About

This informal bistro is often filled with regulars and has been a favorite since its opening in 1880. The decor hasn't changed much since. The cheapest fixed-price menus are among the best bargains in town. Menu items include seafood dishes such as pavé of monkfish with roughly textured mustard sauce; breast of duck cooked in beer; savory pot-au-feu maison (house stew); and, as a plat du jour, cassoulet of sausages and lentils. Don't come for refined cuisine -- you should expect hearty, time-tested old favorites.
