This small venue with a gorgeous Art Nouveau interior packs out quickly, so be sure to book. Its many regulars know that the only thing conventionally budget about this place is the size of your bill, making it a real oasis in the heart of Paris. Start with the delicious cassoulette of snails and cèpes, then go for the signature potée (a hearty pork stew served in a cast-iron casserole), the boeuf bourguignon or a daily special. Finish up with the first-rate chocolate mousse or crème brûlée, and bear in mind that the house wines are better than average.
