Fodor's Expert Review La Bourse et La Vie

$$$$ Louvre/Tuileries Lunch Fodor's Choice

After a takeover by the French-trained American star chef Daniel Rose, this bistro stalwart transformed from a duckling to a swan, with elegant revamps of its bistro decor and an upgrade on its deeply satisfying French comfort-food classics. All meals begin with superb gougères (warm cheesy puffs), and, if you're wise, will end with dessert.
