Bodéga!
The décor is all Spanish cantina, but the French chefs' menu is straight out of his homeland. The ever-changing menu, altered according to what's freshest, features wonderful dishes such as moules frites (mussels with fries) and Toulouse sausage, and there's a late-opening wine bar.

L'Atmosphere
Always crowded, this rollicking bistro has an energy most places in Paris wish they could import. Classic French dishes with modern Irish flair (and Waterford produce) are served with élan. Perhaps hard to imagine, but you really will need to try to save room for dessert – they're superb.

Harlequin
Run by young, charismatic Italian duo Simone and Alessandro, this authentic little trattoria morphs throughout the day from a coffee and pastry stop to a busy dining spot to a candlelit wine bar.
