Le Petit Keller
retro home cooking
13bis rue Keller, 11ème • 01 47 00 12 97
Open lunch & dinner Tue-Sat
This little 1950s-vintage restaurant is popular for its
great-value set menu — 10€ at lunch and 15€ in the
evening. The food is more like decent home cooking
than ambitious restaurant fare, which is fine with the
locals who can't be bothered to whip up salmon with
sorrel sauce, duck
magret
or apple crumble. Moderate

Le Souk
spice-scented haven
1 rue Keller, 11ème • 01 49 29 05 08
Open lunch & dinner Sat & Sun, dinner only Tue-Fri
Though it's run by chatty Algerians, Le Souk's food is
totally Moroccan, with sweet and fragrant tagines and
pastillas
(poultry wrapped in crisp pastry, sprinkled
with sugar) featuring alongside couscous
.
Tables are
so sought after that there are two fixed dinner sittings,
for which bookings are essential. Moderate
Le Bistrot Paul Bert
seasonal food
18 rue Paul-Bert, 11ème • 01 43 72 24 01 •
Q
Faidherbe-Chaligny
Open lunch & dinner Mon-Sat
This place seems to have it all: an atmospheric set-
ting, genuinely friendly service, a hip, festive crowd,
intriguing (organic) wines and, best of all, great food
that follows the seasons to the extent that the black-
board menu changes every day. It's a little out of the
way, but you're unlikely to regret the effort. Moderate

Le Train Bleu
vintage dining
Gare de Lyon, place Louis-Armand, 12ème • 01 43 43 09 06
www.le-train-bleu.com Open breakfast, lunch & dinner daily
With its stockpile of cherubs, gilt and big oak benches,
Le Train Bleu is a glamorously vintage experience amid
the hubbub of the Gare de Lyon train station. As you'd
expect from a Belle Epoque dame, the food is a lofty
take on French classics (lobster salad, veal chops)
and there's a bar, too, for a quiet drink. Moderate
