L'Iode
piscatorial delights
48 rue dArgout, 2ème • 01 42 36 46 45
Open lunch & dinner Mon-Fri, dinner Sat
In the busy shopping area of the
2ème
, this cheerful
seafood stop sticks to a mantra of keeping things
simple. Expect treats such as grilled sole or crispy
deep-fried baby squid; nothing flashy or too fancy,
just fresh produce, relaxed service and lots of locals,
especially in the airy upstairs room. Moderate

Chez Georges
quintessential bistro
1 rue du Mail, 2ème • 01 42 60 07 11
Open lunch & dinner Mon-Sat
On this quiet corner, the glorious old Paris bistro of
film and fiction is alive and well and full to the rafters
every night. Its success rides on the winning combina-
tion of a worn but grand interior, maternal waitresses
and good, honest food such as duck with ceps and
plump profiteroles doused in chocolate. Moderate
11 C5
Le Petit Dakar
African chic
6 rue Elzévir, 3ème • 01 44 59 34 74
Open lunch & dinner daily
Thanks to its link with the shop opposite selling
African art and
objets
, Le Petit Dakar would look right
at home on the pages of
Marie Claire Maison
. Its menu
is limited to just a few reliably tasty Senegalese
classics such as
thieb'oudjen
(fish stew) or
maffé
(meat in peanut sauce). Cheap
10 E2
Rue Ste-Anne
noodle central
Demand from Japanese ex-pats has created many great
noodle shops in the
10ème
, particularly on rue Ste-
Anne. Higuma (at No. 32bis), with an army of dextrous
wok-handlers in the open kitchen, is a favourite. Try a
giant bowl of ramen topped with grilled pork, rice with
tempura, or
yakisoba
(stir-fried noodles). Nearby, Laï
Laï Ken (at No. 7) is equally popular with a young
clientele who comes for more of the same. Cheap
