontaneous breakfast. Colorova opened in Paris only a week ago, and has so much to share with you all! It’s clean and simple look, delicious food and comfy atmosphere is pure perfection. Their mint SMEG fridge will catch your eye as soon as you walk in. Colorova is mainly a bakery but also a tea room. This certainly is one of my new favorite places and I can’t wait to go back all the time. My Paris, Week 13: Rose Bakery, Poilâne, Merci Diane, A Broad. October 7, 2012 I’ll be honest, reader.
I’ve been a little heartsick this week. To cheer myself up, I took myself out on a lot of nice lunches in light-filled restaurants and visited lots of pretty streets despite my tired soles. Rose Bakery 46 rue des Martyrs, 75009 (Notre Dame de Lorette) 01 42 82 12 80 Bread and butter is my snack of choice when things aren’t going well. Poilâne 38 rue Debelleyme, 75003 (Filles du Calvaire) Tel +33 (0) 1 44 61 83 39. Kooka Boora Diane, A Broad. April 3, 2013 Surrounded by the many music and instrument shops of South Pigalle, and facing onto a sunny square, Kooka Boora is a bustling café serving excellent espresso drinks, filter coffee, fresh-pressed juices, teas, and snacks.
It’s another in the recent spate of Australian coffee shops in the city. Always crowded, the free wifi and trendy location join for outstanding combined work-doing and people-watching. Bio Burger, la cantine du burger healthy. C’est vraiment la petite pioche à l’esprit « bon » fast-food comme on aime du côté de la Bourse.
