$$-$$$, Bistro, Haute French, Trocadéro/Tour Eiffel
Fodor's Review:
Bistro
La Table de Lauriston. Serge Barbey has developed a winning formula in his chic bistro near the Trocadero: top-notch ingredients, simply prepared and generously served. His trademark dish, a gargantuan rib steak, is big enough to silence even the hungriest Texan. To start, you can't go wrong with his silky foie gras au torchon -- the liver is poached in a flavorful bouillon -- or one of the seasonal salads, such as white asparagus in herb vinaigrette. Given the neighborhood you might expect a businesslike setting, but the dining room feels cheerful, with vividly colored walls and velvet-upholstered chairs. Don't miss his giant baba au rhum, which the waiters will douse in a choice of three rums.
