The new hype place at small prices on Canal Saint Martin

Lemems

Between the rue des Vinaigriers, the latest spot for some nice quick eats, where you can sip, where you can chat, is a very upscale terrace, Mem’s.

Quite close to Chez Prune, here is the terrace where the bobo-foodista locals of this very « cool » district will be hanging out this Summer.

Here is the kind of menu we like, simple and filled with good products, slightly shaken up with trendy  attitude: nachos with cheddar (6,5€), sardines with oil on toast (7€), radishes and butter (6,5€), an Italian plate with buffala, parma ham, parmesan and small veggies (13,5€). To be noted also: the naughty burger (15€), the killer hot-dog (7,5€).

Special kudos to fresh farmer cheese with truffle olive oil, straight from La Crèmerie, a great cheese shop just around the corner (7,5€) and a die and go to heaven Banoffe, (7€).

Tops also : the real cocktail menu at small prices (9,5€), a nice alternative to the perennial glass of champagne (8,5€). Our darling? The Oriental, au sake, liqueur de Litchi and little wood strawberries.

Ideal on a rainy day : the really fab interior decor, imagined by designer Laura Gonzalès, who gives a genius twist to wall paper, bistro chairs, art deco lighting fixtures…

Open every day. Service from noon to 3pm and 7pm to 11h30pm during the week. Non-stop
service from noon to 11h30pm on the week-end and holidays Brunch à 19,50€ - Saturday, Sunday and holidays.
