Au Petit Fer a Cheval

Location: 30 Rue Vielle du Temple, Paris 4

I recommend the: Plat du Jour

Notes: This is a tiny restaurant on a very cool street. It had seats out on the footpath, a small bar at the front and a tiny dining room at the back. I loved being tucked into a small table at the back, eating with the locals, elbow to elbow. But if that’s not your thing you can eat out front (as long as you don’t mind the smokers). The food is hearty and the staff old school – I really enjoyed it. Mike had the tiniest expresso here, hilarious! For lunch we spent €44.

You may need to make a booking in advance, as it gets very busy.
