Loulou’ Friendly Diner

Punters will be forgiven for taking this diner's name with a pinch of salt. After all, the Saint-Germain restaurant scene is better known for its noxious cuisine, obnoxious touts and astronomical prices than for its 'friendliness'. But all doubts can be dispelled chez Loulou', which serves up fine burgers, bagels, salads and club sandwiches (all €15–€18) of all varieties. The service is indeed highly congenial, and the décor is a fun hybrid of Parisian brasserie and ’50s Americana. If you're in the area and after a quick bite, you could do a lot worse.
