Patrick Pleutin, the artist and illustrator known for his vibrant, poetic paintings of culinary life and his work for Le Monde's M magazine, has painted the charming façade of Le Bistrot Paul Bert across the back of this limited-edition T-shirt. On the front, the bistrot's logo, reimagined by his hand.
Finely made and high in quality, it is designed to be worn for years, like a favourite table.
Bistrot Paul Bert
Opened in 1997 on rue Paul Bert, in the 11th arrondissement, Bistrot Paul Bert boasts one of the most charming dining rooms in Paris and one of its most agreeable crowds: newcomers feel they have walked into the Parisian bistro of their dreams. Run by Bertrand Auboyneau and Gwenaëlle Cadoret, the house entrusts its stoves to chef Thierry Laurent.
The menu draws straight from the classic bistro repertoire: steak frites, andouillette, soufflé and tarte Tatin, not forgetting the steak au poivre, the house's signature dish. Compared with many other bistros, Paul Bert stands out for its first-rate sourcing and careful cooking. The dining room is open Tuesday to Saturday, for lunch and dinner.
