$, Bistro, Opéra/Grands Boulevards
Fodor's Review:
Thierry Breton's bright, easygoing bistro next door to his other bistro, Chez Michel, is popular with polished Parisian professionals for whom it serves as a sort of canteen -- why cook when you can eat this well so affordably? The menu covers lentil soup with fresh croutons, braised endive and andouille (tripe sausage) salad, and roast lamb on a bed of Paimpol beans. Good, if not exceptional, desserts include pain perdu, a dessert version of French toast -- here it's topped with a roasted pear or whole cherries.
