Practical tips
To reach these places, the metro is your best option. The 8th arrondissement (Kavod) is well served by lines 9 and 13. The 17th (Maison Gabriel, Safrane) is accessible via line 3. For the 11th (La MiNהארץ, Les Garçons Bouchers), lines 9 and 2 are convenient. Note that hours vary: some establishments, such as Chez Isaac, serve only lunch, while Tikoun Olam stays open late in the evening. Remember to book, especially for Kavod and Safrane, which are very busy. A local's tip: avoid peak lunch hours if you want to find a table quickly, and use weekends to explore the surrounding neighborhoods.
