Le Bistrot Paul Bert

A classic among classics, Bistrot Paul Bert has embodied the spirit of the Parisian bistro at its most assured for years, under the impetus of its founder Bertrand Auboyneau. An atmosphere unchanged for decades, a steak au poivre, oeufs mayo and a lemon-dressed cervelle that have entered legend, served in portions of a generosity one sees all too rarely these days. The wine list, with its shrewd classification by style, stays true to this philosophy – as accessible as it is full of fine discoveries: heavyweights from the Rhône Valley, Savoyard and Champagne gems, Beaujolais essentials. But also great Bordeaux classics that have traversed the decades – proof that the house intends to satisfy every persuasion without discrimination, welcoming tables that have nothing in common but their love of the bistro. All in a jovial atmosphere of well-informed tourists and loyal regulars.
