Fodor's Expert Review La Boissonnerie

Fodor's Choice
A perennial favorite, this lively, unpretentious bistro is prized by expats and locals for its friendly atmosphere, consistently good food, solid wine list, and English-speaking staff—a quartet sorely lacking in the neighborhood. Dishes like velvety black squid-ink risotto, roasted cod with tender braised fennel, or duck breast with creamy polenta always hit the spot, especially when followed by decadent molten chocolate cake or poached pear with white wine and sorbet.
