Restaurants hiding in Parisian homes

When Claude Cabri was a child, she had a habit of re-arranging the furniture in her family's living room to create a caf scene before dressing up and serving crepes and tea to her friends.

These days, her childhood passion for elaborate tea parties has evolved into Lunch in the Loft, one of several unofficial restaurants in Paris set in people's homes.

Similar "underground" restaurants have been popping up in secret locations around the world - Berlin, San Francisco, New York and Hong Kong - for the past decade or so but they have only recently taken off in the self-described world capital of food.
