Resumo
A 1920s bistro in the 3rd that has refused to modernise: a wood-fired oven, a few tables, and portions sized for another century.
O que pedir
The whole roast chicken, the slab of foie gras and the shoestring frites with garlic and parsley.
Porque ir?
The most argued-about restaurant in Paris — loved and attacked in equal measure, and unchanged by either.
Comentário
No website or official Instagram; book by phone. LVMH bought control in 2024 — worth checking the kitchen has not changed hands.
