This is the kind of comfortable neighborhood place you'd look for in Paris: checkerboard floors, sunny walls hung with black and white photographs, and waiters rushing around in white aprons. University types, writers, and actors from the area come to this authentic French bistro-on-a-budget for the ambience and gently priced wine list. Steak frites, crisp herb-roasted chicken, and exotic tajine de volaille (a Moroccan stew of chicken, prunes, olives, and a shopping list of seasonings) get the creative juices flowing.
