summer feast in Paris
Paris can be quite surprising when it comes to weather, in contrary to many people's belief that the city of love = the city of sun. After weeks of rain and harsh witner in the middle of May, July didn't really bring the summer bliss for long but guaranteed at least a few sunny days. So the time to munch on a baguette along Canal Saint-Martin with a glass of rose came. Or actually, the time to munch on anything, wherever and with a glass of whatever just to be outside and enjoy the sun... Here's a few of our favourite summer restaurants.
Le Petit Cambodge
Meaning the best Bobun in Paris. It is quite pricey but never disappoints (so SO good!). We have our go-to order here: Bobun spécial mixte (with both shrimp and very tasty beef) and Saucisse à la citronnelle for a starter is a must. Wonderful citronnade with ginger and mint.
Fuumi
At first very sceptical about the idea of a sushi burrito, we finally decided to give it a try and let me tell you, it was worth it! Even though neither of us went for the actual burrito but rather stuck to the slightly less fusion sushi bowl idea, Fuumi is already one of our favourites. Cancun on the left, Tokyo on the right (a winner!).
Jules et Shim
Located literally on the side of the canal and just down the street from where we live, we usually go for a takeaway and enjoy it outside (+ the packaging is so much fun!). Shrimp is a favourite.
Republique of Coffee
We discovered this place quickly after its opening this year and just looking at the pictures knew it's worth trying. Tuna-mango ceviche was to die for and huevos rancheros bowl (on the pic below) completely on spot as well. Just look at it...
Pink Mamma
Early arrival and 45 minutes of queuing are SO worth it. The newest opening of Big Mamma group is right on spot with wonderful interior, delicious menu and a hidden speakeasy in the basement of the building.
Distrito Frances
For Franco-Mexican taco fusion that was so surprisingly good we decided right away to come back soon. Thomas went for King Kunta with spicy pulled pork which was greasy as hell but as delicious. Drunken Love with marinated beef on the pic below.
