Rue du Cherche-Midi
You just may bump
into Cherche-Midi’s
most famous
long-term resident
at this fishmonger –
Moby Dick is owned by
Gérard Depardieu, who
lives in a townhouse on
the street. The actor is
even more likely to be
found at Le Bien Décidé
(# 117),
a casual grill
restaurant that serves
wine from his various
vineyards in France.

Meet Jean-Philippe,
a regular at Nemrod
Café. Born and
raised on the Rue du
Cherche-Midi, the
architect says the street
hasn’t changed much in
40
years. “Sure, there
are new shops, but
it’s still got the same
pharmacy and the same
cafés I went to as a kid.
For me, Cherche-Midi
is eternal.”

Even though Mamie Gâteaux has only been
serving soups, salads, cakes and scrumptious fruit
crumbles since 2003, it has the look of a great-
great-grandmother’s pantry, thanks to the passion
that owners Mariko and Hervé Duplessis share for
culinary bric-à-brac.
