heart in paris


A certain dear friend dropped me a message on facebook some time ago, asking me for my favourite restaurant in paris and how badly the place would bust his wallet. I told him, I tasted the heart of france for less than 40 Euros.

There's something about little joints tucked away in small streets left unknown to the crowds that throng the main streets. Yet often, a rising star is hidden in these alleyways. This time, it was no exception. In fact, the experience blew me away so much that it is the number one recommended restaurant on my Paris list. And everyone knows Paris is known for their fine delicate culinary arts. Yet this one place that left me wanting more and more was a simple small family bistro, skilled in casserole dishes.


It sounds fairly simple, but the art of casserole cooking isn't quite as easy as it looks. This place has gotten it down to a T.

Describing the dishes is an impossible task, yet the taste and flavour still lingers so clearly. You know the dish is good when you remember it so dearly that when close your eyes and imagine, it's like tasting it all over again.


La Cocotte restaurant in 70 rue Sébastien Mercier. Can't put it in words. All I can say is, pop by for a visit and you won't be disappointed.
