Foot and Fire

  In-house made wines and cheeses are the cups of tea of La Vie Parisienne but the place offers varied food favorites from pasta, sausages and pizza. The place is cozy and a dinner in the place is highly recommended because the al fresco dining experience offers a beautifully-lit garden and nice cozy roof decks.
