Transcript
Where you don't eat in Paris is more important than where. You do similar to lots of summer hot spots. If you see lots of supercars parked out front, you're likely at the wrong place. And in Paris, this is especially true as you should work hard to avoid all the hype and all those going out to sea and best seen, which is why some of my favorite understated Parisian restaurants include La Milouille, La Pouille Au Port, La Petite Chaise, Le Petit Lutecien, La Renomi, and many more for those in the know. And that's why whenever I run into a Parisian wearing light blue tinted glasses looking for the next place to see and best seen, I remind my dearest friends around me.
