These Paris Restaurants Have Local Flavor

If you’re a cul­ture-vore, you’ll find here way more than just  great food (although it’s here as well, of course). First cre­at­ed for hum­ble stu­dent of Beaux-Arts de Paris, this lit­tle brasserie is (lit­er­al­ly and fig­u­ra­tive­ly) a his­tor­i­cal place. Sur­round­ed by numer­ous art gal­leries, antique shops and book­stores it nat­u­ral­ly became a pop­u­lar spot for artists in those more ~bohemi­an~ times. Their menu is indis­putably French, as you can get here every­thing, from a croque mon­sieur to caviar with cham­pagne. There’s also a big ter­race with a view to the stun­ning Saint-Ger­main-des-Prés neigh­bor­hood, famous­ly occu­pied by Ernest Hemigway as well as Julia Roberts and a tiny bar room, which Jim Mor­ri­son always called his favourite and where Tay­lor Swift record­ed a video to one of her songs. There’s just some­thing that in four walls filled with known artist’ art­work, who used to pay their debts with paint­ings that no sto­ry­telling can pass on to you… Just come and see (and eat) for yourself.
