Paris is very cold in January and it would be unheard of to venture to the open-air top floor of a department store for tapas and a cocktail. BUT, Paris’s innovative department store, Galeries Lafayette has come up with a unique idea by plopping a few heated see-through geodesic domes over the rooftop bar.

terrasse

The concept, brilliant, the view, magnifique. They call it a “cocooning vibe where serenity and tranquility reign supreme”.  Who wouldn’t want that?

Here’s the menu:

Champagne, cocktails
Soft drinks, fruit juices
Hot drinks
Savoury and sweet tapas
Oysters
Foie gras
Regional French products
Seasonal dish of the day

Continuous service from 11.00 am to 8.00 pm. When they will be removed to make way for spring, I’m not sure.

Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann, 40 boulevard Haussmann – 75009 Paris

Opera is invited to your table at Le Bel Canto. Every evening, a quartet of young opera singers (soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, baritone), accompanied by piano, participates in the service of the restaurant by interpreting great arias of opera. The opportunity for you to have dinner with Verdi, Mozart, Puccini, Rossini… You’ll either hate it or you’ll love it.

Dinner & show, without drinks: 85 € fixed price.

Under the category named “cabaret”,  the Paris tourist office recommends the Bel Canto as one of the best live venues for a night out in Paris: a unique show combining opera and French haute cuisine.

The restaurant is located on the banks of the Seine in the 4th arrondissement. Magnificent view from the dining room of Notre-Dame la Seine, île Saint-Louis. Inside, the decor with warm red and gold colors, is dedicated to opera.

After all the eating and drinking you’ll be ready for a nice long walk: No Worries Paris, your best friend.

#French comfort food, food, Paris, restaurants

restaurantnwpforblog

Simple…..delicious…..filling. Food that’s not an art project. My definition of Comfort Food. Now that winter is approaching, there’s no better treat than entering a bustling jam-packed restaurant, ravenously hungry, ready for the warmth of a good satisfying meal. A few suggestions:

L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon 

 

 
5 rue de Montalembert, 75007 Paris
Quail stuffed with foil gras…..oooh la la. Legendary.

La Petite Rose Des Sables    6 rue de Lancry
, 75010 Paris
Traditional French dishes. Try the coq au vin. Large portions.

Les Cocottes   135 rue Saint-Dominique, 75007 Paris


Try the veal.

Le Volant Basque 


 13 rue Béatrix Dussane, 75015 Paris
Try the beef bourguignon, creme brûlée.


Auberge Pyrénées Cévennes   106 rue de la Folie Méricourt
, 75011 Paris
Cassoulet — the southwest France staple. A big pot of warmth and soul.

Le Bistrot d’Henri

rueBuci_paris

Make your way to rue de Buci for a peep at the outdoor fresh food stalls, cafes and take-out charcuteries. One of the best quaint marches in Paris, second only to rue Mouteffard. Foodies will squeal with delight and wonder where the closest park bench is to sample their purchases. Vendors close for lunch, on Sunday afternoons and Monday. Sixth arrondisement, closest metro: Odeon. The Moliere, located at 12 ue de Buci is categorized an historic monument where Jean-Baptiste Poquelin took his famous pseudonym Molière. Check your No Worries Paris guidebook for more photos and exact directions.
