Le Balzar

$$, Bistro, Quartier Latin


Fodor's Review:

Regulars grumble about the uneven cooking at Le Balzar, but they continue to come back because they can't resist the waiters' wry humor and the dining room's amazing people-watching possibilities (you can also drop in for a drink on the terrace). It attracts politicians, writers, tourists, and local eccentrics -- and remains one of the city's classic brasseries, the perfect stop before or after a Woody Allen film in a local art-house cinema. Don't expect miracles from the kitchen, but stick to evergreens such as snails in garlic butter, onion soup, and panfried veal liver with sautéed potatoes.
