EF Short Guide on Eating In Paris

Finding good dining places in Paris can be a challenge , and for preggie mum like me. Sit down brasseries can be found almost everywhere – only they serve the same combi of main course. Yes, 25% salad + 25% french fries / fried potatoes + 50% of main course of your choice ( duck confit, burger, steak, veal steak etc). Soon , i started getting sick eating in brasseries ( given i cannot take raw salad and french fries is not something i want to feed baby with for the next 7 days). Thanks to hubby finding the Les Cocottes Place i saw on TV before our trip, to experience casual dining using staub cooking wares, and also referring to the magazine recommended places. We tried one of the resturant and it turned out very well too.

Les Cocottes de Christian Constant ( Good casual dining place for lunch or dinner ) Address 135 Rue St Dominique ,75007 Paris France

Our recommended :

Mains : Roast Saddle of Lamb, Roast Fillet of Cod with Fresh Tomatoes , Capers & Olives, Fricassee of chicken with confit lemon

Le Crocs De L’orge ( for meat lovers, salami and only resturant in Paris we visited so far that serves warm bread and staff speaks good English and excellent service ) Address 81 Avenue Bosquet, 75007 Paris France

Our recommended:

FOC Starters : Their salami and bread is very good
Starters : Grilled Bamboo Clams
Mains: Tuna Fish with Baked Potato Mash and Fresh Boiled Vegetables. Edwin had some beef apperitif i recall which include the bone marrow which he says is excellent. ( When ordering the Rib For 2, beware the portion is really big – i think the portion is more for 4-5 instead of 2)
