Café Marly

Chez Papa
— This is hearty South West France cooking and there are numerous 'chez papa' restaurants across Paris. You can even watch him cook some of these recipes on their official site. Its very well priced and you won't be feeling hungry after a meal at one of these bistros.

Good, Cheap Italian - La Briciola

La Fontaine Gaillon
— We love his movies but will we love his restaurant? Gérard Depardieu and his chef friend, Laurent Audiot own this elegant bistro specialising in seafood. Reasonable for the ambiance and quality of the food.

Les Bains Douches
— For the very young at heart, this is a restaurant, nighclub and bar. Lots of sensual lighting and white stone floor, white lace curtains and very groovy looking staff. Very much for those looking to dance the night away.
