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

Good coffee spot near Canal de l'Ourcq in the 19th

62m2 phosphorescente painting on concrete in the hall of a building in the 18 arrondissement, Metro Stalingrad. You can see it from the street. I made it with the architect Takami Nakamoto, discover more over here

Opened in 2011 by the people at Magnum Photo Agency (their Paris bureau is a few streets away), Le Bal is an institutional exhibition space dedicated to the documentary image. For the most part that means lots of photography exhibits but they like to mix up the shows with videos and especially books. They hold conferences with a great line-up of guest speakers and screen documentaries and other films at the nearby Cinéma de Cinéastes. Be sure to check out the bookshop where you can browse through their connoisseur’s collection of high-end photo books and limited edition zines. Le Bal Café is a great place to meet friends for a quick drink or sit down and taste Anna and Alice’s Anglo-French cuisine. And if you’re wondering why it’s called Le Bal, the space was once a dance hall cum brothel in the roaring ‘20s.

Le Select is a “brasserie” where I like to have a drink in spring and summer especially by night.
