Wine bar section. Shared plates, wine bar, great food. No reservations. Get there just before 19h and you will not have much of a wait, but if you’re like me and you go out to dinner at 21h you will have to wait a bit. But that’s fine as it’s a wine bar as well! Ten minute Uber.

Good Coffee
My local and really good mates plus the best coffee in Paris. Paul (Kiwi) and Christian (USA) have lived in Paris forever. It’s a beautiful leisurely five minute stroll in the morning for coffee and a croissant. The ham, egg and cheese waffles are a great hang over helper!
You can also organise great bike tours, bike rental and cooking classes at La Cuisine here.
