Buy

• Brentano's, 37 avenue de l'Opéra 75002 PARIS, Métro Opéra, Tel +33 1 42 61 52 50, British-American Bookshop, good choice of Fine Arts books, etc.

Eat

• Café Etienne Marcel, 34, rue Etienne Marcel, Métro: Etienne Marcel. +33 1 45 08 01 03. A Costes brothers' creation but with lower prices than many of their other restaurants the Etienne Marcel combines a creative menu with hip interior design and hip musical ambience. Vegetarians: The crispy risotto balls (risotto croustillant) is amazing, and pretty much impossible to make at home. Get in here! 15-20 Euro
• Juvéniles, 47 rue de Richelieu, Métro Palais Royal, tel +33 1 42 97 46 49; a nice wine bar + tapas where you can buy & take away the bottles you've sampled during dinner ! Small & (pleasantly) crowded.
• Willi's Wine Bar,13 rue des Petits Champs, Métro Palais Royal, +33 1 42 61 05 09; more upscale than 'Juvéniles'; good food & good to great bottles of wines (Beaujolais, Australian...); great cheeses & deserts (yummy crumble))...
