This bakery was highly recommended by a food critic & locals. The place has quality products from baguettes to their scrumptious pistachio/chocolate pastry(can't remember the name!). I took a day trip the following day & made sure I had their pastries on board! A definite stop if you visit Paris; you will need the metro to get here though.

Visited early on a Wednesday, one of two small tables outside available to sit away from rain, choices trend traditional from Madelines to Viennoiserie including a fairly good Pain au Raisin and Almond Croissant free of Frangipane. Celebrated for his Kouign Amann, less tightly formed than others but certainly not lacking for Butter or Sugar, Canele lack the expected crisp exterior while Blé Sucré's "Brest" lacks the signature shape and would better be called a Hazelnut Religeuse instead.

Every single person is sweet and knows what they're talking about. They eat their own food and you can tell as you can ask if the special is good and they will be brutally honest with it The ambiance is typically French neighborhood-style bistro! People are nice and can talk to each other. The crowd is a mix of people visiting and people living in the neighborhood like me who go there on a weekly basis to have a nice warm meal that stays affordable and with a nice service. I highly recommend this place.

The duck confit was a little salty but very tasty. The beef tartare might not be everybody because it is raw meat and can be slimy for some people. However I loved it, and I think anyone who comes to France should definitely give it a shot here. Again it's a primer at an affordable price. Inside is nice and quaint. The waitress didn't really speak a lot English but she's really nice and tried her best. We got what we needed as we exchanged my broken French and her basic English. They take cash and card.

Le Cosy has great energy both inside & on the outside patio. It definitely feels like a locals spot. Started off with a nice chilled glass of Rose wine that was nicely balanced. Perfect for a warm evening. Then I highly enjoyed the grilled fish, with asparagus risotto, served with warm French bread. The meal was simple but delicious. The fish was cooked perfectly & the asparagus risotto was creamy but not heavy. The risotto was unique because it was made with couscous & not rice. The service was mediocre. Probably doesn't help I don't speak French and a few people were smoking around me as I was trying to enjoy this wonderful food.

We read nice brunch reviews about a restaurant nearby "Chez Troquette" called "L'Artiste" but since…read moreit was fully booked we ended up at the "Chez Troquette". It was a really good experience. Warm welcomed by the two waiters (I suppose as well owners and brothers) and we got a nice table by the window. We decided to have brunch there, which is served not in buffet from but it will be brought to your table in a mixed plate. It contains scrambled eggs with your choice of bacon, chicken or salmon, grilled vegetable, salad, fruit salad, fresh plain yoghurt, row ham, hard cheese, goat cheese, pan cake, mini chocolate cake, madeleine, basket of fresh baguette, butter and homemade jam accompanied by a hot drink and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. All the products offered were really tasteful and of high quality. Everything seems to be homemade and with love. A nice surprise was the mini chocolate cake: still warm and with a soft chocolate cream inside. The homemade jam was delicious and with a lot of fruit pieces inside. Service friendly and attentive. The only critical point the size of the table: a little bit too small to contain all the food and drinks brought. Overall a really great experience. I deeply recommend to try.

Even though the cashier doesn't speak English she was very nice and patience with us. Lots of seating area and couches. More seating area in the basement(downstairs). You can sit for as long as you want. We sat for 3 hours waiting for our flight and they didn't kick us out. I think this place only takes cash cause when I pulled out my card to pay the cashier said something in French that I couldn't understand. Luckily my husband had some euros left and she seems to approve of it. Pro: Wifi & clean restroom, nice customer service, great coffee and lots of seating areas &CHARGING STATION!

Oh hi hello Mokonuts! I love their mint green storefront. Lunch is reservation-only which is…read morecompletely valid for their tight space inside. You get real friendly with your table neighbors :) No matter, because I think the homey cafe vibe is what they're going for. It's run by a hardworking Japanese-Lebanese couple, and you can taste how fresh everything is. If she wasn't so busy, we would've chatted with her more! Small regret not trying their wine, but we had just landed in Paris that morning and the jet lag was hitting :P This was our first reintroduction into their more leisure dining culture, no phones and only conversation. If you come hangry, you might have a more difficult time with their longer wait times and smaller portions (please remember it's a cafe/bakery, not a full-on restaurant experience). I would come back just for their desserts because their ingredient combos are so whimsical!

Oh, how I loved dining at Mokonuts in Paris!…read more The unusual name caught my eye when I first started my restaurant research. But it was the reviews and feedback that cemented it as a "must do" for me. We managed to get a resy at this tiny (22 seats), lunch-only, Mon-Fri only, Mom and Pop shop. And it lived up to the accolades. Super-vibrant Moko Hirayama greeted and seated us. She's an ex-NYC lawyer and amateur baker turned professional baker, plus front of house wizard. Back in the miniscule open kitchen we saw her husband, Omar Koreitem, furiously finishing prep and start to cook at 12 noon sharp, all with just one other staffer. By the way, this Japanese - Lebanese couple just released a fabulous, beautiful cookbook (Mokonuts, Phaidon Press)... and it tells the story better than I can here. Suffice to say - highest recommendation - order it today! On our visit in November, my wife and I ordered almost the entire lunch menu, small by design, but absolutely terrific from start to finish. Check out some of the photos... *Organic Chicken, Pomme Ratte, Bruxelle Sprouts, Jus *Slow-Cooked Salmon, Salsify, Endives *Hamachi Crudo, Sumac, Lemon *Labné, Puntarelle *Tangy Lemon Tart, Pomegranate, Coconut Cream, Quince, Tapioca, Pomelo *Various exterior, inside, prep, dining room shots, and more. Mokonuts is one of those special places you don't come across very often. If you're headed to Paris, please start working on securing a resy ASAP. If you're not travelling, get the cookbook and enjoy at home. Either way, you can't go wrong!
