If you love to eat chicken, nobody can better make it than this table of Cameroun.
Doudou is the female chef and is a great cook.

When Gilles Choukroun started at Mini Palais we had great meals. Some months later we invited some friends : half of the platters where great, half of them where so-so.
Now he started up a new restaurant MBC (Mint-Basilicum-Coriander). It is said that his meals are great when he’s in the restaurant. Otherwise it’s as before. He’s a kind of adventurer and it’s always nice to try some of his new creations, so next time I will try to make a reservation. The interior seems rather daring modern chic. The service is very friendly.

With a women chef trained at the best cuisines in Paris, a husband from Hong Kong who is in charge of the drinks (mostly teas, but you also can get wine by the glass) it has to be a interesting place.
The food, a mix French-Chinese is of a high quality. Unfortunately it seems to take a lot of time in between two courses. We thought it was a good idea to try this rookie.
We did try to make a resevation but it was fully booked which is not a surprise when you only have 20 places. Hopefully next time we can book a table.

For a sweet treat that the whole family can enjoy together you cannot beat an ice-cream.
If you cannot resist authentic Italian gelati then run to the recently openend Amorino store where you will have a tough time choosing from the available flavours that contain no artificial flavours or colouring. And they make you a very very nice ice-cream…
Amorino, 42, Rue Cler, 75007 Paris
For a flavorsome treat with fewer calories, delight in a flavoured frozen yoghurt from My Berry with your choice of toppings.
