Stéphane Jégo's boisterous 7th-arrondissement Basque restaurant — enormous portions, hearty pork and duck and beans, and a famous rice pudding you should not skip. Come hungry, come for dinner when the room is loud and full, and book ahead. The energy is rugby-crowd, the food is generous, the rice pudding is legendary. It is Basque cooking with the volume turned up — a packed, raucous room where the plates are huge and the spirit is unpretentious, the antidote to fussy Paris fine dining. Jégo runs it with real character, and the famous rice pudding is the non-negotiable finish to a meal built for appetite.
