• i wish this really were my kitch'n!

i love my kitch'n...much more than i love my kitchen! for a start, jennifer, who owns them (there are now two locations - bravo, jennifer!) & who prepares all the spectacularly fresh & delicious food is much friendlier & less grumpy than i am when i'm in the kitchen. if it's not too busy, she's always happy to have a chat & a laugh. even though she speaks english very well, she'll indulge my buffoonery as i attempt to pick my way through a french conversation. don't be put off by the juxtaposition of the batignolles market restaurant. it is just across from a stall that sells stinky meat, that's true - but you'll be heartened as you people watch. there are many people who are curious about this colourful, cosy corner. they'll often stop & have a look. there's always a steady stream of customers, too. whenever i've had the good fortune to pop in for a meal, i always have to take something away with me. there's just too much choice - & it's all very colourful, healthy & very filling. you won't be disappointed, so go! after sating yourself at my kitch'n, you've got the underrated neighbourhood of batignolles to explore. it's an undiscovered gem in paris.
