Food and Drinks
Eat a Falafel at L’As du Falafel
This restaurant in the heart of the Marais is the favourite Falafel place of Lenny Kravitz. You can either try to get a seat inside or you simply get a Falafel Sandwich as take away. Don’t get put off by the queue though, they are pretty fast.
Have a drink or join an event at La REcyclerie
La REcyclerie in the north of Paris is a Bar, Restaurant, Shop and eco project that uses parts of the old railway ring around Paris for their projects. It’s a pretty cool and inspiring place.
Have a drink at the Petit bain
A rather unique place in Paris; the petit bain is a barge on the Seine that got converted to a bar and little concert venue.
Eat some melon bread or matcha brioche from Aki
A Japanese bakery at Rue St.Anne, the Japanese Quarter in Paris
Have wine on the Seine river banks
A very popular – and low budget – activity for basically everyone. Beer works as well. The Jardin Tino Rossi is a good place for it.
Attend the Salon des Vignerons Indépendants at Porte de Versailles and try the best wines
Each year in November winegrowers from all over France are gathering in the Paris Exposition Centre at Porte de Versailles to present and sell their grape juice. Even if you don’t plan to buy anything, you can taste A. LOT.
Drink some really good coffee at Hexagone Café
This coffee house is a truly hidden gems in Paris if you like coffee. Besides the excellent brew, it’s a nice work café with a good internet connection, a real offbeat tip if you are in for coffee.
Have some Ramen at Rue Sainte Anne
The Rue Sainte Anne is famous for the best Japanese restaurants in Paris! You can easily find the best restaurant by just checking the lengths of the queue!
