We finally found a relaxing place in the ‘Les Halles‘ district, which usually very crowded and noisy. This restaurant / tearoom / bar named ‘Imperial Bus’ has a beautiful Art Nouveau interior. It’s so quiet and peaceful that we almost forgot we were in the center of Paris. Green asparagus soup with smoked ham, Chestnut cream soup with foie gras, Sautéed squid with wild rice…Here you can enjoy simple but tasty food. The lunch courses are especially reasonable. The desserts like raspberry tart or chocolate cake are very good, as well. You can also use it as a tearoom in the afternoon and as a bar in the evening. This is indeed a practical address to remember.
