I happened to be in Paris and exploring the city. I randomly walked by Le Parisien and the bright lights and warm atmosphere lured me in. Well, in addition to the “happy hour” sign out front. And happy hour goes until like 2300 hours, which makes American happy hours look selfish. As I had already had dinner, I was looking for drinks and a snack. I had a few beers and a mixed charcuterie plate. The charcuterie was very good and the ambiance had me hanging out for a good hour. The playlist was predominantly bluesy/jazzy stuff and the staff was super attentive. There were some very nice deals on the happy hour menu and overall the menu looked very interesting. Great experience!

I was introduced to this restaurant by an employee of the hotel I was staying at and this restaurant did not disappoint. I ordered a formulae and Irish coffee to share with my family. Great food with good ambient. Friendly and considerate staff towards a family of four who doesn't speak French.
