Patisserie

  • Pierre Herme -- personal favorite, popular: deux-milles feuille, macarons, special-flavored (lichee or sth) croissant
  • Laduree -- famous for macaron
  • Sadaharu Aoki -- Japanese-styled French patisserie, I remember yuzi tart, matcha eclair are pretty good
  • Carl Marletti -- also famous

Eats

  • Au P'tit Grec -- famous small crepe and galette shop, neighborhood is also nice in the evening
  • Chez Papa 13 -- cheap French bristo, I remember the portion's big and with lots of chips
  • Song Heng Restaurant -- Vietnamese pho and vermicelli, if you like Vietnamese food you'll love it
  • Falafel in Le Marais -- forgot the name, there are 2 famous ones, should be easy to find online
  • Other dishes that you should try: Duck confit, l'esgargot (snails), moules et frites
  • Saint-Germain-des-Prés and bit north of Châtelet - Les Halles are the places with loads of restaurent in the evening => lafourchette.com is the place to book restaurants like OpenTable
