Guidebook for Paris
Food Scene
In our opinion the best in Paris (at an affordable price we mean). They serve an unique menu for around 70€ that changes frequently, but is without any doubt the best value for money and gastronomic memory we've ever had so far.
Reservations must been made 14 days in advance, calling the +33 1 43 57 45 95
You can also go without reservation for the 2nd service, in such case you must be there at 9:30pm sharp. It is a 18min walk from our place.

Drinks & Nightlife
We love the atmosphere of the place and its amazing setting, with its odd assortment of armchairs, affordable cocktails, blues and jazz soundtrack and menu of inexpensive Asian dishes. On the downside, a battle for seating rages in the evenings, and the queue outside that builds from 8pm can stretch waiting times into hours.

Very typical area of the North-East of Paris, the banks of the Bassin de la Villette get crowded by parisians on sunny days, to enjoy a picnic by the water, go to the movies or play the traditional french game of "pétanque".
Possible to rent small boats and go for a tour on the river. The boat that crosses the river to join both cinemas is free.
