We went to lunch at Le Baratin, so that we can also see Belleville, a historically working-class + immigrant + multi-ethnic neighborhood. It’s very sleepy during the day, as it’s more of a nightlife area. Le Baratin is a very homely feel bistro + winebar. It has a good selection of organic wine (very good). […]

La Table de Joel Robuchon (Paris: 17e )
By Joan in 01: Paris, Favorite Food EntriesI guess as foodies we should have experienced L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, but we went to La Table instead because, *drum roll*, it has a 55 euro prix fixe menu: 4 courses + a bottle of wine (!!) for lunch which is a steal that can’t be beat in Paris, or LA/NY…at least I haven’t […]
