La Cigale Récamier, the brainy Left Bank hangout

La Cigale Recamier Repaire Intello Rive Gauche

The sweet made in Paris life, this is where it’s happening. So it’s not surprising to run into Claire Chazal, Ségolène Royal, Carole Bouquet or Catherine Deneuve, it’s on the pavement of this divine terrace so picturesque that it’s happening.

This little restaurant, carefully managed by Gérard who gets warm kisses from tall the stars, is hidden in a one way street just around the from Bon Marché. A promise of quiet luxury, calm and voluptuousness.

We love : the amazing soufflés, specialties of the house. Mushroom, cheese (18,50€), salt butter caramel or chocolate (11,50€), along with a nice rosé (5,50€). For meat lovers: a wonderful tartare of bœuf (19,90€).

For the political-people anecdote… The last time our  President Hollande went out for a binge with his big buddy Yvan Levaï ( ex-husband of Anne Sinclair), he came here !
