Restaurants

- Restaurant le Balcon

This fancy little bistro is on the 6th floor of the Philharmonie de Paris. The space is surrounded

by windows and a terrace that gives visitors scenic views of Paris. Under the guidance of chef

Karil Lopez, the menu is full of fresh and local items and often changes depending on the

season. There is a large selection of specialty drinks at the bar - perfect for post-work drinks

with colleagues. The best part of it all? You can pop into the restaurant without buying a ticket to

a show, but it’s okay if you change your mind.

- Bulliz

Just opened in September 2015, Bulliz has changed the image of the choux pastry for everyone.

Head chef and founder, Mathieu Mandard, showed the versatility of the choux pastry by straying

away from the typical sweet desserts it was used for. With the help of his family, Lydie and

Fanny, he created sweet and savory choux treats for all. You can find Bulliz on 14 rue

d’Hauteville, 75010 Paris

- Restaurant Le Camion Qui Fume

Originally Le Camion Qui Fume, California native Kristin Frederick found Paris’ first food truck in

November 2011. The menu is full of juicy, gourmet burgers and fries; which have been a huge

hit with the locals. The success of Frederick’s food truck made her think outside of the box -

anyone ever heard of a food boat? It was first tested in October 2015 and has been a hit since.

After the success of her food truck and boat, Frederick recently opened a stylish restaurant in

January 2016. Craving one of Kristin’s gourmet burgers? Head over to 168 rue Montmartre,

75002 Paris or look out for her food trucks and boats throughout the city!
