There is a gem on the left bank that seems to have been around forever, and its dim sparkle is known by many - students, families, tourists and old timers, alike. They come for a light lunch of salad, quiche and pasta dishes, or for a coffee or tea and Viennese pastries such as apfelstrudel, sacher torte, and linzer torte. And in the winter, they come mostly for the chocolat chaud; I'm waiting for winter to try it.
When I was there, on a wet-ish day, people were coming and going nonstop for the goodies to take away, and the tiny attached dining room, where I was installed for a while with quiche and a book, was filled with others likewise engaged. The street it is on itself is worth a walk; narrow, narrow, narrow, it has a great deal of history (and previous names) behind it. It currently manages to have a bus line run though it (so don't step off the narrow sidewalk when others walking the other way try to get past you).
