Fodor's Expert Review Colbert

The kind of smooth-running, welcoming all-day brasserie that is difficult to find in Paris these days, Colbert offers well-prepared bistro favorites like croque monsieur, escargot, and steak haché, along with bigger plates like pan-roasted sea trout with samphire and seaweed and cider-braised pork cheeks. The service is professional but friendly and the atmosphere is stylish but comfortable. Although a neighborhood favorite, it's a swanky neighborhood which is reflected in the prices, but a prix-fixe menu (two courses fir £24.75 and three courses for £29.95) offers good value.
