In practice
To get between these places, prioritize the metro. The 17th (Maison Gabriel, Safrane) is well served by lines 2 and 3. The 11th (La MiNהארץ, Les Garçons Bouchers) benefits from lines 9 and 2. For the 8th (Kavod), line 9 or RER A are convenient. Watch the hours: many close on Sundays and open early at lunchtime. Plan to book, especially at Kavod and La MiNהארץ, where tables go quickly. Always bring your confirmed reservations; crowds can be heavy even during the week.
