Le Ramus
€15
(
4
Avenue du Père Lachaise, tel: 01 4797
0488
)
A welcome place to refuel after a visit to the Père
Lachaise cemetery, Le Ramus offers bargain French cuisine
and couscous served by jovial staff. The three-course set
menu is a steal.
Les Philosophes
€30
(
28
Rue Vieille du
Temple, tel: 01 4887 4964
)
Quality French brasserie food
served with warmth, humour and a sense of history – the
building was the former meeting place for the Society of
Jewish-Russian workers. They’re also justifiably proud of
the artistically renovated toilets.
Rosa Bonheur
(
Parc des Buttes Chaumont, tel: 01 4203
2867
)
A gem with beautiful views over the Parc des Buttes
Chaumont during the day and a lively crowd at night. Don’t
leave without trying a bottle of the bar’s own rosé.
Retromobile
There’s more to classic cars in France
than the stereotypical 2CVs. This year, the long-running
Retromobile exhibition is taking wing and celebrating the
career of wartime aviator and vehicle enthusiast Roland
Garros.

Sushiyaki
€30
(
9
Rue Sainte-Ursule, tel: 05 6112 0060

A
great place for a quick lunch right in the centre of town as
the service is fast and the staff friendly. The fish is beautifully
fresh and they also have a few tasty meat dishes.
La Ferme d'En Bouyssou
Exclusive
(
Route de Castres,
Maurens-Scopont, tel: 05 6375 7188
)
It's worth the trip out
of town to experience this beautifully renovated farmhouse
restaurant serving traditional French cuisine. Try the hot
duck's liver with grapes. Open Wednesday to Sunday,
reservations advised.
Le Pery
(
22
Gabriel Peri, tel: 05 6162 1362
)
Newly
renovated and reopened earlier this year, Le Pery is the most
peaceful bar in the street and a great place for a laid-back
early evening drink with some tapas and a little lazy jazz.
