1. Le Brasero

Le Brasero

A classic address in the neighborhood, Le Brasero has been around for ages, but in recent years it has returned to its roots with delicious Franco-Belgian cuisine and grilled meat. The menu changes around every two weeks, so the food stays endlessly varied.

3. Le Nénuphar

Restaurant, Asian

Le Nénuphar has been serving wonderfully authentic Vietnamese food for almost thirty years. The interior is elegant and refined, staying away from the endearing kitschiness of other Asian restaurants. If there is one Asian restaurant in the neighborhood you need to go to, this is it.

4. Le Coq en Pâte

Restaurant, Italian

Winner of a ‘Bib Gourmand’ from the Michelin guide, Le Coq en Pâte is a classy Italian restaurant with a concise menu that puts the emphasis on fresh, excellent quality produce. A little pricey, to be sure, but it’s worth every penny.

5. Cook & Book

Cook & Book

The absolutely amazing Cook & Book combines two of the best things in the world – bookshops and restaurants. And it succeeds at both splendidly; there are several rooms (each with a different theme) concentrating on comic books, travel, art, music, kids’ literature, you name it. And those rooms aren’t just rooms either; there is a minivan in the travel section, a fiat in the cookbook section, and the gardening section is built like a greenhouse.
