This quintessential bistro is a bright beacon on an otherwise ordinary street. The founders have gone on to other enterprises, but the new owner, a longtime employee, has kept the regulars happy with traditional French fare, including frisée aux lardons (salad with crisp bacon cubes and poached egg), terrine of foie gras, duck confit with lentils, steak with pommes frites, and dense almond cake with custard cream. The small verdigris-topped bar is a good place for a glass of wine and a small bite. Tables are close together, so any secrets should be whispered.
