Best Restaurants Paris 5th Arrondissement – Other Cuisines

» Foyer Viet Nam | Budget – 80, rue Monge 75005 Paris. Impossible to tell how many times I have eaten in this cantine, managed by an association France – Vietnam. Nicknamed Ho Chi Min because it was the President of Vietnam’s favorite cantine during his student days in Paris, Foyer Viet Nam proposes a savory Vietnamese cuisine for a very good price and always with a smile.

» Arrivederci Pizzeria | Mid-range – 47, rue Gay-Lussac 75005 Paris. If you are in need of a quick eat during your Paris explorations, this (authentic!) Italian restaurant located between the Luxembourg Gardens and Jardin des Plantes has always good ratings. No surprises on the menu, with the most classic pasta dishes, pizza, and calzone. We recommend going further and order their yummy pannacotta or their tiramisu’, or both!

» Coco de Mer | Mid-range – 34 Boulevard Saint-Marcel, 75005. We love Coco de Mer, especially in wintertime when everything is grey and gloomy. Coco de Mer is like a trip to the Seychelles, with the right music, eating fish, drinking punch, and with the feet on the sand!

Dishes are savory and with exotic seasonings, plus the staff is super kind and very welcoming. Book WELL in advance, like 2-3 weeks in advance, if you want to go on Friday or Saturday night. But it’s well worth it!
