Set in a location with a culinary history dating back to 1848, the restaurant offers timeless French classics crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients. The menu features Parisian staples such as pan-seared scallops, chicken supreme, and a decadent bourbon mille-feuille, alongside the bistrot’s famed Île-de-France leeks, said to be the best in Paris.
