First, let me say that Vincennes as a whole exceeded expectations. I stayed in this area just for…read moreconvenience and didn't expect to spend much time here, but there was a lot to see and do in the area. Olympe Sport was a memorable restaurant experience. The food was fine. Just what you expect from a good local neighborhood restaurant in Paris. Neighborhood places that depend on regulars don't survive if they are not good. I had steak tartare, a favorite is mine, and it was just as it should be. What made it memorable was the overall experience. The owner is a former Olympic Judo competitor (Barcelona, 1992) and, even 30 years later you have not doubt which one is him- the wiry, well muscled, high energy guy bouncing around the place greeting everyone and hugging and kissing the regulars. At the end of my meal the server brought me a tiny shot glass of good dark rum - apparently a custom of the place. That was very nice. Then, 2 minutes later, the owner came over to the table with another tiny shot glass of VERY good rum and gave me that. It was the first day of huge strikes in Paris and it seemed that giving me this really great little drink was sort of his way of apologizing for any effect that the strikes might have had on my experience. The ambiance of the place was just fun, with olympic memorabilia on the walls and the feeling that most of the people there were neighborhood regulars and knew each other.

I have been frequenting the Bistrot for over 6 years now, because it's just a stone's throw away from our family flat that we stay at every time I'm in Paris. Upon entering, it's a bar where locals come to drink and watch matches on the television. Towards the back is the restaurant, which evokes a very relaxing and homely atmosphere. The lighting is dimly lit, and various shades of red pervading the room. The bar and restaurant is frequented by the locals, and it's refreshing to not be surrounded by tourists. They offer an impressive menu full of hearty selections. It was here that I had merguez for the first time. For those not familiar, it's an amazing red, spicy sausage from North Africa. I encouraged Lumberjack to try it, because it's one of my favourites every time to come to Paris. The service is always friendly and welcoming. Between the two of us we shared lamb, merguez, couscous, and a variety of roasted vegetables. It's exactly what we needed after a full day of travelling. The meal was fresh, tasty, filling, and moderately priced. Overall, it's a good relaxing and tasty experience if you're in the neighbourhood.

It seems to be a local bar but the restaurant hidden behind the bar is absolutely a crown jewel. We ordered dusk breast and rib-eye steak; together we spent less than 28 euros. Both quality and prices are unbeatable. Steak is amazingly juicy and roast duck is served will plum sauce. I still can't find better duck breast prepared better elsewhere in the world. Mash potato is made from scratch with tons of flavors. Please see my picture posted with both dishes. Will come again for sure.

Nice beer bar in Montreuil, where there are not that much places to go out. Despite its location,…read morethe bar is easily accessible from downtown Paris with public transportation. Lots of craft beers there, and little food if you wanna grab something to eat between two drinks. They have lots of room, if you are lucky enough you'll seat on the couches.

First of all, can I just say I love the name of this place?? Le drunken - how appropriate?!…read moreCool spot for craft beer lovers. The vibe here is pretty hipster, roots, underground... We came on a Saturday night when a rap DJ was featured, and the music was super chill. The crowd was also very eclectic and mixed - even some peeps brought their kids. There is a giant tire swing so I could picture little kid me loving this place. Haha. Anywho! This place is worth the venture outside Paris... It is located just right outside the metro "croix de Chavaux" on Line 9 in Montreuil, so easily accessible. It closes at midnight so you are pretty good - guaranteed a metro to get you back to the city (unless you decide to continue the party in the club on the same street - convenient eh?). The bar is pretty roots - kind of in a warehouse type area. It's no frills, no fuss. There are 10 craft beers on tap ranging in price from very affordable 5€ a pint to 15 a pint. All different types of beers are represented, and the selection changes in the regular. Omg the food here was awesome and super reasonably priced. We had a plate of cheese and cured meat, and the products were sooooooo tasty and fresh from Italy and Corsica! Yum! I mean I haven't had planches that delicious anywhere, ever! We also had artichoke and stuffed peppers. So delish. Overall a super fun place to check out, even if it is a short hike outside the city.
