Food Scene
Les Racines
22 Rue Monsieur le PrinceAn excellent restaurant, with a small daily menu of french food. Not cheap though.
Excellent restaurant, very different from the fake-chinese food usually displayed in most places of Paris. Not expensive at all, and always filled with chinese people. If you intend to go, do book.
