Au Trou Gascon
$$$-$$$$, Bistro, Bastille/Nation
Fodor's Review:
This classy establishment off place Daumesnil -- well off the beaten tourist track but worth the trip -- is overseen by celebrated chef Alain Dutournier. His wife runs the dining room, which combines contemporary furnishings with beautiful ceiling moldings. He does a refined take on the cuisine of Gascony -- a region renowned for its ham, foie gras, lamb, and duck. Most popular with the regulars are the surprisingly light cassoulet (all the meats are grilled before going into the pot) and a superb duck confit. You can also find an ethereal dessert of raspberries, ice cream, and meringue. With some 875 wines and 100 Armagnacs to choose from, this is the place to splurge on vintage.
