This minuscule bistro brings in the crowds with its excellent home-style cooking, consistently some of the best bistro food in Paris. Chef Didier Varnier trained with guru Christian Constant at the Crillon, and it shows in such choices as pumpkin soup with goat-cheese ravioli, sweet-and-sour duck with dried-fruit tabbouleh, and spice-bread pudding with lemon cream -- the selection changes daily. Though you can order à la carte at lunch, dinner is a three-course prix-fixe affair for EUR32. Service is friendly, and the house wines are a treat. Reservations essential. Métro: République.
