Guidebook for Paris
Restaurants, bars and coffee shops
Here is a list of my favorite places to eat and drink in the hood.
This is a great tapas-like restaurant (not all Spanish food but in the size) , that serves mostly natural wines. It is definitely in the pricey range - a low average of about 70€ per person. Worth it

A very quirky Irish pub just down the street. If you want a pint or to watch any kind of match, this is the best place to go. The fries are homemade and excellent, if olfactively present.
The owner, Kevin, is a riot, but very nice and fun.

Drinks & Nightlife
A parisien fashion/international/hipster institution, and neighborhood bar. This is where the John Galliano craziness took place. The staff is very parisian: they will let you know that while they are too cool to be there you probably aren't cool enough. Despite that it's a good place to go for a drink before or after dinner.
