This charming Lyonnaise restaurant tends to be favoured by well-heeled Americans. But don't let that put you off. A meal here is an experience: from the gorgeous chinaware to the traditional pots of steaming casseroles, foie gras and toasts, and sumptious desserts.

It isn't always easy to find a room at this reasonably-priced gem, in the heart of Hemingway's Latin Quarter (near the rue Mouffetard).

Regulars come back again and again for its low-key charm, family atmosphere and (star attraction) the pretty, cobbled courtyard, with breakfast tables outside in summer.

This beautifully designed, low-key luxury hotel is a welcome respite from Malta's brash wtower blocks.

A chic, lively cafe in the heart of the Latin Quarter. Wonderful brunch on the weekends. Good for families, too.
