This Jewish deli specializing in what it calls “la gastronomie Yiddish” from Central Europe and Russia has been around since 1946. Sacha Finkelsztajn has a pricey but delectable selection of breads, spreads, pastries, cold cuts, and other take-out specialties.

His Strudel are delicious andso his cheese-cake. But the reason to come here is for their incredible pastrami sandwich. This isn’t New York pastrami, but lean spiced beef cut thinly and layered with slim cucumber and tomato slices, red chili paste, and eggplant caviar on an onion roll. There are also a handful of tables where you can enjoy your freshly made sandwich

Since 1928, Studio 28 has been dedicated to avant-garde independent cinema. Jean Cocteau designed the chandeliers for this movie house in 1950, which was also used for a scene in Amélie.

There is a lovely covered terrace for drinks before. The studio is on walking distance from the Montmartre studio loft.
