Au Pied de Cochon is a historic brasserie in the central Les Halles district near the Louvre that’s open every day, and open late. Come at any point between 8am and 5am, even on Christmas day, to enjoy a platter of oysters or their signature dish that honors the patron saint of butchers and features… Read More »Au Pied de Cochon The post Au Pied de Cochon first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
With its worn wooden tables, intricately painted ceilings, and charcuterie slicer propped on the marble counter, L'Assiette has the precise look of a dream Paris bistro. It also serves many of the classic dishes, like escargots and cassoulet, which have mostly disappeared from the city's restaurants. The far-flung location in the 14th arrondissement, near the Catacombs but far from the center, has probably helped L'Assiette to stay off the tourist radar. Chef David Rathgeber and his team are ...| PARIS BY MOUTH
Aléa is new restaurant, tucked into the sweet and sedate backside of the Montmartre hill, that’s run by a young couple. It feels personal. Chef Léa Lestage, who previously worked at the three-star Epicure, is serving a market-driven menu at night with 3-4 options per course (starters 11-16€, mains 24-26€). When I went, that included the… Read More »Aléa The post Aléa first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH

A l’Epi d’Or is a second spot for classic French food from Jean-François Piège, and about half the price of its nearby sibling, La Poule au Pot. A daily two- or three-course menu (37€ or 46€) makes this a good deal for central Paris, and the à la carte menu contains kid-friendly classics like croque monsieur… Read More »A l’Epi d’Or The post A l’Epi d’Or first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH

The casual neighborhood bistro we all dream about, complete with a charming host (Margaux) who remembers your previous visit, and her chef-husband Romain who makes beautiful bistro food in a tiny kitchen.

In the age of Instagram, the plates and dining room at Amarante feel almost defiantly unadorned. Christophe Philippe has created a haven near Bastille for those who unapologetically love fatty food and offal and who share a disdain for vegetables. You won’t find any herbs, acidity or brightness on these plates. Both the food and… Read More »Amarante The post Amarante first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
Le Louis Vins has been tucked into the small rue de la Mongagne Ste Geneviève for seemingly forever. I’ve walked past it a million times but never thought to go in, and my dinner guests said the same thing upon arrival. But I was optimistic, based on a few strong reviews, to think that a… Read More »Le Louis Vins The post Le Louis Vins first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH
For the wine-indifferent, Café de la Nouvelle Mairie is merely a timeless, picturesque terraced café on a shady lane beside the Panthéon. But for alert wine geeks, it might as well be the Panthéon itself, as pertains to natural wine. The post Café de la Nouvelle Mairie first appeared on PARIS BY MOUTH.| PARIS BY MOUTH

Le Maquis is a small French restaurant located on the far side of Montmartre boasting small portions of impeccable, contemporary bistro fare and a small, all-natural wine list.
