Arnaud Nicolas

Arnaud Nicolas is a haute-couture delicatessen and restaurant on the Right Bank of Paris that offers "gastronomic charcuterie" in a refined way such as deli meats made of poultry and foie gras, sausages of Lyons, "terrine grand-mère" and more.  We ate here for our last dinner in Paris, as it was near the river boat drop-off point, and we wanted to do a champagne boat tour on the Seine as a final summary of our trip.

Le Bar à Huîtres Montaparnasse

Le Bar à Huîtres Montparnasse is located in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, and offers the largest selection of oysters in France. On our last day in Paris, we stopped here for lunch after a full morning of waiting in lines to see more tourist attractions.  It was a gorgeous sunny day, so we sat outside on the patio. 

Chez Fernand

Chez Fernand, founded in 1970 and located in the heart of Saint Germain des Près area is a Parisian institution. Owner Dimitri Labaye, Chef Remi Lebon, and their entire crew give this place a very friendly dining atmosphere, totally in line with the legendary neighborhood. Excellence on sourcing products, respect of French culinary traditions and simplicity are the key words to describe this restaurant where it is just good to eat and grab a part of the French cooking culture.

Located opposite the Théâtre de l'Odéon in Paris, this restaurant is popular with the locals in the summer who like to dine beneath the azure blue awning.  Winning the Michelin Bib Gourmand award in 2018, we enjoyed a dinner of 3 courses for 36€ per person.
