Au pied de fouet.
At the foot of the whip. If you understand you tell me.
Plats du terroir. Staff aux petits oignons (Nice).
Too much too eat and nearly for free. A steak tartare for 12 euros.
Wine du pichet for ?? Good enough.
Boss very nice.
Not haute cuisine but French traditional.
From the good tips of uncle woinparis.

Thank you uncle Wo! No, I don't understand the foot of the whip.

Total price 34 € with dessert and too much wine. And I tipped. Jeez. How can i admit to tipping...

Thanks for the review. There are several of those in Paris in arrondisements 4-7.

I believe the name is because his establishment on rue St Benoit is located in an old diligence or coach inn on the route between Paris and St Cloud so the whip reference is for the horses on the coach, the driver always had a whip. Maybe they even used a whip as the sign for that type of establishment, like they do for other type establishments, I don't know.

merci, WoinP.

I hope that they were polite and friendly enough even for our friend Loacker.

Sounds good. It may go on the (very, very long) maybe list for my trip next month.

Woin:
Definitely will be dining here when I'm in Paris for a few days this May and staying at Hotel du Danube. Thanks for your ongoing helpful and humorous monitorings of my favorite city. I look forward to seeing where you will pop up next in your meandering.
