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!

If I'm hungover, you know I'm coming for that congee. For lunch, they offer super affordable and delicious Banh mi and rice bowls. Ask for that homemade sriracha! On weekends, they do a delicious fried chicken brunch that is lightly breaded and comes with a full plate of colorful veggies. From Th-Saturday evenings, their Master Chef winning chef does a neo Bistrot where you can try her take on delicious shareable, Asian inspired plates. I personally love how the chef uses what she can, local ingredients and unique Asian flavors, to create an incredibly exciting menu. It's not like anything else in Paris! They also offer craft beers and organic wines. To me, The Hood is my home away from home in Paris. It's where I can come as I am and be welcomed with a smile and warm ambiance. I also love their dedication to the creative community and music. The Hood is a special place that continues to grow with you.

The Hood offers far more than just chicken rices but chicken rice is our favorite so we had to try it. You get chicken, rice, and broth along with ginger and spicy dipping sauces and soft boiled egg. You can get more or less chicken for 3 euros incremental. The chicken is the cold style kind of chicken rice. Also, it's a bit heavy on the sesame oil flavor. That said it's very flavorful with the selected spices! The service is great for a Paris small restaurant. No air con but they do have heaters!

The food was amazing, and the quiche was hands down the best we had anywhere around the world.
