East Side Burgers
€15
(

Boulevard Voltaire

Vegetarian fast food might not be the first thing that
springs to mind as traditional French cuisine, but this
new joint is good enough to tempt even the staunchest
carnivores. Two delicious veggie burger choices and
several vegan sweet treats change on the menu every day.
Restaurant Amour
€30
(
8
Rue de Navarin, tel: 01 4878

)
If you can manage it despite the artistically low
lighting, this is definitely a place to see people and be seen.
This doesn't mean it's unfriendly. The food is reasonably-
priced with a delicious twist on traditional brasserie fare.
Caveau de la Huchette
(
5
Rue de la Huchette, tel: 01
4326 6505
)
An oldie – the stone-walled basement used
to welcome some of the 18th century’s most hard-line
revolutionaries – but a goodie. Now a celebrated jazz club
where dancers of all ages bop to international live bands.
The
Paris Mosque
is open to tourists and well worth a
trip for the exquisite architecture, the relaxing hammam
and the cakes steeped in honey.

dishes such as veal sweetbreads with langoustines.
