We were nearby for state championship in swimming, and the day got really long in between the races. It is sometimes easier to try to get a table on short notice than planning ahead. We were lucky and were taken care of with charm and finesse by Mrs Reitbauer herself in a dirndl and her team. This is a legendary "Wirtshaus" known for its quality meat and excellent kitchen open only from Thursday to Sunday.
Simple good food with great attention to detail is always a win in my book. Nanashi does just that: simple, healthy, fat-free Japanese Bento and great fresh juices. They have a lot of Vegetarian options too, which are difficult to find in Paris in general. You can get your bento box with fish, meat or vegetables, with spring rolls before or after and a carrot ginger juice on the side and you'll leave feeling much refreshed and ready for your next, high calorie high carbs Parisian meal or pastry.
Find them in Le Marais and stop by the Broken Arm around the corner for a coffee and a slice cheesecake afterwards.
About a year ago I had read The Londoner's post on the Musée Nissim de Camondo in Paris, which is the mansion of a Parisian banker, Moise de Camondo. Last week I decided to check it out by myself and spent a rainy afternoon wandering around the museum and the nearby Park Monceau.
Claus is the tiniest breakfast place tucked away in a side street of Rue St Honoré, with a small shop on the ground level and a small restaurant on the first floor. It feels quintessentially French, but also serves all your British and American breakfast classics, and even some green juice, which is always difficult to find in Paris.
I had heard about a new wave of coffee shops taking over Paris and giving Paris a bit of the coolness of the New York coffee scene, and I couldn't have been happier to have a slice of cheesecake and a proper iced latte at The Broken Arm with Bea. The Broken Arm is half concept store, half coffee shop and has the most relaxed atmosphere for an afternoon hangout and capuccino in the Marais.
