Les Editeurs and favorite cafes in 5th?

I haven't been to that cafe Stacy.

It amazing how I tend to stay in my neighborhood. The waiters know me and I know them. I should branch out further...

BP readers -- please chime in!!~

I rather like the café "La Contrescarpe" (57 Rue Lacépède, on the place de la Contrescarpe at the top of rue Mouffetard). I haven't tried their food, though I've heard it's good, but it's just a nice, comfy place to go with its books all around and coffee-house feel. There's also a terrasse if you want to smoke or people-watch outdoors.

Al - and the above answer proves my point.

The board now permits spacing and hot-links ..but no notifications. We are working on that.


thanks ....

Al: Let me see.

I hope that part of the discussion board was FIXED. Here goes.

Karen......I don't understand how you formatted your posting ofthe PP review. When I post on this new system the transposing of the topic from where I write to the actual posting IGNORES all paragraphs and no matter how I write it always comes out ONE PARAGRAPH for the whole postinfg. Even when I end a sentence with .......the next sentance starts immediately after the last dot.....but in your posting of passing by the PP your sentence after your dots started a new paragraph. How do you do it?

I just looked at a review from Frommers.

Frommer's Review


Lying on a little-visited side street, off quai de la Tournelle, this restaurant is frequented by both professors and students from the Sorbonne. It's tiny, but the portions are big and generous. The clientele -- often made up of regulars -- is pampered with comfort food. Fine ingredients and a technique honed to perfection have made this a citadel of fine dining. You could take your grandmother here, even your great-grandmother, and she would likely be pleased with the seared scallops in the garlicky tomato sauce or the fresh chicken cooked in wine and mushrooms. Tender, well-flavored duckling comes with foie gras, and you can also take delight in the stew of pigs' cheeks and fresh vegetables, served in an iron casserole.


The euro has made an impression!

Richard (formally The Saint).....I've been to the Petit Pontoise a few time because of you and enjoyed the bistro food. But if it's more expensive (and I assume you mean for other reasons than the Euro-dollar problem),I'd be quite upset

I walked by the restaurant the other night - and it was full ....
And considering how close the table were placed, the restaurant's menu didn't make me want to reserve.
There are other new restaurants in the quartier. I've tried two -- neither was remarkable.

Petit Pontoise is a good bet but it is getting expensive.

Oppppps Richard: I haven't been there in quite a while. Could you suggest some restaurants and cafes please.
You're much more of an expert as it's your quartier. In advance, thanks!

In my opionon Le Pre Verre is horrible.

Marty isn't a bad place to sit and watch the world go by and have a little something to eat! It qualifies as a cafe.

Thanks, Karen! I've been looking at Le Pre Verre, and it looks well located and good.

There are so many. More and more pop up each month as well as disappear. Let me think about cafes. I do like Le Pre Verre for meals. It's reasonably priced and fun! 01 43 54 59 47

Reserve but warning: it's noisy.

When we're in Paris we usually stay in the 6th arrondissement. Next trip we plan to stay in the 5th, and though we do have a couple of restaurants we enjoy in that area, we only know of one cafe -- Les Editeurs -- which is actually in the 6th, but close enough to walk from the 5th. It's located right by the Odeon Metro.

My husband especially enjoys it for the Leffe beer on tap, and they usually serve it with a small dish of olives.

Anyone have a favorite cafe in the 5th arrondissement?
