Cul de Poule: Jules’ unusual pick.

Filed under With my Jules, Jules knows the area well by on 09:02 AM {no comments}

restaurant Cul de Poule insolite rue des martyrs
A Narrow terrace on the very bohemian Rue des Martyrs with a window display embellished with tiles… Jules is in front of the Cul de Poule, a playful or dare to say slightly crazy restaurant in the 9th arrondissement.
Inside, the decor is made up of bits and pieces: mix match chairs, a flashy green bench, random objects … a perfectly captured fifties vibe! Following the fresco signed Shoboshobo (musician illustrator), Jules finds himself upstairs with a crucial question: How to tame those big cushions? Sit, lie? And yes indeed, upstairs there are no tables or chairs, but a large sofa with cushions and trays on which the food is served! Unusual décor -Yes! Does it work- Absolutely!

As for the food, the vegetables come from the garden of Sylvain and Alain Passard (oh la la!), the super slicer expertly works on the ham and the cheese is none other than the Burrata mozzarella! Result: no muss no fuss, simple, flavorful dishes such as the roasted Bresse chicken for two or Basque sausage! A fairly short menu, but a kitchen with real products! Bravo and hats off to the chef!

Jules loves: natural wines by the glass!

Open daily from noon to 14:30 (except Sunday) and 20h (19h Sunday) at 23h.

Jules takes a break at the Spa Cinq Mondes

Filed under With my Jules, Jules knows the area well by on 10:45 AM {no comments}

Spa Cinq mondes

Located in the heart of the Louis Jouvet Opera garden, halfway between the Opera and the Madeleine, a 15-minute walk away from Jules, only those who tried a treatment here know that a place where beauty rituals from all over the world meet hides behind the burgundy facade of the Spa Cing Mondes: Asian foot massages, Chinese energy awakening, exfoliation after a Balinese ritual, Egyptian rejuvenating water… As a couple or alone, we relax with a traditional Indian ayurvedic massage, a ritual with flowers from Bali or a Japanese rejuvenating Ko Bi Do face treatment. Away from the pedestrian garden, the very architecture of the place is an invitation to relax. The lighting is subdued, the furniture is wooden and the floors are covered in pebbles. Treatments take place on the lower ground floor of the spa, silence is golden and a light white flower scent fills the corridors. In short, the Spa Cinq Mondes is an invitation to relaxation and letting go! After your treatment, you can find Cinq Mondes products on the ground floor. They are guaranteed organic or natural, with no paraben and no artificial coloring: nourishing oil, face moisturizing balm, exfoliating creams…
Open from Monday to Friday from 11 am to 8 pm, on Saturdays from 10 am to 8 pm. Late opening until 10 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Jules goes to the gym

Filed under With my Jules, Jules knows the area well by on 10:06 AM {no comments}

Klay club
When Jules decides to do sports, he goes to Klay, a gym that combines sports such as dancing and boxing with top-notch services. Open in 2009, the Klay is located in a 19th century building in the pedestrian area of Montorgueil.
It offers 2,000 square meters spread out on 5 floors where sports and well-being become a lifestyle: boxing, bodybuilding area, cardio-training with state of the art devices, swimming pool and sauna, Turkish bath and massage rooms, fitness center with Pilates, yoga and dance lessons…
The atmosphere is very New York. Architect Cyril Durand Behar managed to turn this former printing house into a chic and sober gym, bathed in natural light, all the while keeping the industrial aspect of the building: Gustave Eiffel metallic structure, glass roof…
At the Klay, sports become everything but a constraint!
As a bonus, the DEPUR restaurant rules supreme on the ground floor, in the heated courtyard. Quiet atmosphere with vintage furniture, old-looking club armchairs… Open all day long until late at night, you can have breakfast, lunch, dinner or drink a fresh fruit and vodka cocktail or a protein booster!

Open from Monday to Friday from 7 am to 11.30 pm and from 8 am to 8 pm on weekends.

Jules’ verdict : L’As du Fallafel vs Chez Marianne

Filed under With my Jules, Jules knows the area well by on 09:31 AM {no comments}

The battle is rough on rue des rosiers! On one side, L’As du Fallafel, on the other side, Chez Marianne and one question: where can one eat the best falafel in Paris? Jules decided to find out!

Chez Marianne
Geographic location: Chez Marianne definitely has the best location: on the corner of rue des Rosiers and rue des Hospitalières Saint Gervais, we can enjoy the large terrace when the weather’s nice. L’As du Fallalel is higher on rue des Rosiers and only has an all green small room to eat on the spot.

As for the food: ”Always imitated, never equaled” says the facade of L’As du Fallafel! Since 1979, the restaurant has been serving real falafel: white and red cabbage, cucumber, tomato, eggplant caviar, yogurt or hummus sauce, tahina (sesame cream), chickpeas and home-made harissa if you like it spicy. This snack answers to the Paris Beth Din, so it is 100% kosher and even Lenny Kravitz recommends it! Chez Marianne, if you can eat falafels, you might prefer ordering small or large plates of cold or hot hors d’oeuvres you can select yourself among a large choice of zakouskis: hummus, feta, kefta, eggplant caviar, pastrmi, tzatziki…

Jules’ verdict: The best take-away falafel is at L’As du Fallafel. You can eat it more or less gracefully while wandering around the narrow streets of the Marais. That being said, if you prefer to sit for lunch or dinner, go to Chez Marianne on the large terrace!

L’As du Falafel, open from Sunday to Thursday from 11.30 am to midnight and on Friday from 11 am to sunset. Closed on Saturdays.
34, rue des Rosiers
Paris 75004.

Chez Prune : the place to be of the Canal!

Filed under With my Jules, Jules knows the area well by on 04:02 PM {no comments}

Chez Prune
On Sundays, Jules likes to take his time and have brunch. Yes, but not just anywhere. The Canal Saint-Martin is his favorite area! Closed to cars on Sundays, he can wander along the banks until the corner of rue Baurepaire and stop Chez Prune for brunch! The place to be for brunch in the 10th arrondissement: sitting on bistro chairs facing the canal, he indulges in scrambled eggs, croissants, salmon, bacon, fromage frais and other desserts, served with a hot drink and fruit juice. Later in the afternoon, you can have a drink, grab a cooked meat or cheese plate and enjoy the unusual decoration of this Parisian bistro, den of the Bobos in the area: zinc counter, original mosaics and nice retro atmosphere thanks to multicolor lamps from the 70′s.

Open from Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 2 am, and on Sundays from 10 am.
