Bistro
Chez Savy. Just off the glitzy avenue Montaigne, Chez Savy occupies its own circa-1930s dimension, oblivious to the area's fashionization. The Art Deco cream-and-burgundy interior looks blissfully intact (avoid the back room unless you're in a large group), and the waiters show not a trace of attitude. Fill up on rib-sticking specialties from the Auvergne in central France -- lentil salad with bacon, foie gras (prepared on the premises), perfectly charred lamb with featherlight shoestring frites. Order a celebratory bottle of Mercurey with your meal and feel smug that you've found this place.

From the gravelly voiced waiters to the endearingly dated decor, my husband and I will not forget our dinner here. The menu is French only, but the helpful staff will see you through!
