The original location of the modern bouillon revival — classic French dishes at worker's-canteen prices, all under €20, served in a genuinely beautiful room. Start with the oeuf mayo, the test of any bouillon, then a blanquette de veau or boeuf bourguignon, and finish with profiteroles. There are no reservations and always a queue, but it moves fast and the food is the real thing, not a gimmick. Arrive at 6pm or after 9:30pm to skip the worst of the line. It revived a Parisian institution and made genuine French cooking affordable again.
