Snuggling under the Montmartre Hill, perched below the Sacre-Coeur and huddles of sightseers, is the Halle Saint-Pierre, a somewhat unknown gallery, library and cafe exhibiting outsider, different and off-trend art. The former covered market, built in 1868 by a student of Victor Baltard (who designed the infamous Les Halles), has been reformed. The Baltard design, steel framework, cyclical staircase and large gaping windows remain though are now, softened by the boldly-printed posters, the various books lining the shelves and the cluttered, magazine-covered table tops. It's well worth a visit. 

 With masterfully crafted creations showcasing fresh ingredients, Sushi Shunei is one of our fave spots for sushi. Opt for their set menus: choose between nigiri sushi or indulge in the omakase experience featuring sashimi and grilled fish.

While this hidden gem is quite hard to find, the 19th-century chic mansion and beautiful courtyard terrace with stunning views of Paris is surely gorgeous. Each suite, designed by a different artist is sure to delight. Plus, make sure to go for brunch on the weekends.
