Portraits of cows adorn the stone walls of this bistro near the Luxembourg gardens, hinting at the kitchen's penchant for meaty cooking (Ferrandaise is a breed of cattle). Still, there's something for every taste on the market-inspired menu, which always lists three meat and three fish mains. Dill-marinated salmon with sweet mustard sauce is a typical starter, and a thick, milk-fed veal chop might come with a squash pancake and spinach. The dining room buzzes with locals who appreciate the good-value EUR 32 prix fixe and the brilliant bento-box-style EUR 15 lunch menu, in which three courses are served all at once.
