MODERN FRENCH
DERRIÈRE
menus €25, mains €17-24; noon-2.30pm & 8-11pm Mon-Sat, noon-4.30pm Sun; Arts et Métiers)
Play table tennis, sit on the side of the bed, glass of champers in hand, or lounge between
book cases - such is the nature of this restaurant with courtyard seating. Chilled vibe in a
trendy 'shoes-off' style aside, Derrière (literally 'behind') is deadly serious in the kitchen.
Classic French bistro dishes and more inventive creations are excellent, as is Sunday
brunch.

zakouski
(hors d'œuvres; €14/16/18 for plates of four/five/six). Fare is Sephardic rather than
Ashkenazi (the norm at most Pletzl eateries), not Beth Din kosher. A hole-in-the-wall win-
dow sells felafel in pitta (€7) to munch on the move.

Top Chef
finalist Pierre Sang Boyer stars at his kitchen restaurant where foodies sit on bar
stools and watch the French-South Korean chef perform. Cuisine is modern French with a
strong fusion lilt, and the vibe is fun and casual - no reservations, no telephone and four or
six courses for dinner depending on what time you arrive.
