A few addresses in Paris

Recently, I have found my book I have jot down a few restaurants that I absolutely loved in Paris!
Here they are:

Chez Gladines
Address: 30 Rue des Cinq Diamants, 13th arrondissement
Why: Go for its hearty basque food. Best salads and duck ever. Very laid back, relaxed atmosphere.
No reservations, and bring cash!

Mirama
Address: 17 Rue St Jacques, 75005 Paris, Quartier Latin
Why: Best dumpling soup ever. And, the traditional look of hanging ducks.

Le Polidor
Address: 41, rue Monsieur Le Prince, 75006 Paris, Quartier Latin
WWW: http://www.polidor.com/
Why: If the fact that André Gide, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Antonin Artaud, Jack Kerouac, Henry Miller and Jane Day have already dined there is not enough, go for its authentic interior that have not changed in 100 years, long tables that you share with others, delicious and affordable food.

Le Zinc des Cavistes
Address: 5, Rue du Faubourg Montmartre , 75009 Paris
Why: Very very good wine, and of course duck. (It seems like I splurged on duck in Paris! :) )
And, happily English-speaking waiters - somehow a rarity in Paris.

Les Philosophes
Address: 28 rue Vieille du Temple 75004, Marais
Why: The typical Parisian cafe and brasserie in its perfection. A nice creating: tarte tatin du tomate.The foie gras is also pretty nice. And for the sweet toothed, the gateau d'expresso!
Very good service, might be a bit on the pricey side, but definitely good value.

Sizin
Address:47 Rue Saint Georges 75009 Paris
WWW: http://www.sizin-restaurant.com/
Why: Good Turkish food. Service a bit slow, but the wait is well worth it for the home-made baklava!
