$$$-$$$$, Bistro, Le Marais
Fodor's Review:
Bistro
Benoît. If you loved Benoît before it became the property of Alain Ducasse and Thierry de la Brosse -- the pair that revived Aux Lyonnais -- chances are you'll adore it now. Without changing the vintage 1912 setting, which needed nothing more than a minor dusting, the illustrious new owners have subtly improved the menu with dishes such as marinated salmon, frogs' legs in a morel mushroom cream sauce, and an outstanding cassoulet served in a cast-iron pot. Hardworking young chef David Rathgeber, formerly of Aux Lyonnais, keeps the kitchen running smoothly and the waiters are charm incarnate. It's a splurge to be here, so go all the way and top off your meal with tarte tatin that's caramelized to the core or a rum-doused baba.
