About

If you love snails, don't miss dining at L'Escargot Montorgueil. Founded in 1832, this classic old-world restaurant has been serving up snails since its inception, and former regulars such as Sarah Bernhardt, Marcel Proust, and Charlie Chaplin would doubtless swear that they've got it down pat. A variety of escargot dishes are on offer, including, snails in garlic butter, Gueusaille de Kouikette (baked potatoes stuffed with snails), and – for the truly decadent – snails with truffles and foie gras. If gastropods aren't your thing, a host of other delectable dishes are also available, from frogs' legs to Chateaubriand.
