Paris Cafes & Restaurants 2018

Like London we did a lot of research on restaurants and cafes before going on our trip. We traveled with a downloaded Google maps with the results of our research marked. It was very helpful.

52 Faubourg Saint Denis, Saturday 5/12

This was down the street from our hotel. We had great food and wine while listening to obscure classic sounding r&b and soul jazz.

In addition to the bottle of wine with dinner I also had a pint of La Marise, a Belgian pale ale from De Proefbrouwerij. Very tasty.





Le Nemours Cafe, Sunday 5/13
Lunch outside on Colette Square as we watched musicians entertain the crowds.

Interesting and entertaining French waiters. 

I had a pint of Grimbergen Blonde Belgian Ale from Brouwerij Alken-Maes



Le Napoleon Paris, 5/13
Drinking some Cote du Rhone with a wonderful dinner while watching lots of street activity.
















Au Virage Cafe, 5/13
Late night hanging out after dinner.
More wine and more classic r&b and the Paris street scene near our hotel.










Cafe Le Petit Pontoise, Monday 5/14
A nice baguette lunch on the Left Bank after a morning at the Pompidou Center and then walking around the Left Bank neighborhood.

Had a nice pint of Bière Speciale Rèmes, a Belgian Blonde Ale from Brasserie d'Orgemont




Bouillon Chartier, 5/14
Serious French food for dinner. Beef stew.
Bottle of rose.
























Bistrot de la Banque, 5/14
Hanging out after dinner











Le Fregate, Tuesday 5/15
Lunch with a wonderful view of the Lourve across the Seine








Ancienne Maison Gradelle, 5/15
Enjoyed our last night in Paris with a wonderful dinner and last bottle of wine after a long day that included exploring the Isle St. Louis, the Paris Botanical Gardens, a boat cruise on the Siene, the Musee d'Orsay and a walk through the Tuileries Gardens before dinner at the Ancienne Maison Gradelle.
Started with an incredible pine nut salad then had sea bass, chicken in brown sauce and nice desserts.
Great wine too.










Le Dellec, 5/15
After dinner stopped by for one more.
Had a pint of Vedett Extra Ordinary IPA, a Belgian ale from Duvel Moortgat
