Chez Silvana - Paris 10e Arrondissement

As a former chef of portuguese and cross over culinary arts... having lived and worked a little bit around the world...I simply became amazed by this little unpretensious and delightful snack- bar ! The dishes that both me and my son tasted were absolutely delicious ! When you put your soul in the art of cooking ...you get this masterpiece of taste ! Apart of the prime food, the hospitality and natural friendly approach of the owners Jorge and Silvana originally from the northeast portugese province of Tras -Os -Montes made even this first visit more memorable ! A place to ever come back....!

Where can you eat something tasty, fresh and affordable in Paris? Chez Silvana. Where can you drink a good bottle of wine with your food for 10 euros? Chez Silvana. I have been eating there a feww times and freshness and quality is consistent. Everytime I go to Paris, I stop by and have lunch there.

I love markets and by good chance I came across Chez Silvana at the St Quentin market on Bld Magena. It's bar with stools . The Portuguese food is mostly grilled or stews that take hours to cook.I went several times within a few days. I had grilled bacaulau (Salted cod) and on an other occasion grilled octopus .Both were delicious . My meal with dessert , wine ,and coffee cost around 25 euros. It's a great place to eat if one is by ones self , because many restaurants dislike single clients.

This is not your classic French bistro. It is however, a wonderful little gem we found completely by accident in the Marche St Quentin. Essentially its a bar and restaurant which is in a market stall in the Market. However, if you want a really fun experience then go, you sit at the bar amongst French and Portuguese will be served by Jorge and Silvana who were really good fun. This made our holiday just that little bit better. The Leitao (roast suckling pig) was excellent and the beer is very reaasonably priced. They made us feel very welcome

Adoro and recommend conhecer os markets popular. this em bvd magenta é mais uma adorável descoberta. a portuguesa silvana tem refeições ligeiras, mas regadas a muita conversa, stories e com muito azeite e vinho. o powder to lagareiro e o caldo verde são imperdiveis !
