The area immediately around Kube is not terribly affluent, but it is a short walk to the Gar du Nord, or even to Montmartre proper. There is a small 'quartier artisanale' just at the foot of Sacre-Coeur which is worth a visit. It is a great place to people watch. For supper we went to Gaya Rive Gauche, the Pierre Gagnaire fish restaurant. You can eat the Michelin-starred chef's food at a fraction of the signature restaurant's price, but in Paris that is still an awful lot. The bill was more than €220, for two courses each, and two bottles of wine. There is very little on the menu that isn't fish, and the staff, while charming, stumbled over translating the non-fish components of each dish. Before supper we had an aperitif at the retro-chic Montalembert, less than a minute's walk from the restaurant.
