Hayden Clout used to be my (and everyone else’s) favorite bartender at Fish. He and Matt Ong just opened this new place in the 10th, not far from métro Poissonière.
A few dishes from La Taverne de Zhao – a cheap and casual Chinese joint that has people lining up on a side street near the Canal.
Food Intelligence, the source of 90% of the news that we republish on Paris by Mouth, recently reported on some big changes at one of my favorite bistros, Chez Michel. Responding to Bruno’s luscious photos (and in absence of any other plan), I booked a last-minute table on cold-and-rainy Wednesday for a dinner with my former [...]
As a former Chicago resident, I miss Mexican(s). Both the food, and the fun of working with them in the kitchen (where they reign at every restaurant in that city). At El Nopal, a relatively new tacqueria near the Canal, I get to rediscover the joys of both. Alejandro, the Monterrey native who runs this [...]
I’m a little in love with Jamie and Marie. Since 2004, this Franco-American couple has been raising some of the coolest restaurants (and children) in Paris. Outposts of their Pink Flamingo pizza empire open unerringly in the neighborhoods that need them most – places filled with broke hipsters, post-punk parents, and picnic lovers of every [...]

Colorful tables are crammed into a space that’s likely smaller than [...]
52, rue Bichat, 75010. 01 42 02 40 32. Open for lunch Tues–Sun. Closed Mon. I love bringing visitors to the Canal St.-Martin. This waterway in the 10th Arrondissement has in recent years become a magnet for hip and artsy Parisians. Good cafés and restaurants have been popping up around the water’s edge, and edgy boutiques [...]
In a city with so many incredible restaurants to try, repeat visits are a sure sign of love. Until this week, I could count on one hand the places to which I’ve returned more than three times: Spring, Frenchie, L’Avant Comptoir, Le Baratin and the crêperie Josselin. Chez Michel, the Breton bistro near Gare du Nord, [...]
