The Ashtray
Long open day and night, Au Pied de Cochon was the Parisian institution that never slept, and this ashtray was made by the house in the eighties, with its logo and illustration. A vintage piece selected by GIFTSHOP.
It still promises “Open day and night”, along with a phone number that has not answered since 1996. The brasserie, happily, is still there to pick up.
Au Pied de Cochon
In the heart of the capital, a stone's throw from the Canopée des Halles and the Louvre, Au Pied de Cochon was, when it opened in 1947, the first establishment to offer continuous service, day and night. This legendary Parisian brasserie, open every day from 8 am to 5 am, welcomes its guests in a convivial atmosphere built around traditional, generous French cooking.
The chef's specialities include stuffed pig's trotter Périgord-style, the Tentation de Saint-Antoine and the double Ibaiama pork chop to share, created with Eric Ospital, not forgetting the onion soup. On sunny days, the fine terrace of this festive restaurant is the place to share boards of charcuterie and cheese.
