Chez Jeanette

Chez Jeanette review

When she sold her café back in March 2007, Jeanette handed over to the young team from Chez Justine because they promised not to change a thing. Now the monstrous 1940s lights, tobacco-stained wallpaper depicting the Moulin Rouge and PVC-covered banquettes have been rewarded with a Fooding prize for decor, and the café is quickly becoming one of Paris's hippest spots for an aperitif. There's a plat du jour at lunch and plates of cheese and charcuterie at night; at 8pm, the fluorescent lights go off and candlelight takes over, to a cheer.
