L'Appartement Saint Martin, the trendy restaurant-bar in the 10th arrondissement

Head between République and the Grands Boulevards to discover L'Appartement Saint-Martin, a trendy, lively neighborhood eatery where you can enjoy home-cooked food or a nice cocktail.

Inside, you'll find a pretty bar facing you, with a beautiful fresco on the ceiling and a cosy decor to make you feel at home.

The chef, of Vietnamese origin, offers a trendy menu with an Asian touch. Sashimi and egg rolls sit alongside cromesquis and soft-boiled eggs.

To get a taste of everything, we decide to start with a Mix Tapas accompanied by two strawberry mojitos. The Mix Tapas is a sharing board that brings together a whole range of starters. Cromesquis of parma ham, marinated soy croquettes, egg rolls and crunchy Saint-Maure de Touraine cheese are accompanied by French fries and sauces. A gourmet start.

The first course also features Pan-fried Octopus served as a salad, with Iberian chorizo, tomatoes, capers, arugula and fried chickpeas.

Finally, we end with a little dessert. Here, we opt for the Rhubarb, blueberry and strawberry puff pastry and the Café gourmand, ideal when you don't know what to have.
