Practical tips
Public transport in Paris is efficient. For the Marais (Chez Isaac), take line 8 or 9. For the 12th (Tikoun Olam), line 1 or RER A is recommended. The 17th (Maison Gabriel, Safrane) is well served by line 3.
Insider tip: Always book for dinner, especially at Tikoun Olam and La MiNהארץ. At lunchtime, arrive before 12:30 to avoid lines. Check the specific hours on the websites, as they may vary depending on the season or Jewish holidays.
