An unpretentious restaurant founded in a former bakery, hence the name. A relatively new, but traditional-style, bistro, it serves excellent value French favourites.

Regional cooking from Auvergne served up on checked tablecloths. The charcuterie comes directly from Auvergne and the ice-creams and sorbets are homemade. Try the suckling pig with honey, or the aligot, a cheese and potato dish with ham or sausages. Sometimes a singer will strum a few tunes on a guitar, then pass around a hat. €-€€ L’Olive Salée, 130 rue Saint-Maur, 75011, T 01 43 38 66 62. Mon-Sat 1200-1430, 1915-2400. M Parmentier. The friendly patron, the star-studded ceiling and the enticing wafts of honey, cumin and cinnamon from the open kitchen make this a Berber restaurant with a bit extra. € Chez Ramona, 17 rue Ramponeau, 75020, T 01 46 36 83 55. Tue-Sun 1930-2330. M Belleville. An epicerie-cum-restaurant in a backstreet in Belleville serving good homemade paella. It’s a bit like being in Grandma’s kitchen, complete with the potted plants on the windowsill. It’s so small that reservations are essential. € Krung Thep, 93 rue Julien Lacroix, 75020, T 01 43 66 83 74. Mon-Sun 1900-2300. M Pyrénées. A very popular and cheap Thai restaurant.
