(Last Update: 07.09.2024) This time, just a little bit outside the centre. Defense'.n Courbevoie We go out to the side; Because we have a good reason: we are going to one of the cutest restaurants, or rather trattorias, in Paris: Trattoria d'Angelo (tratorya dancelo).
In fact, you should consider this place not as a place to go to during your trip to Paris, but rather as a place to stay. Defense On the other hand, I'm sharing it because I think you should try it. This is my favorite place in Paris eating and drinking It's one of the venues, but my reason is a little different; because for ten years in Paris I lived very close to this restaurant, and now Every time I come to Paris the house I stayed in Right opposite this restaurant 😉
Trattoria d'Angelo is an extremely warm and friendly family restaurant. In fact, if we consider the distinction between "trattoria" and "ristoranti" in Italian, this is not a stylish and flashy restaurant, but rather a charming, family-run restaurant.
However, I cannot say that it is a small place; On the contrary, it is a large enough space; Of course, since we are people who want to have dinner early for the sake of healthy nutrition, we always go here at 7 in the evening; We almost open the shop :) Every time we visit, we see the place empty and wonder "How does this place make money?" When we ask and see people flocking in as we are about to finish our meal, we witness once again how late Italians eat their dinner and laugh at our situation...
Every time we go here, the friend whose name I never thought to ask (I think Angelo) and who I think is the owner of this place greets us with all sincerity and says "bona seeeera"... You don't get such a warm welcome in a restaurant in Paris, you know :) After a short conversation half in Italian and half in French, every We sit at our usual table; To the side where the oven is located, that is, the part closest to the kitchen; At the bottom of the radiator :)
Normally, people want to sit near the window on the street side or further in the middle, but for some reason we always sit at the kitchen side since we feel like we are visiting our friend here. The friend who welcomes us comes and chats a lot, I'm not normally used to it, but here I feel obliged to have an appetizer.
The crunchy cookies accompanying the appetizer come in a tiny bowl; It's never enough for two people, although they can still bring it if you want, but we don't want it so we don't have too much salt; oh this healthy life :)
Every time I go here Meat with lemon sauce and baked potatoes My place is without exception. Even though the sauce for the meat is always wonderful, the meat can sometimes be good and sometimes mediocre, but that potato, oh, isn't there that potato? I could eat it whole, it's so delicious...
Their red wines are also wonderful; Not necessarily Italian... They don't serve French wine, there's no need anyway. No matter how slowly I try to eat, the food is gone in a flash; If I were not ashamed, I would scrape the plate with bread, I enjoy what I eat so much.
I'm not a big drinker and I'm resistant to alcohol, but when I take two sips of this red wine, I feel like I'm on clouds, my head immediately turns into a lilac. Actually, my life is on track, the things are in place, I guess that's why I've always had good taste in Paris, I like whatever I eat, whatever I drink makes me happy.
The biggest problem after the meal is "should we eat dessert or not?" crisis; Of course we want to eat, but as I said, we have an -unnecessary- obsession with healthy living, we try to restrain ourselves every time, but here Tiramisu It is so delicious; While we were talking to each other saying "no, let's not eat", "what would you like for dessert?" When we get a question, one of us always says "Let's share a tiramisu, please" and we order it, and that one tiramisu is never enough!
We crown this beautiful evening with coffee and complete a wonderful dinner menu. Since our house is just two steps away, I don't think we ever left here and went home, always with the lie of "let's thaw our food" CourbevoieWe take a tour around and return home that way, but then we feel as if we ate at a restaurant far away and laugh at our situation.
Yes, in this article, I told you about a place that is valuable on a personal level and that not everyone needs to go and try it, but as I said, Defense If you are staying on the side and want to have dinner in a warm and friendly atmosphere, I believe Trattoria d'Angelo will make you happy. I think it's per person € 20 - € 25 You will be able to get out of here with .
To Tratorria d'Angelo Defenseturn your back on the square to go from Great ArchWhen you walk to , there is a giant red metal statue on your left, pass it and walk a little further; Soon on the left you will see a skyscraper with round corners; When you raise your head to the top floor, "Coeur DefenseYou will see that it says ". From here, turn left and go downhill. The road may be a little lonely, but it's safe, don't worry; Follow this path straight without turning anywhere; Cross the street at the lights and walk a little further. You will see a bus stop, and about fifty meters after passing it, you will see Trattoria d'Angelo on the right, at the second lights. So, turn left from Coeur Défense and continue straight ahead; It's that simple.
I hope you will visit Trattoria d'Angelo one day and enjoy it as much as we do. If you want to eat pizza in a nice place in the touristic center of Paris, the first place that comes to my mind is Pizzeria Popolare It will be.
May you have a lot of fun and always have a good taste...
