The only thing I enjoyed more than the fantastic pho at Le Bambou was watching Christian’s utter confusion as he tried to figure out how the hell he was supposed to eat his appetizer. Just to be clear, that’s in no way to the detriment of my giant steaming bowl of beef noodle soup, which was on par with the best I had in Hanoi. Christian is a novice at Vietnamese cuisine, so naturally I offered no helpful hints, preferring to watch him fumble miserably with his paper-thin spring roll wrappers.

Le Cambodge (10eme)

The first time I noticed Le Cambodge, I was meeting friends for pre-dinner drinks near Canal Saint Martin. Off on a side street, I wouldn’t have even noticed it, had there not been a long line winding out the door. Knowing nothing else about the place, I made a mental note to come back to check it out. Amusingly enough, that was where my friends were already planning to take me.

Everybody knows and loves crepes. If you don’t, it means you’ve either never been served a proper one, or you’re not worthy to be reading this self-declared mecca of Parisian gastronomy.
Mon Oncle Le Vigneron (19eme)

As I was perusing the 19eme for an interesting restaurant, I was quite excited to find this promising cave à manger. Located just a few blocks away from Parc des Buttes Chaumont, Mon Oncle le Vigneron is the wine shop du quartier, and I was pleased when I arrived, as it certainly has plenty of character.
