Le Derriere is a cool place not far from Beaubourg. Its name means backyards and is a pun – it used to be the backyard of a restaurant that stood here before but now is among restaurant frontmen. It is the realm of eclectics – you will not find a single matching chair or table. Some people eat, some play table soccer. If you are alone, entertain yourself with books and art albums or go to the second floor to find yourself in a real apartment. Walk along the corridor to a wardrobe – it has a secret door to a smoking room (an impossible facility for a Paris restaurant) with stuffed animals and artistically lopsided shelves. Le Derriere is a good choice for dinner, lunch or Sunday brunch. Reserve a table via Reservez une table calendar on their website.
