Reviews of interest
- Caroline Mignot (2011) “Derrière le comptoir, la petite équipe s’affaire, pas plus souriante que ça, mais efficace et aimable. Carte courte et fraîche, quelques entrées, végétales, charcutières, un risotto aux artichauts, deux pasta et les desserts à 5,50 € toujours aussi tentants.”
- Gilles Pudlowski (2011) “ette mini-trattoria fait vite le coup du charme…On se délecte de soupe de lentilles de Castellucio relevée d’une huile d’olive divine, burrata et caponata sicilienne, salade de fenouil avec crevettes à l’orange sanguine. C’est frais, vif, léger, sans esbroufe..”
- Phyllis Flick (2010) “…with the atmosphere you get the perfect neighborhood restaurant with simple, yet good, food…”
- Alexander Lobrano (2009) “My only regret as we went off into the night after a truly fine feed was that this place isn’t in my neighborhood.”
- Emmanuel Rubin – Le Figaro (2009) “un binôme masculin-féminin prodigue à faire mozzareller, risotter, vongoler, parmigianiser le plus simple (et donc le meilleur) de l’Italie…”
- Caroline Mignot (2009) “La carte ? C’est un problème, on a envie de tout commander, en fait, on ne sait pas ce qu’on ne veut pas prendre.”
- Thierry Richard (2009) “…ici on touche à une sorte d’essence de la cuisine transalpine moderne, simple et où le produit joue à l’avant-scène.”
- François Simon (2009) “Si j’habitais dans le coin, j’y aurais mon rond de serviette. Délicieux, chaleureux, voila l’adresse qui réconcilie avec les restaurants.”

Please can anyboby tell me how far this restaurant (Caffe dei cioppi) is from the centre of Paris? Thank you!
Meg, thank you for your reply! It was really helpful.
Hi Lindsay,
It’s in the 11th arrondissement, a five minute walk east of Bastille. The answer depends on what you consider the center of Paris, but if you’re on the right bank near the Louvre, it would be a ten minute metro ride (line 1). From the left bank it will take a little longer, but Paris is a very small city and it rarely takes more than 20 minutes to get anywhere on the subway.
Hope that helps!
Meg
