One of the best brunch I've ever had!…read more I went to the Pavillon du Lac on a sunday morning for a brunch. We decided to sit on the terrace but there are seats inside as well. There are also seats on the first floor but the area had been privatised this day. The setting is fantastic. You're inside the Buttes Chaumont park, which is very peaceful and quite family friendly. In front of you is the lake, the big rock and the bridge. If you are looking for a natural and relaxing decor, it can't get any better than that! We decided to go for the brunch menu for €25. I never had so much food for a brunch! Proper croissant (buttery!), fresh orange juice, coffee, salmon and a fantastic creamy cheese, the best scrambled eggs (soooo creamy!), toasts and homemade jam, bio yoghurt, fresh oranges and pomelos with spices, and a muffin! For €25 only! And everything is definitely quality! Service was good and food arrived rather quickly. I will certainly not hesitate to come back again! Fantastic setting in the park, quality products, best value for money!

A few years late in writing but better late than never. When I last stayed in Paris, I was not far…read morefrom this neighbourhood but because it's literally next to Canal Saint Martin, there are plenty of eating options in this area which won't break the bank and are full of locals and not tourists from Dayton, Ohio or China. I had a typical steak frites dinner here one night with some great wine which was fine but it wasn't the food here that kept my attention, it was the people watching and the great staff. I got zero- Parisian attitude here but a real "bon vivant" vibe from the people who work here, from the servers to the bartenders to the cooks, people here seemed happy. Imagine a resto/brasserie full of characters that might have stepped out of a Wes Anderson or Jean-Pierre Jeunet film full of conviviality and joviality and you might get a reasonable facsimile of this place.

I have to say, when I imagine a local experience this is it! We were walking along side Canal St…read more Martin and saw this corner bistro with it's colorful menu drawn on chalkboard signs lining their sidewalks. The roars of laughter and buzzing conversation drew us in. I was oblivious to cultural habits, so I got really weird looks when I was asking for food. She said "no food." Huh? but it's 5:30pm, there's gotta be food. She then proceeded to explain that they don't start serving food until 7:00 pm and that now it was just time to drink. What? How fun! And that's why they're so fit/skinny. They control when food comes out. I LOVE that idea. We sat there, ordering local ales and beers and practiced our French as best we could, only to realize we were failing when we were suddenly being addressed in English. I'm sad we didn't get to taste the food, we had another appointment that day, so we left, but this place will forever hold a special place in my wannabe Parisian heart. If you're in the Quai De Jemappes area, this place is a must!

Nice that it open late. A nice vibe for a late Saturday dinner. Had the Onion Soup (unfortunately…read morecheese was burned but I could tell the soup was good. Had the roasted camembert. Delicious. For dinner we had the roasted duck which was a 3/5 but the star was the crying tiger beef. It was exceptional. Friendly staff. I'd go more for vibes and drinks over food.

You should ask the people at Le Sully because they managed to do it. As for the wait staff - should be called Le Surly. I'm sure it's fine for a glass of wine outside but get there early because they started sweeping while we were still eating dinner.

The Semaphore kinda saved my life recently, when I was mandated by my friends to find a cool bar…read morenear Saint-Lazare. Because you see, Saint-Lazare isn't known for the coolness of its bars - or even for the mere existence of them. So I was deciding to bring them all to Burger King (which IS what Saint-Lazare is known for, actually) when I saw the Semaphore. €5 cocktails from 5 to 9pm - the well-too-classic Mojitos and Pina Colada, but also Martini Royale, Cosmopolitan, and my little favourite the Black Russian (I know, I know, disgusting, blah blah blah.) They are quite good for the price, and apparently they also have an OK choice of beer for 4-6€ a pint. As for the place itself: it's young, laid-back (babyfoot alert!), quite loud, not at all hipster. You can stay forever with your friends and nobody will try to come and force you into buying another drink. Oh, and when you begin to be angry, they have some snacks, tapas-like, at around €5 each - I didn't try them, but I saw several people ordering them, so they have to be at least OK!
