VEGETARIAN
BOB'S JUICE BAR
€4-6.50, sandwiches €6.50; 7.30am-3pm Mon-Fri, 8.30am-4pm Sat; Jacques Bonsergent)
In need of some vitamin C? Sweet-potato soup? This tiny outpost (and do note that it is tiny)
with bags of rice flour and flaxseed lining the walls serves delicious smoothies, freshly
squeezed organic juices, vegan breakfasts, hummus sandwiches…in short, all those things
you might have trouble finding elsewhere in Paris.
FAST FOOD
SUNKEN CHIP
noon-2.30pm & 7-10.30pm Wed-Sun; ; Jacques Bonsergent)
Although it's hard to believe anyone would come to Paris in search of fish 'n' chips, it's hard
to argue with the battered, fried goodness at this ideally located takeaway. Nothing frozen
here: it's all line-caught fish fresh from Brittany (three varieties per day), accompanied by
thick-cut chips (peeled and chopped
sur place
), malt vinegar and mushy peas.
CAFE
HELMUT NEWCAKE
noon-7.30pm Tue-Sat, to 6pm Sun; Goncourt)
Combining the French genius for pastries with a 100% gluten-free kitchen, Helmut New-
cake is one of those Parisian addresses that some will simply have to hang on to. Éclairs,
fondants, cheesecake and tarts are some of the dessert options, while you can count on lunch
(salads, quiches, soups, pizzas) to be scrumptious and market driven.
BOULANGERIE
LE GRENIER À PAIN
7.30am-8pm Thu-Tue, to 1.30pm Sun;
Poissonnière)
Michel Galloyer founded this string of artisan bakeries, which also includes an award-win-
ning
branch
in Montmartre.
TRADITIONAL FRENCH
LE RÉVEIL DU XE
noon-2.30pm & 7.30-10.30pm Mon-Fri, noon-2.30pm Sat; Château d'Eau)
This corner bistro is slightly out of the way, but if you're in search of a locals' place you
won't regret the trip. Plates of charcuterie (
saucisson
, rillettes, pâté) and Auvergne cheeses
