After going out of our way to see Rue Dénoyez and being very disappointed by the supposedly famous…read morestreet art there, we wandered upon Le Barbouquin. It is a bit hidden on a corner at the end of this street, yet stands out for its eclectic, warm vibe. This is definitely a very local spot - I'm sure we were the only non-Parisians there - but there is some English on the menu, and the server knew English as well. THE COST: 20€ for two coffees and one brunch entree. THE SERVICE: Super nice. I sent back a drink and felt really bad about it, but our server was really sweet and just seemed concerned and asked what was wrong with it (it was the Jus Citron Gingembre - see below). I also left my backpack here and one of the servers ran a couple blocks to catch up with me and give it to me! THE WAIT: None on a Monday at 11:30am. They don't have many tables/seats and the place was about half full. By the time we left about an hour later, every table/seat was taken! THE FOOD: * Jus Citron Gingembre - 1 star This was pretty terrible, basically lightly flavored water. I would hardly call this a juice. Our server was nice about me sending this back and did offer to add more flavor to it. * Cappuccino - 4 stars It was creamy and more bitter that other cappuccinos I've had in Paris (which was good! Not too sweet). * Latte - 4 stars This was my replacement drink, and it was great! Lots of creamy foam. * Tartine - 4.5 stars Amazing!! Soft airy bread with a good thick crust, and a delicious combination cheese/honey/hummus and sweet pickled veggies (I don't even like other things!). I would never have thought all of this would taste good together, but they make it work really well!

I ordered both the roasted and poached chicken. Though both were really good, I enjoyed the poached chicken more. The sauces were all great as well, but the sweet dark soy was the highlight of the dish. The place has a nice décor and an inviting feeling, and the staff was genuine and friendly. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try, especially if you're staying in the 11th or Oberkampf area.

If you eat anything here, be sure you ask about "semoule" not just "ble" to be sure what you're getting. Maybe it's not a good idea.

Vegetarian dishes are the highlight here, meat and eggs can be added for extra. Then you walk upstairs and see the uniquely decorated "home" that puts a new spin on "eating in". We came for the weekend brunch 12-3pm. All orders placed at the counter consisted of a couple croissants, a light entree, a dessert, and all you can have coffee, juice, baguette, butter, and jam for 24€. We were given the pastries, and a buzzer to collect our entree and dessert when they were ready from the basement kitchen. So you'll definitely need to be with people who can walk up and down stairs while holding plates- and maybe more than one plate if someone needs to hold a spot at tables. It is pricier than other brunches nearby, but it is also a novelty and part of what you're paying for is the unlimited nature of the buffet and time you will occupy the adorably decorated but limited space.

It is definitely a locals spot so limited English is spoken. No english menu. Know some basic French food words or have a translator app ready to know what you're reading/ordering. Wine pricing is by the glass, two glasses, 4 glasses (bottle) and the last price is a bit more than that (6-8?). Silly us, Americans used to paying so much for a glass, we thought the first price (most were about 2-4 euros) was a half glass and the next size (4-7euros) was a full glass. Nope. Full glass and double that respectively. Hello, Paris. They even have "wines of the moment" that are still in the barrel and are tapped. Try one. Food was yummy all around - we tried a quiche, veggie lasagna, chicken w/citrus sauce and something else I can't remember now. Prices are great and there are usually dishes of the week as well. Menus are brought around to you on a small blackboard. They also have a full bar and this seemed to be the place to hangout after hours. They are opened til 2am every day and open early for breakfast/brunch.
