Another dimension to being cool in Paris (maybe replacing the Converse…) is going to Starbucks; or boycotting Starbucks.

In any case, the opinion on the matter needs to be radical: “never cut your wine with water” is sadly, the French intellectual moto. Thankfully, it is also their cullinary moto!

I was very surprised to see how many Japanese restaurants there are in Paris now. When I was here in 2001-2002 I didn’t see any and that was one thing I really missed from home.

I’m guess the Parisians aren’t much into tepanyaki, that gastronomic delight of vast quantities cooked in butter. So deligtful…yet so fattening.

“Loving Japanese food implies nothing but enjoying sushi”, agreed! the fact is, almost all Japanese Restaurant have sushi inside their menus.

so funny… but no one should say the Japanese restaurants on rue Saint Anne are “so parisiens” as they are probably the most affordable japanese restaurants of Paris where you actually get food made by japanese… and they are also crowded with japanese – which is a good sign…
ZenZoo is an amazing restaurant that makes cuisine from Laos.
a very good japanese restaurant is the one in le Marché des Enfants rouges, rue de Bretagne ! succulent, and cheap… na na, you are welcome…

Accidental Parisian… Well, welcome back! Sorry about this post, didn’t mean to cause post-birthday family drama! As per the SPL party, yeah, maybe I should try to have one. Thank for such a kind thought. Je ne dis pas non.

Olivier, am finally catching up on your blog, and this post made me laugh so hard. My bro-in-law and his girlfriend (remember them?), who are the archetypical ‘cool’ smug Parisians, told me and Mon Francais that they were taking us out for our birthday. ‘Oh lucky me,’ I’m thinking, ‘that probably means sushi.’ Despite having told them several times that I used to live with a Japanese family, they proceded to ‘explain’ sushi to us ignorami. See, they met a Japanese person once, so they are experts, and they only go to ‘authentic’ sushi places now… Gah! Worst bit is, I left hungry. What’s the point of living in Paris if you can’t stuff yourself?

BTW, if you have a SPL party you must let me know, and I will try to bring cute, single foreign girls!

Modest little place that looks like a fish market! Gigantic portions of thick, yummy sushis, makis and sashimis. Here are some comments: http://www.fra.cityvox.fr/restaurants_paris/koba_68574/Profil-Lieu
