Grenier
An excellent, but tiny dive bar with live bands upstairs in the hall some nights, but usually downstairs in the front window. This is a great place to hear Django Reinhardt-style jazz guitar playing (Jazz Manouche).

Bistro Paul Bert
A most classic Parisian bistro serving many first-time visitors to Paris and others who return. Appealing dishes are well plated and served, reliable and consistent from starter to dessert. This bistro is not a hidden gem as its well deserved reputation is widely known by tourists. Nevertheless if reservations are made in advance, seats are available and service remains excellent. The lunch menu is a remarkable value. Wine is diverse and served by the bottle or glass.
