A Different Side of Paris
The streets radiating from rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis are booming with destination restaurants and bars. This isn't postcard Paris, but it's a lively (chaotic but safe) reflection of the diversity found in France today. Mixed in among the African hair salons, Turkish kebab stands, and cheap joints for Moroccan couscous are a growing number of great restaurants including Albion, a recent opening by two Brits that has won the hearts of French critics.

SERGIO - 32 Rue Pierre Brossolette, Levallois-Perret -. Wonderful Italian food prepared by Italian chef & staff. Dinner for 2 ran about 40 Euros including gratuity and non-alcoholic beverages. We had pizza, veal picatta and other entrees over multiple visits.
BISTRO LE SABODET - 36 Rue Edouard Vaillant, Levallois-Perret - I really enjoy steak tartare and this place had the best that I tried in our 3 week visit to France. For my wife & I, our dinners ran about 35 Euros including tip & non-alcoholic beverages over multiple visits.
