you know it’s good when it’s packed with locals. I will visit this place next time I’m in Paris. Exactly the places I’d like to experience. Thanks, very helpful and informative video.

Absolutely. Such a large choice for little gems...

Awesome vid. I had never even HEARD of Les Routiers, but now I want to check it out. Best wishes from CA USA.

Thanks!
Les Routiers is an old-fashioned label, but it most of the time implicates good food!

Wait I thought Chez Leon was the Belgian mussel chain restaurant!

[@paristoptips]

LOL
No, that's Léon or Léon de Bruxelles 😁

[@tomdigangi2722]

What did your friend get for a main?

[@paristoptips]

He only had the salad which is large enough to be considered a main. 🙂

[@danieldumas7361]

These are the little "Tresors" that only the Locals know about. So, learn some French, talk to people & get to Know Paris.

[@paristoptips]

Yes! There are many little gems like this in Paris...
