The answer is Yes!

🇫🇷 3 Corner Cafes that are specifically for great people-watching.

[NEW: Nov 2024] 🇫🇷 13 Restaurants known for their views of the Eiffel Tower and city skyline.

Brasserie Dubillot

Situated in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, Brasserie Dubillot is a charming, traditional brasserie known for its welcoming atmosphere and classic French cuisine. It offers a relaxed dining experience with a focus on quality ingredients and timeless dishes.

	Must try: Enjoy the classic French bistro fare such as coq au vin or beef bourguignon, and try their crème brûlée or tarte tatin for a delightful dessert. 

The perfect place for some traditional French food in a lovely decor. I take all my friends from overseas when they visit in this place to have a taste of French cuisine. 

The perfect place for an anniversary or a special occasion. Reasonable prices for exceptional quality food. Staff was also friendly and welcoming.

A circus-themed brunch place, with high quality food and a cozy vibe!

Have not been here yet but it looks adorable!
