In the Latin Quarter, the adorable Bistro des Lettres was dreamt up by Franco-Chinese Yinhua Qiu, a devoted fan of French culture and founder of the Larome group which runs almost a dozen restaurants in Asia. In decor inspired by charming Left Bank addresses, the menu proposes bistro cuisine in a creative, ultra-fresh tradition. The bonus ? Each evening, the restaurant manager places a wooden box containing pens on the table and invites you to write a letter immortalizing what you feel right now. The letter will be sent to you in one year’s time, at the address of your choice. Bistro des Lettres, 52 boulevard Saint Germain, Paris 5e. Ouvert tous les jours de 12h à 22h30 en continu.
