PrintParis Restaurant Help!!
Serious Eaters, I am at a loss and hope you can help!
Many years ago, my parents took me to Europe for my first time, and while we were in Paris they took me to two wonderful restaurants that I can't remember the name of. Now I have a friend going to Paris for the first time, and he's asked me for some recommendations, but... my father has passed away so I can't ask for the names! Google has failed me, so I look to you! Can you help me name these mystery restaurants?
1.) Walking distance from Notre Dame.. Only a few blocks, as I can recall, and down a flight of steps into a rather dim atmosphere. Absolutely amazing couscous, tiny little place, and has been in the same location since the late 1960s, which was when my father first found it.
2.) Near Sacre Coeur, very near, as we could smell it from the steps as we were walking back. A moules place, with lots of white wood, and the moules were served in colourful metal buckets inside large white bowls with big baskets of yummy, crusty bread. Everyone there was eating moules, and I believe it may have been the only thing they actually had on the menu, but lots of different preparations to choose from as all three of us tried something different. There was also a looooong line out front by the time we left. :)
That's all I can remember! Do either of these ring bells for anyone? Many thanks in advance!

If I were you, I'd contact Clotilde at chocolateandzucchini.com for advice. And then -- buy a copy of her new book, "Clotilde's Edible Adventures in Paris" for your friend!
Wish I were going, too :-(
