I do love La Boulangerie myself for its exciting food and wonderful atmosphere at remarkable prices. For as long as the bliss lasts - I fear it may get well-known.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19578 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19012 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19012 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18654 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18654 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16743
Bistro because the flair and cosiness of those places are present everywhere. With three floors, the third a terrace right under Cristo's statue, the ambience could not be nicer.

For passioned lovers Lulu is a great choice. You can have a quiet place full of candlelight to inspire your romance. For group of friends it's also a good idea, after all, who doesn't enjoy a well-prepared meal in a beautifully decorated environment?]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16743 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16223 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16223 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16209
Great food, nice wine, great atmosphere, frequented by locals and all at a reasonable price. Great place for an evening meal in a great location.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16209 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15740
Good value for lunch or just a coffee or a pichet of wine - good for Beaujolais. A great place for classic Auvergnate cuisine.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15740 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15262
Recently renovated, this is a place that is packed with locals, and it is clear why - the food is excellent and the atmosphere lively and friendly. Marie, one of the sisters in the Bistro's name speaks excellent English and would be more than happy to share her passion for the capital city with you.

Good food, good wine, very reasonable prices, good location if you are south of the river.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15262 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13349
The food is tasty, coastal fair and the ambience is delightful. Additional plus is there is only one sitting making it ideal for an evening meal with family and friends.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13349 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12400 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12400 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11372 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11372 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10387
Superb food, immaculate tables and layout, attentive staff. The wine list is also top class. Go!

Barry also holds food classes covering everything from 'classic french desserts ' to 'Help, I can't cook!'.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10387 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10344
The food covers many different areas of the Middle East…Moroccan, Tunisian, Greek, and Turkish etc and there is also a great choice of vegetarian courses. In contrast, the small wine list is distinctly Australian. Given that it is a bar (says the name), there is a fine list of cocktails spirits etc as well.

On Sunday afternoons and Wednesday nights there is live music and they also hold (out of hours) belly-dancing classes.

Highly recommended!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10344 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9848 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9848 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2318
I go there every time I'm in Paris, and the service and food are always fabulous. The decor is mostly burgundy and the atmosphere is cozy but young and contemporary.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2318 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2316 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2316 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2201
And at lunchtime it's full of local office workers, which is a good sign that the food is value for money. Be prepared to rub shoulders with your neighbours though, as it's a tight squeeze. I haven't been in the evening, but I hear it can get busy.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2201
