Last night we went to a lovely little (10 tables) bistrot just a couple of blocks from Rue de Rivoli and the Louvre. Despite being so close to the Louvre it was typically french and we were the only english speaking people in the restaurant. The food was good (and reasonably priced). I had the "Salade de Boeuf" (cold beef salad) and Rognon de Veau (veal kidneys) Chris had a Frisee salad and Bar (sea bass). We then shared a "plat de fromage". We had a reasonably priced, but nice 1998 Chateau Beaumont Haut Medoc. As you know because there are so many places to go, we rarely go back to the same place again. However, this was a place we enjoyed and felt to comfortable we plan to go back.

"Constant in both quality and kindness", this "wonderful bistro" between the Palais Royal and Les Halles is treasured for its "good", "traditional family-style cooking", including "real [French] classics, such as marinated leeks", "lentil salad, cold beef salad and roast leg of lamb"; the "friendly welcome" and "charming service" add to the allure of this "sentimental favorite" that's also, wonder of wonders, "a sure value."
