I was particularly chuffed to get the chance to return to Café les Deux Gares for dinner recently, nine months after I had such a drawdropping lunch I went so far as to declare it my new local.
L’Orillon is Zhuzhing Up the Neighborhood Bar Vibe Perfectly
L’Orillon’s concept is far from unique, but the execution is on-point, with seasonal small plates featuring loads of cheffy touches in a bistro ambiance that makes you feel at home from the moment you walk through the door.

MOF Charcutier Arnaud Nicolas Knows So Much More than Pâté
If MOF charcutier Arnaud Nicolas only did charcuterie well, it would be reason enough to come to his 7th arrondissement restaurant. But that’s far from the case – and that’s why I love it.
