Bistrot Paul Bert

Paris, France

If you were to imagine a classic French neighbourhood spot, Bistrot Paul Bert would immediately spring to mind. White tablecloths, chalkboard menu, a bustling atmosphere and servers that are about as Parisian as it gets, can all be checked off the list. Look out for the steak-frites with a hotly recommended Cognac and peppercorn sauce; fried egg with black truffles; and roast shoulder of suckling pig. Other dishes that are perennially popular? Sole meunière, côte de boeuf for two; and boudin blanc. Loosen your belt a notch because the desserts are delightful, with îles flottantes with praline rose, Paris-Brest and crème caramel keeping the sweet-toothed happy. The drinks menu leans towards robust reds and crisp, dry whites over cocktails. It's classic French cuisine in a homely, reasonably priced bistro that's as popular with locals as it is with tourists.
