On of my favorite restaurant for lunch ! Authentic vibe and the food is so fresh, so good ! burnt cauliflower is a must.

I go to the flea market in St Ouen to look for old cameras and expired film. But it’s also a great place to see all the different walks of life from Paris’ extreme social scene. At the top of the ladder you’ve got the aristo-bourgeois crowd acquiring Louis XV furniture at the indoor antiques markets; the thirty-something bobo set paying way over the odds for mid-century designer chairs and formica tables; the banlieusards from the Neuf Trois getting kitted out with the latest sneakers and hoodies along the rue des Rosières; then at the very bottom you’ve got people trying to scratch a living selling second hand food at the Carré des biffes at Porte Montmartre. It’s an eye opener for sure.

We are very into contemporary illustration that’s why we absolutly love Arts Factory. It’s an art gallery dedicated to the illustration French scene. It’s great. Just go, you will want to buy everything.

A fantastic bookstore, with a wonderful selection of books on photography, architecture, painting, graphics, design, cinema, music and cooking
