EATING OUT

Josh’s favourite spots in the 11th arrondissement. “This neighbourhood is really awesome,” he says. “Within 10 minutes, there are probably 10 really great restaurants.”

La Buvette

67, rue Saint-Maur, Paris 75011; +33 9 83 56 94 11
Hip wine bar in the 11th. “There is another Buvette in the 9th but they’re not connected. We go to the one near our house.”

Le Servan

32 Rue Saint-Maur, 75011 Paris; +33 1 55 28 51 82, www.leservan.com
A great new bistro in the 11th arrondissement run by Manila-born chef Tatiana Levha, formerly of L’Arpège and L’Astrance.

Lavishly-praised restaurant which opened in 2012 under chef Bertrand Grébaut. “We also go to its sister restaurants, Clamato and Septime Caves, both close by.”

Le Dauphin

The wine bar attached to Inaki Aizpitarte’s celebrated restaurant Le Chateaubriand. “It’s too hard to get into Le Chateaubriand so we go here instead.”

1 bis, Passage Saint-Sébastien, 75011 Paris; www.restaurant-aupassage.fr
Great little restaurant in the upper Marais, much loved by Paris foodies.

Bistrot Paul Bert

BUYING IN

“Our local butchers – not the best in Paris but a good neighbourhood shop.”

“This is one of the nicest food markets in Paris. We used to go here all the time, until Le Zingam opened.”
