North End of the 9th?

[thimes]

My husband is leaving tomorrow for Paris to visit a friend who just moved there and to help them settle in a little. I've been following the boards for a while and have tracked down many many recommendations for restaurants, markets, cheese shops, wine shops etc throughout Paris.

But, the north end of the 9th (up towards the 18th - I guess I've always just assumed that was north) seems to be a bit of a food void from my research. If I'm not mistaken, that area was (maybe still is) a "red light district" so maybe there isn't a lot there. (They are near the St. Georges metro stop but that isn't far from Pigalle . . . .)

Anyone know of any "good spots" in that neighborhood? I know once you get down towards Opera or over into the 10th there are several places but . . . . I'm having trouble tracking any down but maybe there aren't any right around there.

Wish I was going!

Thanks

(They were moving to the 6th but a change of plans - so I'm posting my map of the 6th anyway since I had done that work for them already - and wanted to share in case anyone finds it useful)

For you all that get to explore Paris an help the rest o us out.

My husband just texted about a new restaurant in the 9th called Les Rillettes (st Georges metro stop). Apparently very small but he said FABULOUS. Is coming home with a few recipes and a promise that we are going next time we are in Paris.

Just in case you are looking for something new. Let me know if you've been too.

To add to Parigi's good selections, there is Jean on Rue St. Lazare, the only Michelin star in the 9th; much more reasonable is Bourgogne Sud, Carte Blanche, Les Saisons, Casa Olympe and l'Aromatik. Just across the border into the 18th is Le Miroir. Starvation will not be a problem in the St. Georges neighborhood.

Thanks so much. They are all added to the new map!

(the maps which load fine on my iphone just not on the site . . . but that is another thread)

Awesome!

"Rue St. Lazare, the only Michelin star in the 9th; much more reasonable is Bourgogne Sud, Carte Blanche, Les Saisons"

I thought about those and Miroir too, but I thought thimes only wanted northern part of the 9th.

You are probably right; I was going more by proximity to the mentioned St. Georges metro and you and I don't give a minute's thought to walking to any of the ones we mentioned.

ugh - so many computer issues today

alright - it failed - I give up

[thimes]

you all are great - thanks for the suggestions

I am trying one more time to post my "map" - this one is of the 9th and your suggestions.

One more try with the map of the 6th (I just can't let the computer win)

I know they are so hard to read on here anyway . . . but in case someone is combing the boards and looking in the future.
