“Brasserie l’Emil at Château Voltaire is my go-to neighborhood restaurant. The atmosphere is the best if you’re seated by the bar, where it’s most lively. My favorite dish is the salmon, and they also have great desserts. The décor is very beautiful, with stained glass and old wooden chairs. Another place I love is Pépite, a tiny restaurant in the 11th arrondissement. It’s not well known; in fact I’ve only recently discovered it myself. It has a small seasonal menu – my favorite thing to order is the taramasalata with bread – and is a great place for drinks.”
