Fodor's Expert Review Au Boeuf Couronné

Parc de La Villette once housed the city's meat market, and this brasserie devoted to fine beef (whether French or Irish) soldiers on as if nothing has changed. It's worth the trek here to sample one of the 16 takes on the beef theme (plus a gargantuan marrow bone) or good fish and seafood dishes, such as sole or scallops (in season). You'll find meat-lovers from all over Paris in the buzzy dining room, feasting on the good-value, €38 four-course lunch menu that includes an apéro and a half bottle of wine.
