Montmartre & Northern Paris
It's hard to argue with the battered, fried goodness at this ideally located fish-and-chip shop near Canal St-Martin. Nothing is frozen here: it's all line-caught fish fresh from Brittany (three varieties per day), accompanied by thick-cut chips (peeled and chopped sur place), brown malt vinegar and minty mushy peas. Pickled eggs and onions are optional. Takeaway is available.
Look out for its food truck around town.
