It’s August in Paris. This means that with little to no warning, restaurants, bars and shops all close for up to the entire month. With most Parisians escaping the city on their annual holiday, it’s not just a much needed break, it’s also financially sound.

L’Entrepôt (14eme)
August 8th, 2008 · Written by Christian · No Comments · Drink, The Challenge
One quickly notices that L’Entrepôt is a chimera of sorts. The restaurant / bar / cinema / concert venue appears to be an experiment by the owners to roll up all things pure and good under one roof in hopes of never setting foot on the Parisian sidewalks again. They even boast a pleasant outdoor patio! The only thing missing is a Monoprix, but perhaps that’s in the works.

Porte Manech (14eme)
June 10th, 2008 · Written by Christian · No Comments · Cheap, Eat, The Challenge
Normally when there are no tables available on the sidewalk I would expect the staff to roll their eyes, say something in French, and then tell me it will be at least thirty minutes before a table becomes available. Not at Porte Manech! They swiftly hauled a table out from the interior, threw a couple chairs around it, and voila! Instant seating gratification.
