One of the few great experiences I had in Paris. The metro to my hostel was closed and I had to take an Uber. Each Uber I ordered canceled because I didn’t speak French. Rude! I had to walk 45 minutes from the metro to my hostel and my phone almost died. It was 1 AM & I stumbled upon this joint in the cold rain.
The barkeep was nice. He spoke English, let me charge my phone, and stayed open later. I bought a round of tequila r shots for the remaining patrons and they conversed with me in English. They could tell I was Texan and it made me feel special. We all got drunk and I threw up outside. This made the remainder of my 15 minute walk home fun.
I stopped at some Muslim kebab sandwich shop. Oh my god, they made the best drunk food. Chicken shawarma on a baguette with fries and spicy sauce, Mayo, and ketchup for €7.50. Some of the best food I had in Paris. God bless Muslims. I like them more than Parisians.
I ate my meal in the lobby of my hostel and ran into my roommate, Nate. What a cool guy from Idaho. He used to be Mormon, but he now travels the world and id agnostic. He lives in Idaho, but what a cool guy. We had fun getting high together and drunk. I won’t forget how nice the people at this bar was. This never happens in the stinky and OVERRATED...
Read moreFirst night I was in Paris, it was July 2018, the night of their national holiday. It was packed. I had their bolognese dish. It was very good. A young couple was sitting next to me. The young lady spoke some English, he did not. Extremely sweet, friendly. He offered to cover my dinner expenses and even bought me a desert. I was impressed of their kindness. The meal was delicious, the company was perfect. The waiter that helped was super helpful. Because of this experience, I came back a few days later. But this time the staff was rude, and the food was not as good. It felt/tasted reheated. Disappointing. But I will always remember my first night in Paris. Thank you to that couple, and to that one waiter for making my first night happy, ...
Read moreWe stopped in here for a quick lunch while walking around Paris. The bar is small and kinda quaint. There are some tables and chairs outside too, if that's your thing. When we visited, there was only one woman working there and she was doing everything...seating customers, serving drinks and making the food. She did a fantastic job of juggling everything and we were served quickly , and with a smile. The menu is written on the board outside so make sure you read it before you come in...asking for a menu will get you sent outside to read it. Our Croque Monsieur and Croque Madame weren't the best we had in Paris, but they were good and we'd definitely...
