Chez Eugène, Paris

Don't let this restaurant's touristy location on the Place du Tertre deter you; it may not be the hidden gem of Paris, but Chez Eugène is a great place for people-watching. The waiters dress up in 1930s style, complete with suspenders and newsboy caps, and you can snag a seat on the terrace in good weather to watch the painters in the square sell their work. It's also the perfect place to treat yourself to an apéritif after scaling the Butte Montmartre, as the stairs up the hill will lead you directly to this square. Do bear in mind that you're here for the location, not the food. The prices for the main courses are a bit high, but for a drink and a quick snack off the appetizer menu, there's no place better! -Emily Monaco
