The menu at Le Petit Trianon is typical café and brasserie fare: Croques monsieur et madame, salads, and tartines, plus some heartier plates including a burger, roast coquelet, and a roster of dessert classics. What’s atypical is the quality of the ingredients. A zinc bar, mismatched chairs and tables make this new spot feel very old, and that’s no accident. Open 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day, continuously, and if you stick to the formula you can easily get out for under 20€ a head.
Another day, another cave à manger, this one run by the team behind Le Miroir, the bistro just across the street. There’s charcuterie, cheese, radishes and butter, a plat du jour or two… all good excuses to order another bottle from the stacks.
With Marcel comes another brunch spot with an Anglo accent, in this case both British (porridge, scones, an English breakfast) and American (fluffy blueberry pancakes, a BLT). They get it right, though, and that, plus a cool space on one of the prettiest corners on Montmartre, has made Marcel an instant hit with the locals who fill the place on the weekends, kids in tow.
Kedgeree. Posset. Welsh rarebit. Scones. Parisians are packing into this café/exhibition space near Place de Clichy, where a pair of former Rose Bakery cooks are giving modern British cooking a very good name, and a serious barista is serving some of the best coffee in town.
“Pas comme les autres,” is the motto at kitschy cool Pink Flamingo Pizza, and they aren’t kidding. Yes, there’s a margherita (here called the “Dante”), but the “Ghandi” is topped with sag paneer and baba ghanoush; the “Che”, with Cuban roast pork and fried plantains. No word on whether the “Almodovar” includes a drop of Penelope Cruz’s blood. Take-out and delivery available at all locations.
Chef Antoine Heerah’s cooking at Chamarré is as colorful as the name implies, drawing on the flavors and ingredients of his native Mauritius — and all around the Indian ocean — and fusing them with French technique.
Reserve well in advance for a seat at the counter where you, and a handful of other lucky ducks, can watch Kyoto chef Eichi Edakuni prepare a modern Japanese feast before your eyes. The no-choice, 8-10 course menu is 45€, easily augmented with something from the extensive sake list.
An arty haven on the east side of Sacre-Coeur. Flea-market decor, traditional French cooking and easy prices.
