Paris Jazz Restaurants...Chez Papa à St. Germain
Yesterday was one of those evenings where I left with motivation do faire some jogging at the Seine. When I entered my apartment I decided to go out for drinks and petite dinner with my boyfriend. We walked around St. Germain which is pretty touristic, discovered some nice restaurants at rue Dragon we will try next. As the baby wanted to have some more fresh air and not sit in a small street we walked up to BD St. Germain and found a small and nicely decorated Jazz Restaurant called "Chez Papa". It's very near at "Les Deux Margots" if you just walk around the corner. There are many other restaurants but for my taste those are too touristic. Voilà. We ordered the vin de la maison and it tasted pretty good. Staff was exceptionally friendly for Paris and the piona jazz concert also très agrèable. It is not cheap... but tell me what is nice and cheap in Paris? We left nicely on the border of being a little drunk and walked away with the piona sounds still in our ears. That night I slept wonderful. I have no idea whether it was the wine, the piano or something else.
For the near summer evenings we will definitelly go there again.

I would really recommend this restaurant for a Saturday Lunch or coffee during shopping. The people visiting the restaurant are more conservative but in a sympathetic way. I will never go shopping at Bon Marché but eating there is a good thing.
