Caves Saint-Gilles, Paris

This is a genuine tapas bar, offering an assortment capable of satisfying the greediest of men. Fine-looking waitresses will serve you and the decor is exactly what you would expect from the outside. The ambience is hot, conversation around the bottle of Rioja is lively and you will certainly lick your lips when you see the steaming paella being handed around (on Sundays). Its most famous dishes include octopus salad, grilled squid and eggplant, and Spanish ice cream, all of which are reasonably priced.
