PIZZA CHIC
An address which could only exist on the left bank, nestled into the busy streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés where ‘chic’ is a religion in itself. But this contemporary, polished pizzeria (wood panelling, suspended lighting, design tiles and seating) isn’t the least bit ostentatious, with comfortably spaced tables, white tablecloths and silver cutlery, and the pizzas are amongst the best in Paris. Rare ingredients directly imported from Italy (special mozzarella – a mix of traditional and buffalo – lard from Colonnata, spicy Calabrian sausages, Taggiasca olives, anchovies from Salerno), perfectly thin and crunchy crusts and the generosity of the garnish, reminiscent of a Neopolitan family meal, makes them almost impossible to surpass. White (with no tomato base) or red, the pizzas are beautiful as well as delicious.

L’AVANT COMPTOIR
The Avant-Comptoir is in some way the annex of the Comptoir du Relais, but it is also for gastronomes an essential place for an aperitif worthy of the name to share with your beloved one or with friends. The tapas are fabulous and we love this very particular atmosphere where everything happens unexpectedly around the Comptoir, in good company.

CAFE DE FLORE
The most illustrious café in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. It was the favourite spot of the intelligentsia of the 30’s, from Surrealists to editors, artists and filmmakers and it became the meeting point of post-war Existentialists. There gathered Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Boris Vian, writers and artists such as Ernest Hemingway, Juliette Gréco Brigitte Bardot, Roman Polanski, Françoise Sagan, Romain Gary as well as the world of fashion. Nowadays the Café de Flore still caters for a subtle blend or artists, writers, intellectuals, politics and anonymous people.

DA ROSA
Not only a gastronomic place, Da Rosa is also a delicatessen. We can find the products of the great chefs of Saint-Germain, as Hélène Darroze and Joël Robuchon, but also the bets hams, foies gras, cheeses, teas and caviars that one can bring back home or enjoy them on the spot. At anytime of the day, as soon as summer comes, we love sitting outside and nibbling something while tasting a good glass of wine. Surely one of the best gastronomic places of the neighbourhood.

LES DEUX MAGOTS
The twin of the Flore, or its enemy, also has its literary Prize, created in 1993 and which is the first one to be awarded in January. So how to decide between the Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots ? Everyone has to decide according to his tastes. Maybe we will choose Les Deux Magots to have a cup of tea or a hot chocolate made in the traditional way and for its terrace during spring or even in winter when we look desperately for the first rays of sunshine.
