Café d'Angel
16, rue Brey, 75017 Paris.
We had lunch with my collegues, one of whitch was leaving us to go back to Helsinki, here in this very sympatethic little bistro. "Typically french" and "typically parisian" are the two clichés that fit here perfectly and in a good way. Staff was helpful, food was good, clientele was local. Not the cheapest option at 24 € for a 2-course lunch menu, but the quality of the food was great. I had lieu jaune (probably "white fish" like all of them on english menus...) and liégois chocolat avec caramel beurre salé for dessert. Fish was oily and really well seasoned, really good and the dessert was hefty, chocolaty and with lots of caramel.Tierra del Fuego

After the perfect 'Ti Punch at the colourful bar I can't remember the name of on the same street, we had a chilean dinner with Maaria and Henna at Tierra del Fuego. It's a cozy and colourful little restaurant run by two charming chileans, a father and son, Gonzalo and Carlo (I think). A three course menu is 20 €, I had a (YUMMY!!) ceviche and a (HUGE) chili con carne and mango mousse for dessert (desserts are tiny, but since the other two courses are truckdriver-size, a small dessert is just perfecto ). They also have a fantastic chilean wine selection, a rarity in Paris, since the french (for a perfectly good reason) love and cherish their own produce. Great food, great atmosphere, charming and fast service. Just one thing: If you (Henna) hate coriander, make sure to mention it. It's everywhere and it's a-plenty.I do recommend I doooo!
