Paris 11e Arr - The Best Food District in Paris

[@JaySwanson]

There is SO MUCH TO EAT in the 11th, and I've listed a TON in my guide - it and find all my recommendations at parisinmypocket.com for so much more than I could fit into one video

[@mbrolfe7504]

Thank you Kate for all your blood, sweat and tears on the newsletter and for keeping Jay on the straight and mostly narrow.

[@SonnyGreenwichJr]

Big Love to Kate! Amazing how places change, I lived at 52 Rue St Maur for years. There were a few great restaurants nearby but it was mostly an unpretentious/down-home neighbourhood back then! Man, the memories...

[@shinyshinythings]

Aw Kate! I’ve really enjoyed your newsletter writing! Hope everything is grand in your next venture!

[@jerrismith9337]

Kate is great! I swear I saw her in December last year when we spent four days in Paris. We were just getting out of our Uber near our apartment in the 2nd and I saw her walk by.

[@danieli.9252]

Le 18 is great. We met Craig, the Scot, and he was nice enough to take our photo (he is a photographer in addition to his work at Le 18). Fun times!

[@JaySwanson]

We love Craig! So glad you had a fun time.

[@andyshacks7812]

Coffee and vinyl - hits the spot for me. I even saw an album on my wantlist in Comets. So nice to see Kate, the newsletter is always a brilliant read. She’s just great! All the best Kate in whatever you’re doing next!! Think the 11th is going to be pretty high up my go to list next time I’m in the city ! Cheers Jay !

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’m so happy that we’re getting food recommendations. You can never have too many of them.

[@robelliot3511]

Great job Kate! I enjoy all of these guides. Being a Canadian who just arrived in the 12th for a year, or 10, appreciates them. Lol

[@JaySwanson]

You're most welcome!

[@thedavidguy01]

Thanks Kate. I always enjoyed your newsletters.

[@BlueSkyGuitar]

I'll miss Kate's corner, and also the awesome rooftop picture that always went with that section of the newsletter!

[@floridamom9073]

love the newsletter Kate. hope you come back for a fourth time!

[@bfloris8650]

I walked through the 11th during my last visit and loved it! It was a refreshing break from the more touristic arrondissements. I’m hoping to explore the 11th and 10th more on my next visit and now I know where to go!

[@JaySwanson]

I'm already excited for you, you're going to have a blast and eat well.

[@scottfbradley]

Nice, Jay. Other spots in the 10th you’ve mentioned that we’ve also enjoyed/recommend - La Cidrerie…spent a good four hours there having all the ciders and people watching. Got there at opening and by the time we left it was hopping. Good coffe/breakfast/brunch at ONI Coffee Shop which is *barely*/questionably in the 10th (you parked there for a portion of a video once). Great service, food, etc. We stayed at Hotel Moris on Rue René Boulanger (also slightly in the 10th) which was a nice, mid priced option and a terrific location.

[@JaySwanson]

Amazing, thanks for the recs!

[@hazelhoyte7668]

Thanks Kate! All the best!❤

[@thistlenstar]

Probably not of interest to many, but, when the revolutionaries stormed the Bastille, there were only seven prisoners incarcerated there.

[@gingerdean1521]

they were after the munitions in the basement

[@missydemeanors1760]

All the best Kate! You are awesome.

[@adrianatherton1693]

please include the prices of the food so that we know what we're dealing with. Thanks Jay❤

[@PokhrajRoy.]

7:07 Wow! Those are some good designs.

[@rob7819]

Excellent video Jay.Also great to see the famous denim jacket and black work boots taking a break😅

[@JaySwanson]

People sure have a lot to say about clothing choices lately, but that's for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video!

[@FrenchMartini]

Great video! Thank you! We'll be staying in the 11th this winter so the video is much appreciated.

[@JaySwanson]

You'll love it!

[@rob7819]

Enjoyed this Jay😊

[@carolbrenner3121]

Love your new shirt ❤❤❤

[@JaySwanson]

Thanks!

[@beaglefish]

Random question, Jay. I just saw a Unum video with Ken Burns walking the Brooklyn Bridge. My wife and I could swear we saw you in the background of one shot. If it was you, I’m pretty sure you saw Ken Burns and knew it was him. So…Jay? Or Jay’s doppelgänger?

[@PokhrajRoy.]

2:36 Shoutout to Lindsey and their recommendations.

[@branhamphotos5354]

what a good place to eat in the 11th for thanksgiving

[@JaySwanson]

Hmm most places haven't announced them yet, but in the past there have been Thanksgiving meals offered at Breakfast in America, Cali Sisters, Ellsworth, Treize, Milagro... those aren't the 11th, but might be worth keeping an eye on

[@madamlakwatsera5674]

I heard Ten Belles was also selling ice creams on the weekends now, and that they're really unique and delicious, if you want to try them :)

[@JaySwanson]

Not just on the weekends, they opened their own shop!

[@cl9602]

@@JaySwanson oh wow, good for them! Telling you about it made me want to check it out for myself and I went yesterday so i can confirm: they're delicious and the home-made cones are to die for :)

[@UncleWill1957]

Just viewed your terrific 25 Tips in 8 Min video. I am in my 60s and traveling solo. Do you have restaurant suggestions where someone dining solo will feel comfortable in the 11th?

[@JaySwanson]

Glad to have you along for the ride! In France, it's common to see people dining alone, so you should feel comfortable in most of my recommendations!

[@caellencaellen1958]

I want to see more of your Boston terrier!

[@JaySwanson]

Cooper always stealing the show!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

7:19 How cute! It’s a little cheesecake.

[@yzho105]

cheers brah, great video. my girl friend is a buzz kill and she hates going to bars (even a Tapas bar). I am gonna drag/deceive her to Le 18 and Bouche anyway after our dinners during our visit soon.

[@JaySwanson]

Bouche is more a restaurant, so that's an easy one! Le 18 is, but it's so chill. To be fair to your girlfriend, there are plenty of interesting and fun times to be had outside of bars, doesn't make her a buzz kill & def wouldn't recommend tricking her =)

[@yzho105]

[@FrenchMartini]

Question: I bought your guide this past Spring just after the big 2023 update; has it since been updated any further? If so, how does one access it? Thank you.

[@JaySwanson]

Hello and thank you for your support! There is not yet an updated version beyond what we released in 2023, but we are working hard for improvements. You should have received an email several months ago with information to create your personal login at www.parisinmypocket.com. If you've done that, you're all set and we'll let you know when updates happen. If you haven't, pop us an email at [e-mail] and we'll forward you the registration email again.

Jay are you not a fan of Le Peloton? Is that the answer? Ahahaha

Place monge

[@JaySwanson]

Place Monge is in in the 5th - we'll get there soon, but for food, the 11th takes the cake for me.

[@steveramirez8270]

Love Kate, is she single? She seems fun...

[@rmanchego6987]

Cher Jay. that shirt is not you, what the heck (say in French)...

[@JaySwanson]

Always a good general rule to refrain from commenting on someone's appearance, whether or not they're in the public eye.

[@nonokbh]

The 11th is also called 'Popincourt' and is subdivided in 4 neighborhoods (Folie Mericourt, Saint AMbroise, Roquette and Sainte Margueritte) fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des_quartiers_administratifs_de_Paris

[@JaySwanson]

Technically yes, Oberkampf as well - not administratif, but more colloquially.
