18th Arrondissement (Pigalle)
Miroir
Whether seated in the sunlight by the front windows, at the center room's bar, or beneath the back section's glass ceiling, diners find the red and gray decor and neo-bistro dishes reflected in Le Miroir's numerous framed mirrors (hence the name). This bistro's simple interior, with vinyl banquettes, terrazzo tile floors, and a slate-board menu, brings the focus to the fresh, seasonal food, such as grilled fish or duck breast with chanterelles. An affordable lunch option, the prix fixe menu includes an entrée, the ideal wine accompaniment, and a café gourmand (an espresso surrounded by three small desserts).
Insider Tip:
After your meal, check out nearby Square Jehan Rictus' "Wall of I Love Yous," a wall made of more than 600 enamel tiles expressing ways to say "I love you" in different languages.
