Guidebook for Paris
Food Scene
Verse Toujours is our favorite typical Parisian cafe in the area, with outdoor seating that they enclose and heat in the winter. Every time we go we end up getting either the burger or the steak tartare.

La Bufalina is our go-to pizza place - at 9€ for a delicious takeaway pizza, it's the best deal we've found in Paris so far. Prices are a good bit higher if you choose to eat in the restaurant, and you may find that it takes a long time to get your pizza, as the kitchen prioritizes the takeaway orders being called in.

Our favorite pizza place before La Bufalina opened up, Golosino remains excellent, and they are a bit friendlier. The pizzas range from 10-13€.

We're quite lucky to live near one of the better Mexican options in Paris. Burritos are sized for French tastes (read: small), but the quesadillas are deliciously cheesy and the overall quality is good.

Friendly dumpling shop - 15 dumplings for 8€. They don't do fried, only steamed, and our favorite is the pork and chives.

Essentials
This place has incredible Italian products - fresh pasta, at least 12 types of salumi, close to 20 cheeses (the burrata is the standout), spices, etc. They get their products delivered every Thursday, so the lines are crazy long on Thursday/Friday, and almost nothing is left by the next Wednesday. If you go at a busy time, expect to wait at least 20 minutes to be served; the proprietors are not exactly the type to hurry things.

Parks & Nature
Jardin des Plantes is just a two-minute walk from our apartment and is perfect for jogging. It's home to beautiful botanical gardens (free, except for an 8€ fee for the greenhouses) and the Natural History Museum. The gates are usually closed at least 30-45 minutes before sunset, so hours can be limited during the winter.
