"In search of coffee and pastries after arriving in Paris, we landed at Aux Deux Amis and ended up having so much more than a quick croissant. The restaurant is known for its busy hum in the evenings—music, cool clientele, thoughtful dishes, and lots of wine—but we were rewarded midday with a more relaxed bistro environment. Alongside a roster of cool natural wines, the restaurant serves small plates without a lot of fuss or pretension: ribbons of cured meat, piles of fresh seafood, and plenty of simply prepared and seasonally rotating vegetables. A plate of marinated zucchini, charred and topped with herbs and hunks of salty cheese and silky red peppers, was as delicious as it was simple." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff & Contributors
